Assam Decaf

Light tea but complex flavour low on tannins and very nice with or without milk. No quality deterioration with the decaffeination and no indication of significant residual caffeine.

I have tasted three decaf teas from Shibui now (English Breakfast and Darjeeling) and this is my personal favourite. I prefer a deeply flavoursome tea and therefore the Assam is right up my street. I'll be ordering more.

Really tasty Assam. I use 2 tea spoons per mug and I get a brew that has more flavour than most caffeinated tea bags.

I am really pleased with the decaffeinated Assam tea. Lovely flavour. A pleasure to deal with Shibui Tea.

This is a lovely loose leaf tea that is strong and malty. It is excellent quality leaves and not at all like dust which some other brands can be.

Comparing this to the breakfast decaf this has less of a fruity aroma & a more bolder earthy taste. Usually made with almond & oat blend, I rinsse leaves after bewing and get a 3rd decent cup out of every 2. I use about 2 heaped teaspoons in a standard cup but the 3rd combo brew needs a larger one.

First time with Shibui. Their Assam decaf is excellent. Would never know this is decaf. Full of flavour and smells great. Nothing at all like the floor sweepings in supermarket tea bags. And sweeter and more aromatic than other loose tea retailers. Highly recommended and will restock again.

The item description states "the leaf produces a strong malty cup characteristic of an Assam black". It doesn't. Vague taste of assam at best and I used plenty of leaves.

I was delighted to find I could buy decaffeinated assam tea as I wanted to try to make chai, but I try to avoid caffeine. The tea is delicious!

I have been having Assam for some time and have just started using the Decaf Assam. I find there is very little difference in taste and has the advantage (for us) to be a decaf version. I need to keep the amount of caffeine intake down as much as possible. I would recommend this tea.
