How can this decaf black tea still taste strong without caffeine?

The blend uses carefully selected Assam leaves known for their malty, robust profile. Decaffeination is performed with a carbon dioxide method that preserves aromatic oils and flavor compounds better than many chemical alternatives, so the finished cup stays flavorful and balanced.

• Assam black tea base for body and maltiness
• CO2 decaffeination preserves natural tea oils
• No bitter aftertaste or flattened flavor profile
• Works well with milk or as a plain black infusion
