Decaf Jasmine Black Tea

Decaf Jasmine Black Tea combines the comfort of a decaf Black Tea base with Jasmine blossom perfume for a cup that's elegant and calming - perfect for any hour.

Most of the caffeine is removed by decaffeination of the leaf using a food safe process -  while retaining the mild malt and clean structure of the tea.

The jasmine character can be derived from traditional scenting - layers of fresh blossoms with the finished tea so the leaf takes the aroma - or blending petals with natural jasmine flavour; It results in a layered profile with florals that lift instead of overwhelm.

The cup is clear amber liquor, soft honeyed sweetness with a floral finish that stays smooth just off the boil. It's a relaxing drink to sip after dinner if served hot; Served over ice, it becomes a light, fragrant cooler that rarely needs sugar added.

It's decaf so it works for caffeine-sensitive drinkers or late-night tea moments - without compromising aroma or body. It's also versatile: Nice neat, with a little milk for roundness or as the base of jasmine milk tea - a delicate base. Those of you who like your florals structured - not syrupy, not grassy - will appreciate this easygoing everyday pick.
