I'm trying to limit my caffeine intake, but still love tea. I'm currently drinking Tetley's decaf tea, but the taste isn't working for me.

Do you have any nice decaf tea recommendations? Please?!

Clipper - the rest have dodgy methods of caffeine extraction

I drank whittard's decaf tea when pregnant. Tried redbush but could not get on with it.

For me Morrison own tea works for me tastes just like there normal tea red label that I drink.

Thank you for all your messages! Never knew it would be such a popular topic..

I didn't know decaf tea was bad for you. I know decaf coffee is treated in weird ways that makes it madness to drink, but is the same true of tea?

Tetley's is horrible. Anything else is fine. I drink Aldi now because we have one across the road.

Surely it depends on your water?

I love tea and can drink buckets of it when I am not pg, but just cut down to three cups of normal tea a day when I was.

Wikipedia has some info on the decaffeinating process. Lots of companies use chemical solvent to extract the caffeine, leaving chemical residue.

I only use clipper for decaf tea and Taylor's of Harrogate for decaf coffee - the coffee is decaffeinated using the water method.

I got Typhoo decaff, not quite the same, but a close match!

Another vote for Yorkshire here, tried loads, theirs is by far the best Brew
