How decaf is decaf? In other words, do you really need to get it all
out, or can you tolerate a little?

The reason why I ask is, Pu'er, more than most other teas, tends to
taste better in later steeps than in the first one or two. Really
great Pu'ers, in fact, often don't reach their peak until maybe five
or even more steeps. I don't have firm numbers for you, but there
couldn't be a lot of caffeine left at this point.
