Frontier Co-op Ceylon Decaf Broken Orange Pekoe Tea — 1 lb Bulk Bag, CO2 Decaffeinated, Kosher

Frontier Co-op Ceylon (Broken Orange Pekoe) CO2 Decaf is a kosher, 1 lb bulk bag of medium‑strong Ceylon black tea decaffeinated using CO2, offering bold flavor and versatile brewing options.

Harvested from Sri Lanka (historically called Ceylon), this decaffeinated black tea is graded Broken Orange Pekoe (BOP), indicating shorter, robust leaves that steep into a brisk, flavorful cup. Frontier Co-op decaffeinates using CO2 extraction to reduce caffeine while preserving more of the tea's natural aroma than many solvent-based methods. Packaged in a one‑pound bulk bag, this product is designed for frequent tea drinkers, cafes, and anyone wanting a reliable decaf black tea in larger quantities.

How will this decaf Ceylon tea taste brewed?

Expect a medium‑to‑full black tea profile with bright, brisk notes and a mild floral underpinning. The CO2 decaffeination retains much of the original character, so you still get the tannic backbone and clear cup color typical of Ceylon tea.

• Flavor: bold, brisk, slightly astringent with floral hints
• Strength: medium‑strong when brewed with recommended proportions
• Aroma: clean, rounded black tea scent preserved by CO2 process

What’s the best way to brew this Broken Orange Pekoe decaf?

Simple steeping yields consistent results: use freshly boiled water cooled slightly, one teaspoon per 6 ounces, steep five minutes for a balanced cup. Customize with lemon, orange, milk, or a touch of sweetener depending on preference; the tea holds up well to additions.

• Ratio: 1 teaspoon per 6 oz (adjust to taste)
• Temperature/time: near‑boil water, steep ~5 minutes
• Pairings: citrus, milk, honey, or traditional tea‑time snacks

Why choose CO2 decaffeination and what does kosher certification mean here?

CO2 decaffeination uses pressurized carbon dioxide to extract caffeine, which tends to preserve more volatile flavor compounds than some chemical methods. Kosher certification indicates the product and processing meet recognized kosher standards for supervision and handling.

• CO2 method: gentle on flavor, avoids solvent residues
• Quality: retains characteristic Ceylon aroma and mouthfeel
• Kosher: certified for consumers who follow kosher dietary rules

How is this bulk packaging practical for home or commercial use?

The one‑pound bulk bag provides cost‑effective supply and reduces frequent repurchasing, ideal for daily drinkers, offices, or food service. The packaging is suitable for scooping into smaller containers or tea tins for portioned storage.

• Size: 1 lb bag for extended use or high turnover
• Storage tips: keep cool, dry, and sealed to maintain freshness
• Use cases: home, office, café, catering, or tea blending
