The young leaves of this organic green tea are harvested in spring and early summer. They then go through a naturally chemical-free CO2 decaffeination process to retain their naturally-occurring antioxidants and light green tea flavor. This environmentally-friendly process results in a simply delicious and non-bitter decaffeinated green tea. Warming ginger gently greets the nose before lemon and rosehip citrus characters brighten the taste buds. Lemon Verbena gives it a smooth and slightly cooling finish.
