    "content_text": "PG Tips announced their Original Decaffeinated is leaving the range Q3. The smaller decaf SKU isn't moving enough volume for them. We have stock through end-of-life. After that the closest alternative is Yorkshire Tea Decaf, which is a more rounded cup at a similar price.\n\nDecaf is the SKU most likely to get pulled when a multinational reviews the range. It usually accounts for 5 to 10% of the brand's volume but the same admin overhead as a top-three flavour. When a Lipton or Ekaterra strategy meeting weighs SKU rationalisation against volume contribution, decaf loses. PG Tips Original Decaf has been on shelves for over twenty years. Today it is the casualty of a portfolio simplification, not a quality decision.\nYorkshire Tea Decaf is the closest direct alternative. Same family (a stronger English Breakfast style black), same per-cup price band, same brew time. The Yorkshire is fuller-bodied because it is CO2-decaffeinated (PG Tips used methylene chloride historically \u2014 see our separate piece on decaf methods). It also pairs better with milk, which is what most decaf drinkers want it for in the first place.\nOther reasonable swaps depending on the cup you actually want: Twinings English Breakfast Decaf (lighter, more elegant), Clipper Decaf Original (CO2-decaffeinated, organic, slightly more expensive), Tetley Decaf (similar profile to PG but currently available). If your reason for drinking PG Tips Decaf was the strong wake-up cup without the caffeine, Yorkshire Decaf is the answer. If it was \"cheapest decaf at the supermarket shelf\", Tetley wins on price.\nSubscribers on PG Tips Original Decaf get a notification two weeks before stock runs out. Default opt-in switch is to Yorkshire Decaf (same delivery cadence, same Subscribe and Save 10% discount). One-click opt out to pick a different alternative or cancel. End-of-life stock at our usual margin until gone. We are not stockpiling. There will not be a follow-up restock.\nBrowse the related PG Tips range at teas.co.uk.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.
