    "excerpt": "Teapigs Decaf English Breakfast is the decaffeinated whole-leaf black in the Teapigs range, the same proper-brew idea as the Everyday Brew but with the caffeine taken out, a whole-leaf blend from Kenya and Ceylon in Teapigs' pyramid temples rather than crushed fragments. It is the one to reach for in the evening, or for sensitive stomachs, when you still want a robust cup rather than the thin, flat decaf most bags deliver.Preparation: drop one pyramid temple into a 250ml mug at 95 to 100 degrees and steep four to five minutes. The cup is ready within roughly four to five minutes of the kettle. It takes milk well and pairs happily with buttered toast.Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.Curator notes: rated four point six out of five, the Decaf English Breakfast is the evening counterpart to the Teapigs Everyday Brew. Packaging information must be checked on the current UK pack.",

                "content": "The flavour of Teapigs Decaf English Breakfast, 15 Tea Bags 50g is built in three layers, and reading them in order explains exactly why the cup tastes the way it does from the first lift of steam to the last swallow.Caffeine: decaffeinated or low-caffeine; a product-specific milligram figure is not claimed.The flavour spike arrives mid palate, where the headline components carry the weight. The lead notes release their character first while any supporting notes fill in underneath, which is why the cup tastes layered rather than one dimensional. This is best drunk clear; the botanicals carry their own natural sweetness and milk tends to mute the brighter top notes. It is the densest, most concentrated stretch of the cup and the part a longer steep develops most.The base structure is the lingering finish: a clean, gently rounded note that resets the palate and invites the next sip. This deliberate three layer balance is the hallmark of a properly built blend, and it is what stops a single note tea from tasting thin halfway down the mug. A well made cup should still be interesting on the final mouthful, not just the first.Getting it right in the cup. Use one bag per 200 to 250ml and steep for 4 to 6 minutes in water straight off the boil; under steeping is the most common reason this blend tastes weaker than it should, because the heavier aromatic compounds are the slowest to leave the leaf. Keep the cup covered for the first minute to trap the volatile oils in the liquid rather than losing them to the steam. Cold brewed in the fridge for six to eight hours the same blend mellows noticeably: less aromatic lift, a rounder, sweeter body and a longer, gentler finish. Stored sealed somewhere cool and dark the character holds well beyond a year, fading slowly in aroma long before it ever turns stale.How water and temperature change it. The same bag gives a measurably different cup depending on how you treat the water. Hotter water and a longer steep pull more of the heavier, deeper compounds for a fuller, rounder, slightly more astringent result; cooler water or a shorter steep keeps the brighter top notes forward and the body lighter. Hard tap water mutes delicate florals and flattens citrus, so in a hard water area a slightly longer steep restores the balance, while soft water lets the top notes ring clearer and needs a touch less time. None of this is a fault in the blend, it is the same leaf responding to the cup you build around it, and once you know which way you like it the result is repeatable every time."
