Decaffeinated tea is a subject of much debate. Many people are worried about the processes that the tea undertakes to achieve the final product and how that effects flavour and their health.
At The Tea Centre we only sell decaffeinated tea which has been treated using the European process.This is a method developed in Europe and is a 100% natural decaffeination process that uses harmless carbon dioxide (CO2) as the solvent. The CO2 gently removes caffeine without any need for dangerous chemicals, high temperatures, or high pressures, which can deform the delicate chemistry of the tea.
The traditional tea decaffeination processes is not sustainable unlike the European method. The tea is soaked in a solvent that displaces the caffeine. The problem is that the solvent used is often a chemical, such as, Methylene chloride, and that many of these chemicals are known carcinogens.
If you are looking for many different varieties of tea which are caffeine free it is also a good idea to check out our range of herbal teas, rooibos varieties and fruit infusions. These blends do not contain tea leaves so are perfect if you are trying to cut down your caffeine intake.
