Decaf Courtlodge

Black Tea by Britannia Teas and Gifts

Courtlodge is one of the top Ceylon estates. Decafeinated using the CO2 method. This is a flavourful and satisfying tea with bright coppery notes.

Decaf black tea is often terrible. But caffeine keeps me awake, and I can’t get my favourite tisane, so, depserate, I thought I’d try this one.

Not bad. I’ve tasted far worse. It does retain body and taste of a good Ceylon, but it still has that bitter, almost burnt harshness that I’ve detected on every decaf black tea I’ve ever tried. Still, good enough to enjoy as a bedtime cuppa. I wouldn’t bother with it during the day, though.
