Is there an organic, decaffeinated, black, loose-leaf Indian tea, that is
strong yet not acidic? The my favorite is FOP India from Choice Organics, but sadly, it is caffeinated. When I was back in England in 2002, I found a good Typhoo decaffeinated tea, but that wasn't organic. Age has taken its toll. No tea drinking for me in the afternoon. Does the sort of tea I am looking for exist, or am I just a dreamer? |

These might offer solace. Begin drinking with the second or third steep, and be willing to risk a possible sleepless night until you get the formula exactly right. You are right to stay away from tippy. Dog Ma informed us that the tenderest young shoots are the carriers of the highest concentration of caffeine.

I'll snap out of it soon. I don't recall being impressed by Darjeeling, and its been a long time since I had any. It seemed weak to me. But what if I bung in six heaping teaspoons of Darjeeling, as I do with my morning Black Indian FOP, will I have defeated the object of limiting my caffeine intake? The Missus and I only drink it in the morning or else we spend the night staring at the bedroom ceiling. We go through a 2lb bag of lose black tea in about three weeks. I like your economical re-steeping idea. You get your money's worth on this board. Here is the blurb from Choice Organics: Darjeeling* - True, unblended organic Darjeeling, one of the world's premier varietals. The late spring harvest yields a bright, full flavor with a fruity aroma. A perfect afternoon tea [low caffeine I assume.] Ah! I have just had a communiqué from the Missus, in the other room. She likes Darjeeling. I can see I am going to have to give it another chance. Christopher |

Plug "co2 darjeeling" into the Google web search engine. You'll get
your share of false positives but also sites that sell decaffeinated darjeeling. Change darjeeling to assam,nilgiri etc for specific tea. Co2 is the most used process to remove caffeine from tea leaving the tea 'goodies' intact.
