The story
The 9pm cup you actually want
Most decaf black teas taste like an apology. Thin, a bit flat, and you find yourself wondering why you bothered. This one is different. It is proper English Breakfast — malty, medium-bodied, with soft floral notes and enough structure to stand up to milk. The decaffeination process is gentler than older methods, which means the leaf keeps more of its character.
This brews a good coppery colour with a brisk finish that lingers. There is balanced astringency rather than harshness, and the cup stays clean even when you let it steep a little longer. You would be hard pressed to spot it as decaf in a blind taste.
This is the tea for people who have switched to decaf but refuse to give up flavour. Late evening with a book. Early morning when you have already had three cups and should probably stop. A proper brew whenever the mood strikes, without watching the clock.
How to brew it
Brew it like you mean it
02With milk
- Amount
- 1 heaped teaspoon
- Water
- 100°C
- Time
- 3–4 minutes
A splash of milk rounds it out nicely; steep a bit longer to hold up to dairy.
03Iced
- Amount
- 2 teaspoons per 250ml
- Water
- Cold, filtered
- Time
- 8–12 hours in the fridge
Cold brew overnight for a smooth, malty iced tea without bitterness.
Shop tip: Use freshly boiled water. Reboiled water loses oxygen and can leave the cup tasting flat.

Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
Is this tea completely caffeine-free?
No. Decaffeinated means most of the caffeine has been removed, but a trace remains. If you need strictly zero caffeine, a herbal or rooibos tea would be a better choice.
Can I add milk?
Absolutely. A splash of milk works beautifully and brings out the malty, comforting side of this tea. It is blended to hold its own brewed strong.
How many cups will I get from a pouch?
Using roughly one teaspoon (2.5g) per cup, the 50g pouch makes about 20 cups. The 250g pouch gives you around 100 cups, plenty to keep the kettle busy.
How should I store it?
Keep the pouch sealed and store it somewhere cool, dry and away from sunlight or strong aromas. A cupboard away from the hob is ideal.
Does it taste like normal English Breakfast?
Very close. It has the same malty body, brisk finish and coppery colour. Most people cannot tell the difference without being told it is decaf.
