Courtlodge Decaffeinated Estate Flowery Pekoe Black Tea

This flavorful, satisfying decaffeinated tea is from the Courtlodge Estate in the Nuwara Elya region of Sri Lanka, one of the top Ceylon tea estates for quality. The FP leaf style retains its quality during the decaffeination process, resulting in a tea that tends bright with coppery notes.

We thoroughly scrutinize our decaffeinated teas to ensure that they stand up to our quality specifications. All of our decaffs are processed using the Canadian Co2 Process. The advantage of this decaffeination process is that no chemical solvents are used to remove the caffeine. Also, using the naturally occurring Co2 in a circulation process, which carefully uses high pressure and temperature to extract the caffeine, the origin distinct character of the tea is retained in the cup. There is a slight change in the character of the tea due to the process but the end result is an uncompromising cup of tea with no chemical overtones. We used Courtlodge estate for this estate decaf because Courtlodge gives us the character we are looking for – A flavorful and satisfying tea;
