I would like to hear people's recommendations for decaf black teas (assams,
ceylons, etc.). I am currently drinking Upton's decaf black (the English
Breakfast actually) when I have to, and it's...acceptable (not nearly as bad
as some gnarly tasting stuff I got from a local store) but decaf can all too
easily slip into that "funny-tasting" realm. So is anyone out there an
expert?

I realize there are different ways to decaf and I look for the CO2 decaf
teas, also I know one can decaf by doing a presteep but it hardly seems to
work with a black tea, especially a BOP or something. Black teas tend to not
have as much mileage in them (good darjeelings excepted, but they I don't
usually drink those with milk and sugar).

This is just for the evenings when I want a black tea but can't do the
caffeine.
