What Does "de-" Mean?

"de-" is more than just a prefix; it's a philosophyof intentional subtraction. By removing what weighs you down—stress, anxiety, over-stimulation, and caffeine—we create space for clarity, calm, and connection. Through a state-of-the-art CO₂ decaffeination process, we gently extract caffeine without the use of harsh chemicals, preserving the essence of each leaf. Every cup is a quiet invitation to unwind—with purity, peace, and no compromise.

Crafted with Care, From Farm to Cup

We’ve sampled and tested over 100+ high-quality teas from across Asia to curate the rare few that could meet our flavor standards even after decaffeination. The result? A tightly curated tea collection — each selected for its exceptional character, and its ability to shine through our decaffeination process. With our proprietary recipe and gentle CO₂ method, we preserve the original essence of the tea—its fragrance, body, and aftertaste—while reducing caffeine to minimal levels. In a market where most decaf teas taste flat or muted, de- stands apart as a new standard: low in caffeine, rich in soul.

Who's de- Tea For?

Whether it's due to sensitivity or simply a desire for a more relaxing experience, de- is perfect for anyone seeking balance in their cup. It's also a healthier choice for those looking to swap out soda, coffee, or even sparkling water for something healthier and just as flavorful. With de-, there's no compromise — only pure enjoyment in every sip.
