Assam Decaf

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.

Bright, malty and refreshing! - excellent tea for that first cuppa of the day.

Lovely blend of tea

Really lovely tea.

Plenty of body and flavour.

Decided to try this as I am having problems with caffeine. Unfortunately the resulting tea, despite being generous with the amount used, was weak and very much lacking in flavour. I suppose you could use a lot more but then instead of having a decaf assam that is twice as expensive as ordinary assam you would then be paying 3-4 times as much.
