Decaffeinated Teas

All of our Metropolitan decaffeinated loose teas use the natural CO2 - Carbon Dioxide method of decaffeination. This process is considered to be the safest and the most preserving of the tea's delicate flavours. During decaffeination, pressurized liquid carbon dioxide is used to attract the small caffeine molecules out of the tea leaves, leaving behind the larger molecules which are responsible for the tea's flavour.
