This decaf Sencha style green tea was grown and produced in China's Hunan Province. The exceptional leaf is decaffeinated using a patented Chemical Free CO2 process. During the process, naturally occurring CO2 is circulated under high pressure to extract caffeine. Not only is this process completely chemical free and kind to the environment, it leaves none of the chemical flavor residue associated with chemically decaffeinated teas. The light, fresh taste that is the result makes this tea a natural for blending with dried fruits and herbs, and it retains 95% of its polyphenol potency.
