Friendship Organics Decaf Earl Grey Tea Bags, Organic 36-Count — Fair Trade, Bergamot Scented CO2-Decaf

Friendship Organics Decaf Earl Grey is an organic, Fair Trade decaffeinated black tea scented with cold-pressed Italian bergamot oil for a fragrant, low-caffeine cup. Enjoy a classic Earl Grey experience without the stimulating effects of caffeine: this decaffeinated blend pairs high-quality black tea leaves with pure organic bergamot oil to deliver the familiar citrus-floral aroma and smooth taste. The CO2 decaffeination method preserves flavor while removing most caffeine, and the tea comes in plastic-free abacá fiber sachets housed in two sealed paper packs to keep freshness intact.

What makes this Earl Grey naturally aromatic despite being decaffeinated?

The bright citrus scent comes from cold-pressed organic Italian bergamot oil blended with decaffeinated black tea. Because the oil is pure and added after decaffeination, the fragrance and flavor remain vivid without relying on caffeine for perception.

• Cold-pressed organic bergamot oil for authentic aroma
• Decaf leaves blended to retain body and mouthfeel
• Oil added post-decaffeination to preserve scent intensity

How is the caffeine removed and what does that mean for taste?

This tea uses a CO2 decaffeination process, a chemical-free technique that extracts 97–98% of caffeine while keeping much of the tea’s natural flavor compounds. The result is a mellow cup that still delivers the briskness and black-tea backbone characteristic of Earl Grey.

• CO2 method avoids solvent residues and maintains flavor
• Most caffeine removed, leaving trace levels only
• Preserves essential oils and tannin balance for consistent taste

Are the tea bags and packaging environmentally conscious?

Yes—each tea bag is made from natural abacá fiber and the product uses plastic-free materials wherever possible. The Twinpack format places 36 bags into two sealed paper cellophane-free bags to protect freshness while reducing plastic waste.

• Abacá fiber tea bags (plastic-free) for compostable disposal
• Two paper-sealed packs to limit exposure to air
• Minimal plastic in packaging to support lower environmental impact
