Caffeine
Each 8 oz cup of our Low Caffeine Tea contains roughly 10 mg of caffeine—about one‑quarter the caffeine of a typical green tea (≈40 mg) and one‑tenth that of an average brewed coffee (≈95 mg). Because it stays under 20 mg per serving, most people report enjoying an evening cup without disrupting sleep⁎, making it perfect for a calm, late‑day ritual.
Note: Caffeine sensitivity varies by individual. If you're particularly sensitive, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider.

No, even decaffeinated tea isn't completely caffeine-free. While most of the caffeine is removed, trace amounts can remain—often up to 10 mg per cup. For context, a typical cup of regular tea contains about 50–60 mg of caffeine. At de-, our low-caffeine teas are decaffeinated to contain just about 1/4 the caffeine of a standard tea, and significantly lower than coffee or soda. It's a better balance for those seeking peace of mind in their evening routine.
Taste
It can—but not with us. Many decaf teas lose their natural flavor during processing. At de-, we use a supercritical CO₂ decaffeination method, which is known for retaining the highest level of original aroma, complexity, and depth. Our proprietary recipe is carefully optimized for each tea variety, allowing us to remove caffeine while preserving the tea's true character. The result? A rich, satisfying cup that tastes like real tea—because it is.
Properly stored, our tea retains peak freshness for 12 months. After that, it's still safe—but flavor may gradually mellow.
Each of our premium tea bags delivers 1–3 infusions. Because we use carefully selected tea leaves, each steeping reveals new layers of flavor. We recommend brewing at least twice—first for a bright, nuanced cup, then again to discover the deeper, lingering notes that make de- tea truly exceptional.
Health & Safety
Not with our process. Some decaffeination methods rely on chemical solvents, which may leave residues or raise health concerns. At de-, we use a natural, chemical-free CO₂ extraction process—a method recognized as safe, clean, and food-grade. It leaves no residues behind and maintains the tea's purity, so you can sip with confidence any time of day.
Our sachets are woven from plant-based corn fiber—100% biodegradable and compostable back to earth.
Store your tea in a cool, dry place away from light, moisture, and strong odors. An airtight container is best.
