Decaf English Breakfast Tea offers the same bold and malty flavour as traditional English Breakfast tea but without the caffeine. Whether you’re looking for a soothing evening brew or simply prefer a low-caffeine option, decaf breakfast tea is a perfect choice. At Newby London, we take great care in the decaffeination process to ensure that every cup maintains its rich taste and quality while aligning with our commitment to sustainable and ethical practices.

What is Decaf English Breakfast Tea?

Decaf English Breakfast Tea is a carefully crafted blend designed for those who love the bold and robust flavour of traditional English Breakfast tea but prefer a caffeine-free option. This tea retains the rich taste and comforting aroma of its caffeinated counterpart while undergoing a natural decaffeination process to remove most of the caffeine content.

Sourced from the finest tea gardens, decaf breakfast tea offers a smooth, well-balanced flavour that pairs beautifully with milk or can be enjoyed on its own. It is perfect for tea lovers who want to enjoy their favourite beverage without the stimulating effects of caffeine, making it ideal for late-night sipping or those with caffeine sensitivities.

Decaffeination Process of English Breakfast Tea

The decaffeination process is a delicate procedure designed to preserve the natural flavours and integrity of the tea while effectively reducing its caffeine content. At Newby London, we ensure that our decaf English Breakfast Tea maintains its premium quality through an ethical and environmentally friendly approach.

Step 1: Ethical Sourcing of Tea Leaves

Our journey begins with the ethical sourcing of the finest tea leaves by only purchase and bids on tea estates that are certified by Rainforest Alliance or Fairtrade. As a proud member of the Ethical Tea Partnership, we are committed to ethical sourcing and outstanding quality. By carefully selecting high-quality tea leaves, we ensure that every cup of decaffeinated breakfast tea retains the rich and full-bodied character expected from an English Breakfast blend.

Step 2: The Decaffeination Process

The caffeine is removed using a safe and natural method that preserves the black tea’s flavour and health benefits. The most widely used processes include:

• Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Method: This process uses pressurised CO2 to extract caffeine while preserving the tea’s natural compounds, resulting in a flavourful and aromatic cup. By carefully controlling pressure and temperature, the CO2 method ensures minimal loss of flavour and colour, making it one of the best techniques for maintaining the tea’s quality. Additionally, carbon dioxide is a natural component of the air and physiologically harmless. It protects the tea from oxidation and prevents the occurrence of any aftertaste.

• Water Processing: A gentle approach where water is used to extract caffeine without the use of chemical solvents, ensuring a clean and pure decaf process.

Newby prioritises methods that uphold the integrity of our tea, ensuring that our decaf breakfast tea remains delicious and of the highest quality.

Step 3: Blending and Flavour Preservation

Once the tea is decaffeinated, our expert blenders carefully refine the flavour profile to ensure consistency and richness. This step is crucial to maintaining the bold and malty character that English Breakfast tea is known for. By expertly blending the leaves, we ensure a smooth and balanced taste, making it nearly indistinguishable from traditional English Breakfast tea.

Step 4: Quality Testing and Packaging

At Newby, we take quality control seriously. Every batch of our decaffeinated English Breakfast tea undergoes rigorous testing at multiple stages. Our teas are certified by Eurofins and tested for over 600 contaminants to exceed EU food safety standards. Additionally, we are the only tea brand that tests all our teas for fluoride content, ensuring they are safe for daily consumption.

Our packaging is designed to preserve the freshness and flavour of our tea while being environmentally responsible. We use biodegradable and home-compostable materials, aligning with our commitment to sustainability. Our silken pyramid tea bags are made from corn starch and are 100% plastic-free, ensuring a guilt-free tea experience.
