Decaf Blueberry Black Tea

$13.00

Decaf Blueberry Black Tea has a soft, familiar base of decaffeinated black-tea with a hint of ripe Blueberry for a bright, friendly cup at any hour. 

The leaf is decaffeinated with food-safe CO2 to remove most caffeine without losing body and gentle malt.

That gives blueberry notes room to shine without going syrupy sweet. The liquor is a clear amber when brewed hot; aromas of blueberry jam and soft honey over clean tea; It makes a fruity cooler that rarely needs sugar iced.

This is a versatile "anytime" tea: Relaxed enough for evenings, lively enough for afternoon breaks and a hit with pitchers at picnics.

If you like your black tea light and without the buzz - this blend is balanced, aromatic and tidy - no heaviness, no fuss - and reliably delicious whether brewed Western-style in a mug or cold-steeped overnight for summer.
