Organic South Indian Decaf Black Tea (Loose Leaf)

The loose-leaf version of our full-flavored decaf black tea: organic, single-origin from a single estate in South India, grown at 7,000 feet in Tamil Nadu. Powerful and tannic with a strong body and warm, nutty pecan notes, in whole-leaf form for tea-pot brewing.

Organic · Vegan · Non-GMO · Sugar-Free · Gluten-Free · Very Low Caffeine (under 5mg per cup)

Why we like it

• Single-origin from Biketti estate in Tamil Nadu, India, at 7,000ft elevation; high-altitude tea has more developed flavor
• Decaffeinated using a non-toxic CO2 process that strips 97% of the caffeine while preserving the flavor; no chemicals, no bitterness
• Whole-leaf form lets the tea unfurl freely; reinfuses 1-2 times with a slightly different cup each steep
