INFORMATION:
It has long been rumored that the Queen of England insisted on drinking only decaffeinated teas past noon. And it could well be true, since drinking decaf allows those who are caffeine sensitive to reap all the health benefits of tea without getting the jitters. Tea, proper tea that is, produced from Camellia Sinensis, naturally contains polyphenols and antioxidants for an added boost of wellness to enhance an already delicious drink. The problem for many years was that decaffeinated teas were sub-par in flavor. At the factory level, finished tea underwent a chemical-based decaffeination process that stripped the caffeine and with it many of the natural healthy compounds found in the untreated leaf.
Weâre pleased to have had a hand in changing this dismal situation by introducing the 'Canadian Chemical Free CO2 Process' into the market. This process, developed in partnership with overseas tea manufacturers and Canadian food scientists, removes caffeine without using chemicals of any sort. Instead, finished tea is briefly soaked in exceptionally pure water and gently flushed with CO2. The CO2 binds to the caffeine molecules and extracts them from the tea leaving behind all the natural proteins that give tea its flavor. It also leaves many of the polyphenols and antioxidants intact.
For a decaf, the cup is decidedly self-assured with lovely floral notes, medium body, balanced astringency, and long finish. A wonderful all-day breakfast tea that opens wonderfully with milk.
