LCurator note · PG Tips

Decaf usually feels like a step down you tolerate, but most people really could not pick this one out of a line up next to full caffeine PG Tips. The body holds, the malty Kenyan note is there, and crucially it keeps its colour and character when the milk goes in rather than turning pale and weak. If decaf has always disappointed you, this is the one to retry, an everyday brew first and a decaf second.

Curator’s notes

Read the full write-up

PG Tips Decaf English Breakfast is the PG Tips breakfast cup for evenings and anyone cutting back, with plenty of flavour and very little caffeine. Plenty of decafs come out thin and watery; this one is blended from hand selected leaf to give a strong, traditional cup instead. In bag form it keeps that easy PG Tips character, bold enough for the daytime pot and gentle enough for a last mug at night. For a proper cuppa at any hour of the day, this full flavoured decaffeinated black tea makes a fine milky mug in the usual British way and an easy, smooth cold brew in summer. From a lazy evening on the sofa to a long afternoon at work, it pours a brisk, zesty mug with most of the caffeine taken out, very much in the PG Tips way.

The Story Behind the PG Tips Brand

The story goes back to Manchester in eighteen sixty nine, when Arthur Brooke launched his original blend, and PG Tips has grown into one of the most familiar names on British shelves.

Natural Decaffeination: The PG Tips brand uses natural carbon dioxide to remove caffeine while keeping the delicate leaf flavour intact.
Pyramid Innovation: Famous for introducing the pyramid bag in nineteen ninety six to give leaves more room to move for a better infusion.
Heritage of Care: Originally called Pre Gestee to suggest digestive benefits the brand remains a cultural icon known for its progressive vision.

PG Tips Commitment To The Planet

PG Tips presents itself as a pioneer of sustainable tea, with the stated goal that every part of this decaf box respects the environment.

Side by side

How does it compare

vs Yorkshire Tea DecafBoth are strong teas, but PG Tips tends to win praise for a smoother, less astringent finish when taken without milk.

vs Tetley DecafPG Tips brews bolder and stronger in its premium pyramid bags, where Tetley gives a more standard, rounded cup.

vs Regular PG TipsThe Decaf version offers almost identical quality and richness with less than 0.2 percent caffeine for conscious drinkers.

Brewing

Brewing the perfect cup

Water temperature100°C; only water at a full boil draws all the theaflavins and thearubigins out of this decaf leaf.

MeasureA standard cup takes one bag in 200ml of water, while builder strength calls for 2 bags in 300ml.

Steep3 to 5 minutes: go long for a strong mug that takes plenty of milk, short for a paler, lighter one.

ServiceFull fat milk, just a splash, stirred through, with sugar only if you like it. Casein in the milk softens the tannins, which largely explains why British tea is so rarely drunk black.

Iced versionSteep 4 bags in 500ml until strong and sweeten while warm with 4 tablespoons of caster sugar; cooled, it takes 500ml of cold water and 2 squeezed lemons.

CaffeineVery little, being decaffeinated, but not zero; no milligram figure is given here for this box.

Best withMarmalade on toast, a slice of fruit cake, scones and cream, or the whole full English.

Safety and purity

What’s in it, what to know

CaffeineVery little, being decaffeinated, but not zero; no milligram figure is given here for this box.

Ingredients and dietary suitabilityPG Tips can alter the recipe, so look at the allergy details on the current box before ordering.

CaffeineVery little, being decaffeinated, but not zero; no milligram figure is given here for this box.

Nutrient NoteTheaflavins and thearubigins, plentiful in fully oxidised leaf like this, are what make a good decaf cup brisk and coppery.

Shelf LifeSafe beyond its printed best before date, the decaf simply loses aroma the longer it is kept. Sealed in an airtight jar on a cool, dry shelf, away from sunlight, the bags keep well.

Formulations change; the current UK pack is always the final word on ingredients and allergens.
