Common questions

How much caffeine is in decaf black tea?
Approximately 0.17 mg per 1/4 teaspoon serving. For scale, the caffeinated black instant tea is about 35 mg and a cup of drip coffee is roughly 95 mg. You would need to drink several hundred cups of this to reach a single cup of coffee.

Does decaf tea taste weaker?
This one is bold, robust, and full-bodied. It is made from single-origin premium black tea leaves and tastes like a fresh brew, so it holds up black or with milk and sugar.

Can I drink it in the evening?
At approximately 0.17 mg per serving, the caffeine is negligible. People with high caffeine sensitivity should still consult their doctor.

What can I make with it?
It works for hot tea, iced tea, Arnold Palmers, and smoothies. For iced, dissolve in a little hot water first, then top with cold water and ice, or stir vigorously if going straight into cold.

How to make

Our tea powder is concentrated, requiring just a small amount to make your tea. Use 1/4 tsp for one serving (8 fl oz) or 2 teaspoons to make a full 64 fl oz pitcher. For a gallon (128 fl oz), we recommend starting with 4 tsp of Waka tea powder. From there, feel free to adjust the flavor to suit your taste!

Decaf Instant Tea

When I could no longer purchase the Instant Decaf Tea that I had used for decades, I finally found a new source ... Waka Coffee & Tea. I have been using the Decaf Black Instant Tea for several months. It requires far less product that what I had been using, and the flavor is wonderful. I am still able to sweeten with stevia and add the milk that is always part of my iced tea.

User review

I'm enjoying your tea . It tastes better than Lipton or Nestea ever did. I'm also able to use less sugar.

Love iced tea!

I enjoy tea with my late lunch and into the evening, but the caffeine in most black teas keeps me from being able to sleep until the wee hours. With the Waka instant tea I can drink it safely at all hours and still go to sleep when I want to. Also it is very difficult to find instant tea without sweetener or lemon, and I like my tea plain, so I was delighted to find just plain black tea without the adulterations of sweetener or lemon!

Hard to find decaf

It's hard to find good unsweetened decaf iced tea mix in the stores. This is very good, very rich tea that I am enjoying!

Great Stuff

Tastes good and decaf. I haven't been able to find decaf except in tea bags and I just do not like the flavor of the tea from them. This is as good as Lipton and doesn't use as much.
