This green tea retains 95 percent of the polyphenols and has a typical grassy green tea taste. There are two decaffeinating methods. One uses the solvent ethyl acetate, retaining only 30 percent of the healthy polyphenols. We use only the alternative natural process using water and carbon dioxide (C02) circulation called 'effervescence' that uses high pressure and temperature to extract the caffeine. The distinct character of the tea is retained. Although there is a slight change in tea character due to the process it does not leave the chemical overtones of the other process.

This is a specially produced health blend for those interested in maximizing their intake of the active ingredient in green tea: Catechin.
