Scotch and Abram's Decaf English Breakfast uses CO2 decaffeination - the cleanest method available, using pressurised carbon dioxide rather than chemical solvents to gently lift the caffeine from the leaves while leaving the natural flavours and oils intact. Flowery Pekoe grade leaves, medium bodied, rich, and comforting in the cup. The CO2 method is what sets both our decafs apart from most of the competition. Barry's, Bewley's, and Birchall all use methylene chloride. Clipper uses CO2 too - it's the method that preserves the most flavour and leaves no chemical residue. If you care how your decaf is made, this is the answer. A satisfying everyday cup with none of the compromise. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Use one heaped teaspoon per cup. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength. Add milk if you like. Brews just like a regular black tea. How does it compare? Bolder: Scotch and Abram's Decaf Irish Breakfast Also CO2: Clipper Organic Decaf Similar to Barry's Decaf Scotch and Abram's Decaf Irish Breakfast is the bolder option from the same range if you want more strength. Clipper Organic Decaf also uses CO2 decaffeination and is worth comparing - both are the cleaner decaf choice. Barry's Decaf is the closest Irish comparison using methylene chloride for a different take on everyday decaf.
