Fragrant or classic, light, full-bodied, smoky, tea comes in a vast collection which, while it aims to be completely exhaustive, must also include a selection of caffeine-free teas. For tea drinkers who like to enjoy their drink at any time of day, Betjeman & Barton has of course selectedthe best of theine-free teas.
What is a caffeine-free tea?
Far from being blasphemy,Theine-free tea is the hot drink par excellencefor the amateur who wants to enjoy their tasting whatever the time of day - or night.
The plant that gives rise to tea, Camellia sinensis, contains a molecule well-known to tea lovers: theine. More precisely, it is the leaves that contain theine and are therefore responsible for the stimulating effect associated with tea. Of course, the amount of theine varies from one tea to another: for example, there is more theine in black teas and oolong teas. Also, teas from later harvests produce riper leaves and therefore have a lower concentration of theine.
While it's certainly possible to choose your tea based on its theine content, you can also choose a tea without theine. Thanks to detheination, it's perfectly possible to enjoy an Earl Grey at any time of day.
