How is Tea Decaffeinated?
The Republic of Tea offers a splendid array of fine decaffeinated teas. All are naturally decaffeinated using an environmentally friendly carbon dioxide/high-pressure process—free of any commercial chemical extraction.
The tea leaves are lightly soaked and then flushed with odorless, flavorless, harmless carbon dioxide gas. Carbon dioxide-decaffeinated green tea has the added advantage of retaining 90 percent of its polyphenols, the healthful antioxidants abundant in green tea.
