Cornish Tea and Coffee Co. was founded in 2012 with a simple mission - make a great Cornish tea. Their Decaf carries the same bold, full-bodied character as the rest of the range with the caffeine removed using the Swiss Water Method - a completely chemical-free process that soaks the leaves in hot water to dissolve the caffeine, filters it out using carbon, then returns the water to the leaves so the flavor stays intact. Of the decafs we carry, this is the only one using Swiss Water. Barry's, Bewley's, and Birchall use methylene chloride. Clipper uses CO2. If a natural, chemical-free process matters to you, Cornish is the one. Smooth, malty, and satisfying with less than 2mg of caffeine per cup. Plastic free and blended in Cornwall. If you enjoy Cornish Decaf, our Scotch and Abram's Decaf Irish Breakfast is our take on that same full-flavored decaf cup - satisfying any time of day. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength. Add milk if you like. It holds up well. Brews just like a regular black tea. No adjustments needed. How does it compare? Also chemical-free: Clipper Organic Decaf Similar to Barry's Decaf Similar to Birchall Great Rift Decaf Clipper Organic Decaf uses CO2 rather than Swiss Water - both are chemical-free alternatives to methylene chloride, worth comparing if the decaffeination process matters to you. Barry's and Birchall are the closest flavor comparisons if the process is less of a consideration.
