After enjoying the regular British Breakfast tea, I wanted the decaf to enjoy in the evenings. Unfortunately, the decaf has no flavor and is very weak. I have steeped for 5+ minutes with no improvement. I don’t add milk or sugar, so that isn’t to blame. I will have to try adding multiple bags to my cup, but that seems a waste. Disappointed overall considering how much I enjoy their other teas.
I wish this tea was a little lighter. I don’t like my black tea to be full bodied.
We only drink Republic of Tea , tea, so you have to know each flavor is great. I alternate between drinking decaf and regular, I highly recommend the British Breakfast tea.
Black tea is my favorite and my body prefers decaf, especially after 3pm! This tea hits the spot any time of day!
Have bought this tea several times & enjoy it.. find it a little weak as it is a decaf so I sometimes use 2 bags for a big cup of tea!
great shipping great tea!
it’s hard to find a decaf that i really like and i like this!
I love my tea strong (and sweet) and this black decaf brings a bold flavor that starts my day.
I purchased this for my son. He loves tea but can’t tolerate caffeine. He enjoyed the tea very much. He found it to be very flavorful.
When I want decaf, this is one of the teas I drink. So good!
Love this Tea.
Bought this for husband who is sensitive to caffeine. It's the perfect drink after dinner without interrupting one's sleep.
I use this tea almost daily. I love it. Glad it comes in a refill
Bought as Christmas gift for a family member. All teas are great.
I love my black teas, but can’t have caffeine after supper. This is a wonderful black tea to enjoy in the evenings! Friends appreciate it, too!
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE AFTERNOON TEA AS THE FLAVOR IS SMOOTH AND COMFORTING.. IT ALSO DOES NOT KEEP ME UP AT NIGHT.
It is difficult to find a decaf tea that has a good flavor, but this tea hits the mark. I have been trying to decrease my daily caffeine intake. This tea is a great substitute.
I purchased about 2 weeks ago and I'm very happy with it
We love this tea. Makes great hot or iced tea. Always fast delivery.
it is a good tea
This morning tea has a good strong flavor, despite being decaf. Definitely part of my morning rotation.
Of all the black teas British Breakfast is my favorite and this is no exception, especially since it is decaf, which I need to drink most of the time. I find the Decaf British Breakfast to be very smooth with a nice flavor. I think the loose tea would be very good to keep on hand, so you can make it the strength that you like.
My favorite way to start the morning. I thought it would not be as good in decaf, but I love it just as much.
Nice strong flavor without the caffeine
I have purchased british breakfast tea for decades. The bulk bag makes it easier.
I'm typically not a fan of British tea because I find it too strong, but this tea hits the spot! I will buy a can of it. The taste is light and refreshing.
Delicious tea, no-waste strings and tabs!
I love this tea, especially in the cooler months. I love having a cup after dinner. It has great flavor and I don’t have to worry about overdoing caffeine.
Great tasting tea and wonderful to have it in decaf. Also, big plus that Republic of Tea uses healthy tea bags.
We love this decaf option for when someone wants a milk tea after noon. Even decaffeinated, it maintains a robust flavor. You can easily forget you're not drinking a version with full caffeine.
I usually keep my decaf tea at work, but with cooler weather coming I opted to leave this new purchase at home. Very glad I did. It's so smooth and I am enjoying having a cup or two in the evening. This is a wonderful addition to my decaf tea collection.
This is my go-to tea in late afternoon and evening. As much as I love tea (and drink it), I need to dial back the caffeine if I want to get to sleep in the evening. The decaf British Breakfast Black Tea gives me a full bodied cup of tea without the caffeine. Most decaf tea tastes watered down (like you've used the tea bag before) but not this cup. Thank you - now I can have my Tea and sleep soundly too!
Just received my new teas. As always, received in a timely fashion with delicious flavors to choose from.
English breakfast is one of my favorites for iced tea. Love that I can mix half caffeinated and half decaffeinated since I drink so much iced tea.
I love it! Decaf that actually tastes like real black tea. Brava!!
So I need to use decaf tea. I do not like herbal tea. Not a lot of choices. This is one of my staples. I drink iced tea all day. I make it in glass pitchers and have a full one all the time. I like it strong so in my pitcher I used 8 tea bags works out great. adjust to your liking. For a something different, try adding a cinnamon decaf in place of one of the breakfast bags.
This has been my go-to tea for years. It never disappoints and this shipment was no different. Smooth, decaf, no nonsense black tea is easy to drink all day. Shipments are quick, service is excellent! Thank you for continuing to sell this product!
Delightful decaf black...my go-to!!!
I was surprised by how good this decaf black tea is. It retains most of the flavor of the caffeinated version. Of course, it's not exactly the same, but it's great for those of us who are sensitive to caffeine or are drinking tea close to bedtime.
This is my go-to tea in the evening after dinner. Great flavor but without caffeine. Love it!
Being caffeine sensitive, I love drinking the decaf British Breakfast in the afternoon, as it doesn't interfere with my sleep, & it's delicious!!!
Nice relaxing medium strength black tea, with a little honey and on occasion a small splash of Bailey's, to wind down the evening.
Continued gi-to tea when wanting flavor but no caffeine
I really like this tea and an unable to find it in any grocery store in my area so am g glad to be able to order on line and receive it in a timely manner
Nice bold flavor and being decaf is a plus when I like to have a cup at night!
This tea is my favorite blend and I'm happy it is available in decaf!
Always easy to order my teas on this site at a fair price.
Perfect decaf black tea, good flavor and nice to have a decaf option.
Another favorite that is full-bodied and you seriously don't realize it is decaf because the taste is so good.
Many of the decaf teas I've bought previously didn't have must taste, but this blend provides all the deep, rich taste of the caffeinated version. It's wonderful for those mornings when I don't want the caffeine but do want to enjoy a cup.
I’m on a perennial search for a strong malty decaffeinated Assam tea. This is the best I’ve found so far, although it is a little too fruity and much less strong than I’d prefer.
Just got it. Love it.
First, I love that I can get British Breakfast Decaf tea bags in a nice storage tin. I also love that I can reduce waste and order refills in a paper bag! And best of all, the tea is wonderful!
Recently reordered refills of two flavors (Decaf British Breakfast & Decaf Ginger Peach) and new flavor for me, Organic Mint Fields. Not only was I able to take advantage of Reward Points (900) which I think is a great perk, but I placed the order on Friday, April 11th, and received the shipment before 9:00 a.m. on Monday, April 14th - Great Tea, Great Savings, Great Service!
This decaf tea is full of flavor. I feel like I am treating myself when I have a cup of this tea.
The main reason for buying this tea brand was the fact that there are no microplastics in the tea bag. I was pleasantly surprised that the taste is very good as well.
My husband & I drink a pot of your decaf Peoples green tea every morning but we add I tea bag of British Breakfast just to add a little zip. It is a great combination. I encourage all tea sippers to try this combination.
Great taste. I prefer British Breakfast tea but must watch the caffeine anytime after 2:00 pm. This works just fine b
Excellent taste and quality for the money.
When I sip the British Breakfast tea I am transported back to England where I was first served this delicious tea at a fine tea house. Thank you Republic of Tea for your wonderful teas and for the memories they create!
Love this tea!
Whenever I'm on travel, I always bring this tea with me. I'm looking for a decaf tea that's not Camamile and the little travel tin was perfect. I hope RoT brings back mini tins or offers an empty tin.
I tried a bag of this tea with my last order and soooo glad I did, it is heavenly! Very smooth, doesn't get bitter, and one bag is strong enough in a teacup. Absolute perfection, I'm hooked and will be ordering it loose with my next order. :)
I buy these for my husband who can’t tolerate caffeine. He’s tried many with non-plastic teabags. This is the best one!
I bought this because a friend introduced me to your teas. I love it!
I had ordered this before and was out. I'll keep ordering it.
I tried this tea with my last order and was impressed. One bag makes a decently strong cup of tea, with many tea bags I need to use two to have it turn out as strong as I like. I still prefer English Breakfast tea, but this is a very close second. I'd call it a strong, smooth flavor. Definitely worth trying if you haven't!
I love tea and I like to drink it at all hours but I cannot so caffeine before bed. This is a lovely tasting, decaf tea that really hits the spot. Love that the bags are compostable.
Loved drinking this during pregnancy - it was hard to find a good decaf black tea and this really hit the spot (and went well with the desserts I craved ??).
This tea is my favorite for a hot tea anytime.
This is my favorite English Breakfast style tea.Full bodied but smooth.
Flavorful alternative to regular English Breakfast. Delicious with honey and milk.
Love this tea and because it is decaf I can have a cup any time of day that I like.
Always prompt and accurate delivery of my favorite teas! I buy the British Breakfast tea in bulk and the Decaf version is great for my afternoon tea drinking. Great flavor and price!
Having a decaf in one of my regular favorites just makes me happy!
My son and I love this tea. We drink it almost every day, and at any time of day since it's caffeine-free! We love it with a splash of cream or oat milk.
Decaf British Breakfast with honey and cream has become my new "comfort food" first thing in the morning. When health issues forced the switch away from coffee I thought I'd never enjoy my mornings again, but this new beverage of choice is better than coffee ever was! Thank you, Republic of Tea.
I am a big fan of regular British Breakfast tea but found the decaf form to be pretty tasteless. : - (
This is my favorite decaf tea. The flavor is excellent.
I have this every day. It's so much better than any other store bought. Now I'm spoiled.
This tea has become an integral part of my morning routine, offering a delightful and caffeine-free start to my day. The aroma of the tea evokes a sense of warmth and comfort. My family also drink it so I appreciate that it is caffeine free and I am able to buy it in bulk.
Some days I just don't want caffeine, and this tea allows me to enjoy a classic without the caffeine.
This tea has spoiled me. I can't just buy any basic decaf black tea off the shelf at my grocery store anymore because the other tea taste cheap with a stale aftertaste. This tea has a clean better quality taste to me.
This is a favorite but I must say it's less flavorful than the caffeinated version but I do love that I can enjoy it in the evening now too.
I can't have caffeine anymore and ordered this hoping it would be good. It's not good. It's GREAT. I order from Republic of Tea a lot and have over the years. I had so many cans of tea that I donated because I couldn't drink caffeine anymore. This is my new favorite. I wish Comfort and Joywas decaf.
British Breakfast Decaf has all the flavor of my regular British Breakfast favorite, but I can drink it in the late afternoons or evenings without worry of being kept up by caffeine. Good for when you want one more cup, but not caffeine.
I had trouble finding a plain decaf black tea. I can't tell the difference between this and a full caf black tea. I like it!
One of my favorites by far! Smooth, calming, low acidity...perfect.
The decaf British Breakfast Tea (BBT) is a delicious way to start the day. A full bodied black tea, despite it being decaf. Love it!
Very weak decaf compared to other brands I've tried. The taste is also odd but maybe I've gotten used to lower quality brands… Sorry! Really wanted to like this!
I have been buying this tea for years and years. I won't deink anything else.
My wife is actually the "citizen" and she has been drinking this tea for years. She has tried some other flavors but British Breakfast Decaf is still her favorite. It's great to be able to buy it in bulk.
I like to drink decaf later in my day. This tea has a good flavor, and decaf is mild enough that I don't need cream in it.
This is the perfect black tea for later in the day. Simple with full flavor for a decaf.
My doctor said no more caffeine for me and I began my search for a decaf tea to replace my morning coffee. Tried many but this one hit the spot! It doesn't taste like decaf, not weak or chemically, no aftertaste either. Even my very British husband loves it and has replaced his usual before bed brew with this one! That is huge! So happy I found this - my morning are civil again.
Had just tried the Super Fruit Decaf Pomegranate Green Tea and loved it and decided to try the Decaf British Breakfast Black Tea as a replacement for my morning coffee brew. Although detoxing from years of caffeine is difficult, I will say this delicious tea made the mornings easier and so much more pleasant for me! I actually went back and bought more because my husband, a Brit and loyal British Tea drinker, loved it as a substitute for his fully caffeinated brews . This is a great tea!
I would've given my first can of this only 4 stars, because I purchased it alongside a can of Organic Assam Breakfast, which I adore and think of as the perfect black tea. By comparison, this tea was much more astringent/not as smooth as the Assam. (Hey Tea Ministers - please make a decaf version of the Assam Breakfast!) I wouldn't have purchased this again, honestly, except that it's the only plain, bagged, decaf black tea on the site. I gave it another try, and this batch doesn't seem to be quite so astringent. I still don't like it quite as much as the Assam, but I drink it regularly now and am glad I gave it a second chance. It pairs well with oat milk. 4.5 stars (But I still hold out hope for a decaf version of the Assam, 'cause it's both yummier AND organic!)
I order this for my mum as she is from England and she loves it
I've had to switch to decaf beverages due to health issues, and many decaf teas I've tried are just weak in the knees...no oomph! This one has more body to it and does not disappoint on flavor. So glad you make this! Now...do you make a decaf Earl Greyer because that is my favorite!
It is just as good as the regular british breakfast tea but I wanted a decaf to drink in the afternoon. This is a good alternative from my blackberry sage decaf.
I was happy to see that this decaf loses none of its original flavor after decaffeination. Good job.
I use it to make ice tea, a base for my chocolate drink too. Best decaf British breakfast I've had. I've purchased this in bulk numerous times.
Love the decaf. British Breakfast has a nice smooth flavor. Please make a Darjeeling too.
So nice to have found a tea brand that doesn't upset my stomach.
I'm so glad Republic of Tea makes a decaffeinated version of their British Breakfast blend. I love the taste (can't tell the difference between it and the caffeinated one), and I really love that I can have a late afternoon cuppa and not be up all night!
I use two teabags to get a good strong flavor
This was my first time to order my favorite tea in decaffeinated and it continues to be my favorite because it is still tasty and full bodied. I was concerned that it wouldn't taste as strong as the regular, but am surprised and very pleased.
The flavor is very good AND you can hardly tell it is decaf. I will purchase this product again. I
The taste, freshness and selling teabags in a tin to stay fresh are much appreciated. The decaf still has some small amount of caffeine, but the reduction in the amount is an improvement. Making kombucha with your tea makes a wonderful Kombucha!
I have been trying to cut back on caffeine and this tea really helps. I can't tell the difference between this and the regular British Breakfast tea. Love it and re-ordered it today, both the bags and the full leaf.
We make iced tea all year long. Republic of Tea British Breakfast tea is always full of flavor.
The wonderful bold flavor of British Breakfast tea always gives a nice pick me up.
I love the decaf British Breakfast tea. But I cannot use the free Star wars tea because it is caffinated. I was disappointed with that.
He prefers it to some of the other common English breakfast teas
I enjoy the British Breakfast at Panera Bread and wanted some decaf for at home. It's not nearly as strong and flavorful.
My favorite tea.
I love the caffeinated British Breakfast Tea and wanted something I could have in the late afternoon/evening. This is exactly what I was looking for.
This tea is so mild that I can leave the tea bag in as I go about my day, and the tea doesn't get bitter! My favorite go-to everyday tea!
The quality of tea you've grown to love and expect from Republic of Tea is demonstrated again with their decaf black
An avid coffee drinker in the past, I've come to really enjoy this British Breakfast tea with my breakfast. Decaf is a must because of tummy issues and this is perfect.
I love British Breakfast tea and appreciate that the Republic of Tea offers a decaf version for my evening enjoyment. This tea is rich and flavorful and not to be missed.
After becoming overly sensitive to caffeine, I tried a variety of decaf British Breakfast teas.None compared to The Republic of Tea's for taste. With a teaspoon of half and half it is especially lovely. It is my daily morning brew now.
When I switched from caffeinated to decaf tea to fight my caffeine addiction, I desperately missed the rich taste of a breakfast type unflavored black tea. I tried all sorts of brands, then fell in love with Republic of Tea British breakfast. It's almost like I'm not drinking decaf! I drink tea all day long and British Breakfast is my mainstay / comfort mug. I buy it in bulk because I love it so much, and the month this winter when it was out of stock with RoT was a ROUGH time for me.
Admittedly, my criteria for judging decaf tea is simple: does what's in my cuppa taste like old wet socks? Thankfully, RoT British Breakfast Decaf does NOT taste at all like damp footwear. In fact, it's delectable! Medium color, medium body, excellent with a splash of half and half. I defy anyone to distinguish the taste from the regular caffeinated version. 11/10, definitely recommend.
A delicious way to start the day!
the tea tastes great! I love the bulk bags - Can put in the tins.
This is my favorite tea. Lots of malty goodness and a beautiful color.
My go-to tea. Great with a bit of honey!
I've been ordering my teas from Republic of Tea for at least a decade. The service is excellent, delivery is on time, and the quality of the products is superb. I have black, green, white, and red teas on my counter (for easy access). Whenever anyone mentions teas, I recommend Republic of Tea as a source. A large cup of tea, a good book, music, and a comfortable chair--retirement heaven!
Tastes as good as the caffinated version!
I ordered the Star Wars Mandalorian Gift set with the Baby Yoda Green Tea and the Mandalorian Black tea. Upon arrival my box set was torn on both sides. This was a Christmas Gift for my son that collects all things Star Wars. Made a call to CS they said it was currently out of stock but that they would send one ASAP but it most likely won't arrive by Christmas. Thats ok as long as he can have an undamaged package. Well what happened on Christmas eve was nothing short of amazing. The tea set arrived in perfect condition. On the 28th I called to see about returning the damaged item and I was told by Nicole to keep it and enjoy the tea. The black tea is amazingly smooth and delicious even without sugar and the green tea is a joy as well. Thank you all At Republic of Tea
I love this decaf black tea blend. It is a basic black tea, but one of the best I have ever had. I love it iced and hot.
Always great professional service and great tea??????
I have been drinking this tea first thing in the morning for several years. Love it. I always purchase the big refill pack, 250 tea bags. I don't want to be without.
Hi, I had hoped that this black tea would have some 'body' to it. Perhaps it isn't realistic since there's no caffeine. But there also is no flavor when I add a dash of milk. Disappointed
This is my go to tea for everyday sipping. It is good quality black tea that stands up to all of the spices I add to it. I add a homemade chai mix and milk sometimes. At other times I add cinnamon and milk. I enjoy this tea and the taste.
I bought this tea because I LOVE the caffeinated British Breakfast, and I wanted something decaf to drink because I was drinking too much caffeine. I was really disappointed in the flavor. It barely tastes like anything, nothing like the bold flavor of the caffeinated one. And I ordered the bulk bag of 250, so I'm stuck with it. Very disappointed.
This is very good for a decaf tea. The flavor is not quite as full as a regular tea but it's very close. Of any decaf teas I've tried, this one is probably the best.
When it is too late for caffeine, this my go to afternoon tea, especially with a sweet treat.
Sometimes decaf teas lack the full-bodied flavor of the caffeine version—but not the case with this British Breakfast blend. Great taste in a decaf tea.
For the past 12-14 years my husband & I drink an 8 cup pot of green tea. every morning Over the past few years we have added 1 British Breakfast tea bag to the pot. It has made the taste even better. I learned about Republic of Tea when I worked at Rainbow Blossom in Louisville, KY. I have been drinking Republic of Tea tea ever since and that was over 20 years ago.
Due to health reasons I am limited to decaf tea and generally drink it first thing in the morning. This Decaf British Breakfast Tea is the best I've found. Love it! Helps me be calm and carry on. :)
It's our go to decaf for daily use. Better yet, our non-decaf friends can't tell the difference! Full flavor!
Since I have had to cut out caffeine, this is my favorite "regular" tea - tastes like the real thing
Full bodied taste in a decaf tea. I love it.
I have been drinking this tea for years. It is the best. I use a little cream and it is smooth and enjoyable. Love it.
Great as always!
I have had a hard time finding a basic black decaffinated tea. An lot of them need sugar or milk to tone down the bitterness. Not this one! Good anytime of he day. Nice flavor. Strong without being bitter. No need to look any further..
I used to think I needed 2 tea bags for the flavor but if you bring it to a boil and let it steep it is perfect! I can even use only one tea bag in a 16 oz. mug and still get the rich flavor. This is the best decaf black tea I have ever had.
This decaf is far superior to the usual store brands but unless I have a very small cup, I find I have to use two bags to get the robust flavor in your description. I will buy it again!
Only if I use two bags per cup can I get a flavorful English cup of tea. Even though I purchase the bulk selection for value (250), it's still very expensive to get a proper cup. I hope Republic will add more leaves per bag? Otherwise this tea is their most expensive tea for the enjoyer.
This tea has a pleasant English Breakfast flavor, but just isn't as strong as I would prefer. Even using two bags, it seems a bit on the weak side. But, considering that I can't have caffeine, it's nice to at least have an English Breakfast option.
I've been drinking this decaf black tea for years. It has never disappointed me. When steeped for long enough, it is a fairly rich black tea, slightly malty. It's strong enough to satisfy my need for strong tea at times when caffeine would be a bad idea. Sometimes I use two teabags for an extra kick.
I LOVE this tea! I think it is second best only to the Assam Black Tea (has caffeine). I drink at least one glass of British Breakfast Decaf everyday. It's great plain and with honey. Can't live without it.
Wow this is weak! One tea bag is like drinking plain hot water. I have to use 2 to get any taste. skip this if you like a stronger decaf.....
I use this as my late evening tea. Good standard black tea. As I am sensitive to caffeine too late in the day, I can drink this anytime of day and get a good cuppa of black tea
Drink this black in the late evening as my before bed cup. Always good. High quality.
This is every bit as tasty as the caffienated variety.
