Decaf tea - is it unhealthy? Can I drink loads of it?

[Wills]

Just wanted to know

Wills, if you want low caffeine tea, don't go for stuff that's been tinkered with (pardon me Tinker ), cultivate a taste for redbush, which is naturally low in both tannin and caffeine. Might even be caffeine free...
We'vre tried several brands and the nearest to "real" tea in terms of taste is the 11 O'Clock organic brand with the little girl being served tea in the nursery. It really is delicious and we drink it most of the time now.

Thanks.

imho decaf tea is a lot better than ordinary tea - but it is even better to have herbals/fruit teas that have no caff in in the first place. decaf tea will eventually "add" up to a significant amount of caffeine.

are you after something that tastes like ordinary tea?

I can't be doing with tose fancy fruit/herbal teas.

Tea should taste like tea IMO!
