The story
The decaf that kept its character
Most decaf green teas taste like they have been through something. The caffeine comes out, and somewhere along the way so does everything else — the freshness, the vegetal bite, that gentle sweetness you get from a well-made sencha. You end up with something drinkable but a bit flat.
This one uses CO₂ decaffeination, which is gentler than the older chemical methods. The leaves get briefly soaked in pure water and flushed with pressurised carbon dioxide, which binds to the caffeine and lifts it away. The proteins that carry flavour stay put, and so do many of the compounds that give green tea its character.
The result brews pale and clean, with grassy freshness and a smooth finish. It is not quite as bright as a full-caffeine sencha, but it is close enough that you will not feel you are settling. Good for that second or third cup when you still want the taste and the ritual, just not the late-night staring at the ceiling.

Shop tip: Let freshly boiled water sit for two or three minutes before pouring. Sencha is sensitive to heat and will punish you with bitterness if you rush it.

Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
Is this completely caffeine-free?
No. It is decaffeinated, not caffeine-free. The CO₂ process removes most of the caffeine, but a small trace remains. If you need zero caffeine, this is not the one for you.
Can I add milk?
We would not recommend it. Sencha is light and vegetal, and milk tends to muddy those fresh green notes. Best enjoyed plain.
How many cups will I get from 50g?
At about 2.5g per cup, a 50g pouch gives you roughly 20 cups. The larger sizes work out cheaper per cup if you drink it regularly.
Why does the water temperature matter so much?
Green tea leaves release bitter compounds when they meet boiling water. Keeping the temperature around 80°C draws out the sweetness and freshness without the harshness.
How should I store it?
Keep it sealed, cool and dry, away from heat, sunlight and strong smells. A cupboard away from the hob is ideal. It will stay fresh for several months if stored well.
