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.
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!
