INFORMATION:
All of our decafs are processed using the Co2 Process. The advantage of this decaffeination process is that no chemical solvents are used to remove the caffeine. Also, using the naturally occurring Co2 in a circulation process, which carefully uses high pressure and temperature to extract the caffeine, the origin distinct character of the tea is retained in the cup. There is a slight change in the character of the tea due to the process but the end result is an uncompromising cup of tea with no chemical overtones.
Courtlodge gives us the character we are looking for - a flavoury and satisfying tea; Courtlodge is one of the top Ceylon tea estates for quality, but most importantly we have found that Courtlodge estate tea retains it's character under Co2 decaffeination processes much better than other teas we have tested.
