Bromley Naturally Decaffeinated Black Tea

Yes, and that's what makes Bromley stand out. Multiple tea drinkers mention the taste is indistinguishable from caffeinated tea, which is rare for decaf options. You get that classic Orange Pekoe black tea flavor without the telltale 'decaf taste' that plagues many brands. It's smooth, not bitter, and actually tastes like what you'd expect from a quality black tea.

This is specifically praised for being smooth without any bitter aftertaste. Four separate reviewers specifically called out the lack of bitterness, which suggests Bromley's decaffeination process doesn't strip away the good flavors or leave harsh notes behind. The Orange Pekoe and Pekoe Cut blend maintains its moderate strength and natural black tea character.

Absolutely. The individually wrapped tea bags make it foolproof—no measuring, no mess. And because it's so forgiving (it stays smooth even if you oversteep a bit), you won't end up with a bitter cup while you're learning your preferences. It's a great gateway into quality black tea without the intimidation factor.

Five reviewers specifically mentioned it's the best decaffeinated tea on the market, and the pattern is clear: it doesn't compromise on flavor. Most decaf teas lose their character during processing, but Bromley's premium Orange Pekoe grade and careful decaffeination preserve what makes black tea enjoyable. For people who need to avoid caffeine but refuse to settle for subpar tea, this consistently delivers.

The smooth, moderate-strength profile makes it versatile for iced tea. Since it doesn't get bitter, you can brew it a bit stronger for icing without worrying about harsh flavors. Tea enthusiasts often experiment with iced preparations using quality black teas like this, and the individually wrapped bags make portion control easy.

It's not discontinued—you're ordering it right here! Two reviewers mentioned the same frustration about it disappearing from local stores, which is why buying it online in the 2-box pack (200 bags total) makes sense. Yes, the price has gone up over the years, but for people who've searched everywhere for quality decaf, having a reliable source matters more than hunting store to store.
