The story
The same bergamot, fewer late nights
Earl Grey gets its character from bergamot, a citrus fruit grown mostly in southern Italy. The oil is cold-pressed from the peel and used to scent the tea leaves. This decaffeinated version keeps that bright, fragrant lift on a base of Ceylon black tea that has had most of its caffeine removed.
Decaffeinated is not the same as caffeine-free. A small trace can remain, so this is a lower-caffeine cup rather than a zero-caffeine one. If you need something completely without caffeine, Earl Grey Rooibos is a better option. But if you simply want to enjoy Earl Grey after lunch without the jitters, this will do the job.
The cup brews to a warm amber, with citrus on the nose and a smooth, slightly malty body underneath. A scattering of cornflower petals adds a gentle floral note. It takes milk if you want it, though most people drink it plain to let the bergamot come through.

Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
Is decaf Earl Grey completely caffeine-free?
No. Decaffeinated tea still contains a trace of caffeine. If you need a fully caffeine-free cup, Earl Grey Rooibos is a better option as it is made from naturally caffeine-free rooibos.
Does this taste the same as regular Earl Grey?
Very close. The bergamot is the same, and the Ceylon base brews smooth and clean. Some people find decaf teas slightly lighter in body, but the citrus character comes through clearly.
Should I add milk?
It is optional. Most Earl Grey drinkers take it plain so the bergamot shines through, but a small splash of milk works if that is how you like it.
How many cups will I get from 100g?
At roughly 2.5g per cup, a 100g pouch makes about 40 cups.
How should I store it?
Keep the pouch sealed in a cool, dry, dark place away from coffee, spices or anything with a strong smell. Tea absorbs odours easily.

Who it suits
Choose it if you enjoy Earl Grey aroma but want less caffeine than the regular black-tea version. If you need a naturally caffeine-free cup, Earl Grey Rooibos is the clearer alternative.
