Information:
Most decaffeinated teas in the world are decaffeinated once the tea has been processed or in its ‘made’ stage at special factories in Switzerland and Europe. This particular tea is unique and special in that the decaffeination is done at the tea estate whilst the tea is in the green leaf stage. The benefits are that the tea is processed as normal tea after being decaffeinated resulting in the best decaffeinated tea available anywhere in the world. The tea retains the bright colour and the full-bodied character. It has fooled many professional tea tasters who cannot believe that it is a decaffeinated tea. You will be amazed at the true tea taste.
Other decaffeinated teas, which are processed after the tea has been made tend to have an undesirable character. For instance, CO2 process decaffeinated teas tend to have a fruity character, whereas methyl chloride or ethyl acetate teas tend to have a chemical or medicinal aftertaste. This Irish Breakfast tea has none of these characteristics; rather it tastes like tea should - flavourful and satisfying.
The Nandi Highlands are one of the most pristine locales on the planet. The air is crisp and clean and the climate is cool and wet.
The climate, combined with the high altitude is perfect for teas to thrive and develop in the rich volcanic soil.
Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Pour into your cup and add milk and sugar to taste.
