We’ve taken our signature Typhoo blend and sifted the caffeine from the leaves for those moments where you just want to calm it down a bit.
How to Typhoo
In the home, at work or on the go, with friends or family, tea is what makes the moment. All that from a bag, a cup, some freshly boiled water and 3-5 minutes of waiting. Not bad is it?
Ingredients: Black Tea
Typhoo uses a decaffeination process which gently removes most of the caffeine and is believed to give a better flavour of decaffeinated tea than other methods. Recent research has shown that the healthy antioxidants in tea are not removed during this process. So, it’s a great alternative to regular tea when you want to reduce your daily caffeine intake.
Typhoo wants to contribute to a better world for people and nature. That is why we source our tea responsibly by buying from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. When you choose our Rainforest Alliance Certified tea, you can be confident that you are supporting farmers to look after their workers and help protect our natural resources.
We proudly support the Ethical Tea Partnership – the people who are striving to improve the lives of tea workers around the world. They aim to create a more healthy, happy and fair working environment for tea workers and their communities.

I am taste testing this against Taylors of Harrogate Decaffeinated Breakfast Tea tonight.
I have used one teabag per 8 oz cup. Although I normally would take lemon and sugar with these, I am drinking both black to compare them fairly.
I need to drink decaf tea at night, in order not to have it disturb my sleep. For that purpose, both of these teas work. However, I find that I prefer this Ty-Phoo Decaf, since it has more flavor, no doubt due to more tea in their teabags (3.125 g v. 2.5 g). When I make a potful, I need only use four Ty-Phoo teabags as opposed to five of the Taylors.
Seriously, they’re both pretty similar, but I think the Ty-Phoo must have some Assam, and the Taylors doesn’t. There’s more depth to the Ty-Phoo.
At this time, I like the Ty-Phoo best of whatever plain black decaf teabags I’ve tried. I do recommend it. Plus being a decaf, it won’t interfere with your sleep.
Flavors: Airy, Tea, Woody
Nice to see a comparison! Now I am curious and might try these.
Agreed. Ty-Phoo decaf is the competitor to beat for tasting like the real thing. (That has also been confirmed with a British expat friend whom I consider an expert on British builders tea.)
So glad to hear you say this, gmathis. I take your reviews seriously, and appreciate your agreement! And to ashmanra, let me say to only try the Taylors if you prefer a weaker blend of tea. The Ty-Phoo definitely has more flavor. Thanks to both of you for your comments!
You’re kind, Chi-town!
Thank you, Chi-Town!That sounds like good advice!
I was hoping to find a straight decaf black tea to have on hand that would rival the strength of PG Tips. This one seemed to get really good reviews, so I managed to get my hands on a box. It was not an easy one to find for some reason. With all the trouble it took, I have to say that I’m no so happy with it now that I’ve made a cup. The flavor is light and sort of bland. Not complex at all. I know I probably shouldn’t expect much from decaf, but I know there are good decaf blends out there so I do. Might just end up using this one to mix with other blends.
I think I’ve finally accepted the hard truth that there is no perfect decaf black tea, although this one happens to be my favorite. I’ll be interested to see if you’re able to land on one that is your “best you can find.”
I think you’re probably right. I hope to try some of Harney & Sons decaf black teas since I do love their decaf blends. Maybe the Ceylon and/or the Assam when the samples are available again.
Another Steepsterite reviewed this as follows: The king of bagged decaf black tea. Accept no substitutes! I believe I agree. Nothing fancy or subtle, but enough strength to make this a viable substitute for bop-you-on-the-head builders tea.
It’s not my favourite decaf black tea but it’s what my mum bought in bulk on Amazon :/
