caffeine free tea

what is caffeine free tea or decaf tea?

when you want to enjoy your tea routine but not deal with jumpy feeling from caffeine, decaf or caffeine free teas save the day as practical alternatives. these options let you relish the taste of tea without the side-effects.

decaffeinated teas or decaf teas are regular teas that go through a special process to remove or tone down the caffeine content. the goal is to keep the taste and discard as much caffeine as possible. this caffeine makeover is done with organic solvents, carbon dioxide or the swiss water process.

removing caffeine from tea is a game-changer for tea enthusiasts. it allows you to enjoy the rich taste of tea without dealing with potential caffeine side effects such as insomnia or a faster heart rate.

while decaffeinated teas aren't entirely without caffeine, herbal teas (or tisanes) are the real caffeine-free options. these teas are sourced directly from plants without any caffeine content, like chamomile, peppermint or rooibos. so, no extra processing is needed – they're naturally caffeine-free.

types of caffeine free tea:

when we talk about caffeine-free, we're stepping away from the camellia sinensis family, the plant that brings us regular tea with caffeine. instead, we focus on a diverse lineup of flowers, leaves, roots, spices and fruits all over the world. let’s see some types of caffeine free tea based on their sources:
  • flowers: herbal teas, like chamomile, hibiscus, lavender, are made using flowers and offer a calming and soothing floral experience.
  • leaves and stalks: these help you make a refreshing drink, like peppermint tea and lemongrass tea.
  • roots: they have unique flavours – ginger root tea has a warm and spicy flavour while liquorice root tea has a sweet and soothing taste.
  • spices: herbal teas made from spices bring a lively variety. cinnamon tea has warmth, turmeric tea is slightly spicy and cardamom tea provides a fragrant and slightly sweet flavours.
  • fruits: these teas have a sweet and fruity flavours and are usually combined with spices or other ingredients to make a balanced drink. apple-cinnamon tea is one such option.

    How is tea decaffeinated?

    Interestingly, tea leaves has caffeine. This means for a tea to be decaffeinated, the caffeine needs to be removed. There are four different decaffeination methods used:
    1. Carbon dioxide - the most natural decaffeination method used. High pressure and high temps are used on tea leaves until the carbon dioxide gets to a certain state. The carbon dioxide turns into a solvent and extracts the caffeine. 
    2. Water processing - the tea leaves are soaked in hot water then it is placed through a carbon filter which removes the caffeine molecules. The water is then added back to the leaves. 
    3. Methylene chloride - the tea leaves are soaked in a chemical solvent called methylene chloride. The chemical is taken out which also takes out the caffeine.
    4. Ethyl acetate - the soaking of tea leaves is done this time in ethyl acetate. This is  a chemical that naturally contained in tea leaves. The chemical and caffeine is removed.
      There you have it - a bit of a science lesson for you.

      difference between loose leaf tea and teabags

      hassle-free tea


            Tea bags emerge as the ultimate choice for a hassle-free cup of tea, catering to those seeking a quick tea-fix without any extra effort. However, brewing loose tea demands a bit more effort, which might not be everyone's preference. Treat yourself to a seamless tea experience with our thoughtfully crafted caffeine-free tea bags, offering the same delightful flavours and rich aromas as loose tea, but without the fuss.

            whole leaves

            Leaf quality plays a pivotal role in crafting a tasty brew. Loose tea stands out with its superiority, boasting high quality leaves that guarantee an exceptional taste. On the other hand, ordinary tea bags commonly feature tea dust, potentially compromising the overall flavour. However, at teapigs, each tea bag is meticulously filled with only whole tea leaves or larger broken leaves – the finest caffeine free tea.

            brewing excellence

            Unlocking the true potential of loose tea lies in its ability to expand fully during the brewing process, granting a robust and fulfilling flavour profile. However, achieving the same level of brewing excellence with regular herbal tea bags might prove challenging. However, our tea temples generously accommodate the tea leaves, allowing them to infuse properly.
            how should caffeine free tea bags be brewed?
            Relax with our great range of caffeine free tea bags. To make the perfect cup of caffeine tea tea, follow the below steps:

You can do this by putting tea bags in a large jug and adding filtered water.  Let the tea bags sit for 10 minutes then remove the tea bags. Add lemon slices or honey to sweeten. Our caffeine free tea can be enjoyed any time of the day.

            faqs on caffeine free tea

            q. Is there a 100% caffeine-free tea?

            a. Yes, herbal teas such as chamomile, peppermint, rooibos and rhubarb & ginger are 100% caffeine-free. They come from plants that never contain caffeine, so no processing is needed to remove it. Decaffeinated tea, by contrast, may still contain small traces.

            q. Is decaf tea completely caffeine-free?

            a. No, decaf tea isn't completely caffeine-free. The decaffeination process removes most of the caffeine but usually leaves small traces behind. For a truly zero-caffeine cup, herbal teas are the reliable choice.

            q. How is tea decaffeinated?

            a. Tea is decaffeinated using one of four main methods: carbon dioxide, water processing (such as the Swiss Water process), methylene chloride, or ethyl acetate. Each soaks or treats the leaves to draw out caffeine while aiming to preserve flavour. Carbon dioxide and water processing are the most natural of the four.

            q. What plants are caffeine-free teas made from?

            a. Caffeine-free teas are made from flowers, leaves, roots, spices and fruits rather than the Camellia sinensis tea plant. Examples include chamomile and hibiscus (flowers), peppermint and lemongrass (leaves), ginger and liquorice (roots), cinnamon (spice) and apple (fruit). This variety is why caffeine-free blends span such a wide range of flavours.

            q. Which teas are naturally caffeine-free?

            a. Herbal teas and rooibos blends are naturally caffeine-free, including chamomile, peppermint, hibiscus, lemongrass, honeybush & rooibos and lavender blends. Because none of these come from the tea plant, they contain no caffeine and require no decaffeination step. teapigs' caffeine-free range covers fruit fusions, rooibos and single-ingredient herbals.

            q. Can you drink caffeine-free tea at night?

            a. Yes, you can enjoy caffeine-free tea at any time of day, including the evening, because it contains no caffeine. Blends like chamomile and lavender are popular choices later in the day, while fruit and rooibos blends suit those who prefer something brighter. It comes down to the flavour you're after.

            q. How do you brew caffeine-free tea bags?

            a. Brew caffeine-free tea bags by pouring freshly boiled water over one bag and steeping for 3–4 minutes, then removing the bag. Use fresh, cold water brought to the boil for the best flavour. teapigs' roomy mesh temples give whole ingredients space to infuse fully.

            q. Can caffeine-free tea be made into iced tea?

            a. Yes, many caffeine-free blends work well as iced tea. Add the tea bags to a large jug of filtered water, let them sit for around 10 minutes, then add lemon slices or a little sweetener. teapigs blends like liquorice & mint, lemon & ginger and super fruit are well suited to this.

            q. Can you brew decaf tea bags more than once?

            a. Yes, you can brew decaf tea bags more than once, though the flavour gets lighter with each steep. Once the brew turns faint or clear, stop. This works the same way as with regular tea.

            q. Is rooibos tea caffeine-free?

            a. Yes, rooibos is naturally caffeine-free. It comes from a South African plant that isn't related to the Camellia sinensis tea plant, so it contains no caffeine. teapigs' honeybush & rooibos blend is one caffeine-free option in the range.
