"Finally there is a decaffeinated black tea that has real flavor! I recently gave up caffeine so I was thrilled to discover this tea. It is remarkably good for having been processed to remove the caffeine. In the cup it has a rich color (many decaffeinated black teas turn grey when adding milk), a pleasing aroma and a reasonably full, rich flavor. Overall it's very satisfying." Jahan Salehi

"There are times when you just have to avoid the caffeine, and this is a good choice for those times. Full-bodied but not bitter, and a smooth enough finish. I like it with milk and sugar in the evenings." Tea Analyst

"This is one of the best decaf Assam's IF YOU STEEP IT CORRECTLY. Don't follow Upton's direction, Instead, use about 3g (2 LEVEL teaspoons) for 6-8 oz. of just-off-boiling water. Steep for 90 to 120 seconds, not longer or it gets weird."

"I rated this highly because it’s the best tasting decaffeinated black tea I can find anywhere. Since it's an Assam, it's fuller bodied than other blacks. None taste even close to regular tea to me, of course." Sarah Lynch

"Does caffeine after 3:00 pm keep you awake all night? Enter decaf tea. This one is a life-saver! Wonderful color and smell, you'd never know it was decaf. It's a great soul-boost in late afternoon, or a soothing way to end an evening." Franz Metcalf

"More robust and balanced than other Upton decafs (Ceylon, Darjeeling). My wife prefers it by a wide margin and I can tolerate it even though I normally drink strong Yunnans. That's real praise. (Note: review stars given in comparison to other decafs.)" Sophy

"Far better depth of flavor than insipid grocery decafs. Limit brewing time to 4 minutes at most, or this tea becomes quite tannic. Stands up well to a dollop of milk. A perfect morning tea; also enjoyable on a rainy afternoon with a good book." vandler

"This used to be great, a solid tea with banana notes. Now it's lemony and bitter, and doesn't even take milk well. I don't know why this changed, but I'm stuck with a big bag of it." A tea drinker

"Like any decaf, it is "thinner" than a non-decaffeinated tea but it you make it strong, it's satisfying late at night."
