    "excerpt": "A proper caffeine-free pot for four to six: decaf English breakfast brewed with extra leaf so it stays strong to the last cup.",
    "content_text": "A good decaf pot lets late-afternoon guests, anyone cutting down on caffeine, and pregnant friends have a proper cup without lying awake afterwards. The one thing to get right is strength: decaf needs a little more leaf and a slightly longer steep so the pot still tastes of real tea by the second cup.\n\nSource: Teas.co.uk.
