Decaf Ceylon

Description

Black tea from Ceylon, decaffeinated using a superior CO-2 process. The latter is all natural and gentle, allowing tea leaves retain their delicate shape and flavor. Ceylon is Sri Lanka's colonial name, and the tea that grows here continued to be called this.

Story

The tiny island of Sri Lanka is the world's third largest producer of tea, due in part to the fact that tea can be harvested year-round here. The island is blessed with perfect trade winds and striking geography, creating unique micro-climates favorable to tea production. Tea flavor is very much tied to the altitude where it grows here: low, medium or high, each with its own sought-after character. Low-grown teas are hearty, tangy and very rich in mouthfeel. High-grown teas are much lighter bodied, but are more aromatic and sweet. Mid-grown are a combination of the two, depending on exact conditions. Medium to full body with noticeable unique aromatics.

"This is my standard breakfast tea, especially good with homemade bagels. I add a dash of sugar and a little milk or half"

"Nothing too exciting, but good. Tastes the same as the caffeinated version."

"Can't go to bed without a cup of this wonderful, smooth, and delicious tea first. I was so surprised when I first tried it. I never had such a delicious cup of decaf tea before. "

"This is ok. Not my favorite. I use it as a base to mix other flavors. A bit of that 'hay dust' smell to it that I'm not terribly fond of, but it's neutral enough to mix well with others."
