What makes our decaf tea special? We
only use top quality teas but more importantly our process is free of
chemicals. We have the tea decaffeinated in it's green leaf stage. The
tea tastes better and does not have residual chemicals
We used Courtlodge estate for this estate decaff for several reasons: Courtlodge gives us the character we are looking for - a flavoury and satisfying tea; Courtlodge is one of the top Ceylon tea estates for quality; we have visited Courtlodge and confirmed that they undertake proper manufacturing techniques, keep plucking standards high, and reinvest in the estate and its personnel; but most importantly we have found that Courtlodge estate tea retains it’s character under Co2 decaffeination processes much better than other teas we have tested.
Typically quality of the tea is judged by hundreds of the tea tasters around the world. On a weekly basis raucous lively auctions are held in various producing countries where world prices are set. Tasters are looking for similar characteristics, so in the matter of a few seconds the value of the tea is established according to supply and demand functions and quality gradients.
