Decaf tea

Plus one for TickTock rooibos here too; the only tea I can drink now apart from herbals.

if you drink a lot of water at once you need to have a 'salt lick' after....that is a few grains of salt in palm of hand and lick it up... large glass of water in one go is not a good idea without the salt!

Why is that Lemsip?

I use Lidl decaf tea and when visitors ask for tea I don’t mention it is decaf and have had many compliments on what a lovely cuppa I make.

For those who may have forgotten, in olden days friends and neighbours used to simply drop in to have a chat over a hot drink. We referred o them as visitors.

Do you have a Morrison’s? We drink theirs and it’s lovely.

Another fan of Lidl decaff teabags here. I have tried Aldi ones, but they are a little weak. I was told that Earl Grey tea has lower caffeine levels than ordinary tea, but don't know if it's true.

I drink Rooibos (Red bush) tea. It is naturally decaffeinated. I have it with a little milk. Since starting to drink this herbal tea, about five years ago, I've lost the taste for real tea of any sort. Red Bush is a delicious, refreshing drink. Sainsbury's own brand is reasonably priced and as good as any I have tried.

Midgey Have you tried Nescafe decaffeinated coffee? The coffee is decaff'd by using a filtration process rather than using chemicals.

Thanks Squiffy. Since we’ve been having Tesco deliveries we’ve had several substitutions and one of them has been Nescafé Gold Blend decaf, something I would never have bought. I switched to Kenco many years ago and have stuck with it ever since but I must admit to not missing the Kenco. If I travel anywhere I always have to stick to decaf tea or coffee (not that I travel anywhere these days!). It’s only when I have a cup of normal coffee late at night that I realise the effect caffeine has:I’ll still be trying to get to sleep at 3 in the morning. I do like Redbush tea but did think it tasted a bit antiseptic when I first tried it.

Yorkshire de cafe for me as well. X

We are big tea drinkers in our home, so in the evening I make decaf as the last one of the day. I've tried a few brands but have settled on Tesco's own brand as the favourite. It makes a lovely cuppa.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions lots to choose from ?

I like earl grey tea, like the bergamot taste. I have withdrawal symptoms if I don’t have a couple of coffees in the morning !
