TRYVERA Decaffeinated Oolong Tea Loose Leaf 3.5 oz — Full Oolong Flavor, CO2-Decaf, 40+ Cups

TRYVERA Decaffeinated Oolong Loose Leaf is a semi-fermented tea offering full oolong flavor without caffeine—ideal for hot cups, refreshing iced tea, or home-brewed kombucha.

Grown and hand-selected from quality oolong fields, this 3.5 oz pouch yields roughly 40+ servings of aromatic, nuanced tea that keeps its taste after a gentle CO2 decaffeination. The leaves undergo minimal processing to preserve delicate floral and toasted notes, giving you the layered character of oolong while removing most caffeine. Use it for calming evenings, daytime sipping, or as a base for kombucha where you want complexity without stimulation.

How does TRYVERA decaf oolong taste and smell?

The tea delivers the classic oolong spectrum—soft floral top notes, a light roasted undertone, and a smooth, rounded finish without the grassy edge of green teas or the astringency of black teas. Aroma is mild and inviting, with faint toasted and honeyed hints that open as the leaves unfurl. Even after decaffeination, the essential flavor profile remains noticeable and balanced.

• Floral and toasted aroma with subtle sweetness
• Low astringency and smooth mouthfeel
• Maintains layered oolong character post-decaffeination

What brewing methods work best for this loose leaf oolong?

TRYVERA decaf oolong is versatile: it steeps cleanly for hot cups, chills quickly for iced tea, and ferments well as a kombucha base. Use slightly cooler water than boiling and shorter steep times for a balanced cup; re-steeping the same leaves releases more nuance. For kombucha, treat the tea as you would any quality black or oolong base to achieve lively fermentation and depth of flavor.

• Hot brew: 185–200°F (85–93°C) for 2–4 minutes
• Iced tea: double-strength brew, pour over ice to chill
• Kombucha: brew as a base, cool fully before adding starter culture
• Re-steeps: leaves can be steeped 2–3 times for evolving flavors

How is the tea decaffeinated and does that affect quality?

This oolong is decaffeinated using pressurized carbon dioxide, a targeted method that extracts caffeine without stripping most flavor compounds. Because the process focuses on caffeine molecules, aromatic oils and polyphenols remain largely intact, preserving the tea’s body and subtle notes. The result is a low-caffeine cup that still reflects true oolong complexity.

• CO2 method removes caffeine while protecting flavor
• Retains antioxidants and important taste components
• Leaves maintain structure and re-steepability

How long does the 3.5 oz pouch last and how should I store it?

A 3.5 oz bag yields approximately 40 or more standard servings, depending on how strong you brew. To maximize freshness, keep the tea sealed in a cool, dry place away from light and strong odors; an airtight container is best after opening. Proper storage preserves aroma and allows multiple good re-steeps from each measuring of leaves.

• Approx. 40+ cups per 3.5 oz pouch
• Store sealed, in a cool, dark, dry spot
• Use within months of opening for peak flavor

Who is this for: TRYVERA Decaffeinated Oolong is designed for tea lovers who want authentic oolong flavor without caffeine—perfect for evening drinkers, those sensitive to stimulants, parents who still want refined tea options, or kombucha brewers seeking a nuanced base. It also suits anyone looking to explore semi-fermented teas with a gentler profile than green or black varieties.
