Flavor Profile

Full-bodied for a decaf, with brisk black tea depth, soft malt-like warmth, and a sturdy finish that works well with milk.

Good to Know

This is a decaffeinated black tea, not a caffeine-free herbal tea. It is made with CTC leaves, which brew faster and stronger than many whole-leaf teas. A good choice for anyone who wants a bold black tea feel with much less caffeine.

Why We Love It

Decaf Irish Breakfast CTC is for the tea drinker who still wants a proper strong cup, just without the full caffeine punch.

The small CTC leaves brew quickly into a deep, coppery infusion with classic black tea body and briskness. It has the hearty feel people expect from Irish breakfast-style tea, making it a good choice with milk, sugar, honey, or a simple biscuit on the side.

We especially like this one for customers who love breakfast tea but want more flexibility. It can stand in for a morning cup when you are cutting back on caffeine, or become a cozy evening tea when regular black tea would be too much.

The tea is decaffeinated using a CO2 process, chosen to preserve more of the tea’s familiar black tea character while reducing caffeine.

Brewing Notes

  • Use freshly boiled water and steep 3–5 minutes.
  • Because CTC tea brews quickly, start closer to 3 minutes if you prefer a smoother cup.
  • Steep longer for a stronger, brisker brew that can take milk well.
  • Add milk or sugar for a classic breakfast-tea style cup.

Caffeine Rating

Our caffeine ratings are general guides based on a typical 8 oz cup. Because tea is a plant, the exact caffeine in your cup can vary depending on the tea, harvest, leaf size, water temperature, steep time, and how much tea you use. Want the deeper explanation?
