“My default no-effort decaf bag tea. It’s not fantastic, but it’s not bad either – especially for a tea that’s both decaf and in a bag – and is available almost everywhere near where I live.” Read full tasting note
A strong, full-bodied decaffeinated black tea from the regions of Ceylon and Assam expertly blended with a hearthy flavor and delightful aroma.
The Irish really love their tea and are amongst the most frequent drinkers of tea around the world. In celebration of this tea drinking tradition, Twinings blended a special Irish Breakfast Blend. This tea is best taken with milk and sweetened to taste to bring out the best flavor.
Company description not available.
The virtue of this tea is that it’s strong for a decaf black. I don’t like it much by itself, but it mixes well with other decaf black teas, particularly when making decaf masala chai. For that I combine it with a decaf full-leaf Assam, since those tend to be weaker but add more flavor.
I’m testing this plain, no sugar, no lemon, so that I can just describe the tea itself. Twinings Irish Breakfast Decaf is one I always keep in my cupboard. I generally drink tea at night, so I need to watch my caffeine intake. I’m taste testing this against Twinings regular Irish Breakfast tonight.
Obviously, the Decaf is not as strong as the regular. There’s still a note of depth, but it’s far in the background when compared to regular Irish Breakfast. And that’s fine for evenings when one wants a nice cuppa that hits the spot, but isn’t going to make one twitchy when trying to fall asleep.
It’s not as strong in flavor or in depth of"oomph" as Irish Breakfast original. But it serves very well in a blend with herbal or even rooibos teas, when a deeper note is needed, but without a lot of caffeine. I usually make a pot of half this and half regular. I get to enjoy the depth of the original, with the lightness provided by this decaf. It’s a good balance.

My default no-effort decaf bag tea. It’s not fantastic, but it’s not bad either – especially for a tea that’s both decaf and in a bag – and is available almost everywhere near where I live.

While not overly complex this is a fairly tasty decaf tea. It is somewhat malty and very smooth. It was only available from Twinnings as a tea bag, not as loose. And it is nice for a time of day where I cannot have caffeine. If Twinnings hadn’t been running a special for free shipping I wouldn’t have bothered with the order.
Brewed two teabags in a 16oz mug with 200 degree water for 3 minutes.
I let this one steep for quite a while. Usually I boil up water, pour it in, and then go do something for a bit and come back to it. Bought it out of curiosity and I definitely like it, just not quite as much as I love my earl grey.
If you’re using teabags you might want to switch to a loose leaf for better flavor. A pot with brew basket or a finum filter would work best. I love black tea but luckily caffeine doesn’t bother me.
