Thompson's Tea has been blending and packing tea in Belfast since 1896 and is now a fourth generation family business. Their Decaf is built on second flush Assam leaves - the best growth of the year, limited in quantity and commanding a premium price, specifically chosen because they retain more flavour after the decaffeination process than standard Assam. Indian and Kenyan leaves from only the highest quality gardens, gently decaffeinated to preserve as much of the original character as possible. A Great Taste Award winner.
Full-bodied, rich, and satisfying - the kind of decaf that doesn't ask you to compromise. The second flush Assam selection is what sets this apart from most decafs, which rely on lower grade leaves and lose character in the process. Works beautifully with milk. A proper Northern Irish cup, just without the caffeine.
If you enjoy Thompson's Decaf, our Scotch and Abram's Decaf Irish Breakfast is our take on that same full-flavoured decaf cup - using CO2 decaffeination for a completely chemical-free process.
