Evening black-tea drinkers
If you want a familiar black-tea brew with supper while reducing caffeine, compare the blends you would enjoy drinking and check any stated residual-caffeine information. Decaf is not a promise of zero caffeine.
Who is an 80-bag decaf box for?
An 80-bag box makes sense when you want decaffeinated black tea for regular suppers and the exact pack count matters.
Shoppers looking for exactly 80 bags
An 80-bag box avoids substituting a nearby 70-bag or 160-bag format by mistake. Check the count on the particular listing and pack, especially when a brand sells several sizes.
Shoppers focused on sourcing
If organic or Fairtrade tea is a purchase requirement, check those details on the specific 80-bag product rather than assuming they apply across a brand's range.
What should you check before choosing?
Start with the 80-bag count and the kind of evening drink you want. Then compare the blend, preparation instructions and any sourcing requirements.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Caffeine | Check whether the tea is decaffeinated rather than caffeine-free. Compare any stated amount using its cup size and brewing time; Yorkshire Tea states 1.5–2 mg per 200 ml cup brewed for five minutes. | I want black tea with supper but prefer to reduce caffeine. If I need to avoid it completely, I would choose a drink labelled caffeine-free instead. |
| Pack size | Confirm that the particular box contains 80 tea bags. Check the pack as well as the listing when several sizes appear under the same brand. | Exactly 80 bags suits my plans; a 70-bag or 160-bag box is not the same purchase. |
| Tea profile | Read the blend description and ingredient label. Yorkshire Tea describes its Decaf as strong, while Twinings describes Everyday Decaffeinated as hearty and well-rounded; these are brand descriptions, not comparative taste-test results. | I still want an everyday black-tea cup, so the described blend matters more to me than the word 'decaf' alone. |
| Preparation | Follow the instructions for the product you buy rather than assuming every decaf tea uses the same infusion time. Tetley gives a 2–3 minute brewing recommendation for its 80-bag tea. | When making tea alongside supper, I want instructions for the actual box in my cupboard. |
| Sourcing | Look for organic or Fairtrade information on the exact variant. Clipper identifies its 80-bag Organic Everyday Decaf as organic and Fairtrade. | Organic or Fairtrade sourcing is part of my choice, not a feature I would infer from a brand name. |
What is easy to overlook?
-
Assuming decaf means no caffeine
Yorkshire Tea states that a 200 ml cup of its Decaf brewed for five minutes contains 1.5–2 mg of caffeine. Oxford Health CAMHS guidance advises avoiding caffeinated drinks for 5–6 hours before bed.
Choose decaf if reducing caffeine meets your needs. If complete avoidance matters, check that your alternative drink is labelled caffeine-free.
-
Picking the right brand in the wrong box size
Tesco's catalogue shows PG Tips decaf in 70-bag and 160-bag formats. Neither satisfies a requirement for exactly 80 bags.
Check the tea-bag count for the specific variant before adding it to your basket.
-
Relying on an unclear caffeine percentage
Twinings gives conflicting residual-caffeine percentages on its Everyday Decaffeinated product page. They cannot provide a clear threshold for choosing that tea.
If you need a precise caffeine limit, check the current pack or ask Twinings for clarification before buying.
Which brand ranges are relevant?
These brand references concern particular decaf listings and formats, not every tea each brand makes.
Tesco
Tesco Decaff Original Tea is listed as an 80-bag, 250 g pack.
- The listed count meets the exact 80-bag requirement.
- Check the current pack for ingredients and preparation details before choosing it for your evening cup.
Tetley
Tetley Decaffeinated is an 80-bag, 250 g black-tea option.
- Its decaffeinated black-tea format fits a familiar evening brew.
- Do not treat caffeine-free wording as a measured guarantee of zero caffeine.
Yorkshire Tea
Yorkshire Tea describes its Decaf as a strong blend of Kenyan black tea; an 80-bag box is listed.
- Yorkshire Tea states a residual-caffeine amount of 1.5–2 mg per 200 ml cup brewed for five minutes.
- That stated amount means this tea is not a caffeine-free choice.
Twinings
Twinings describes its 80-bag Everyday Decaffeinated as a hearty, well-rounded blend made with Kenyan teas.
- The Everyday Decaffeinated listing specifies 80 tea bags and a 250 g pack.
- Its product-page caffeine percentages conflict; clarify the amount if a precise limit affects your choice.
Clipper
Clipper Organic Everyday Decaf is an 80-bag black-tea option described by Clipper as organic and Fairtrade.
- Clipper also states that it uses carbon-dioxide decaffeination for this tea.
- Decaffeinated does not, by itself, establish that a prepared cup contains no caffeine.
PG Tips
PG Tips is another decaf black-tea brand to consider if the box size is flexible.
- Tesco's catalogue shows PG Tips decaf in 70-bag and 160-bag formats.
- Those listed formats do not meet an exact 80-bag requirement; check the count of any other variant you consider.

Questions about evening decaf tea
Is decaf black tea caffeine-free?
Not necessarily. Yorkshire Tea states that its Decaf contains 1.5–2 mg of caffeine per 200 ml cup brewed for five minutes. If you need to avoid caffeine completely, choose a drink labelled caffeine-free rather than relying on the word 'decaf'.
Which of these teas come in an 80-bag box?
Listings identify 80-bag decaf options from Tesco, Tetley, Yorkshire Tea, Twinings Everyday and Clipper Organic Everyday. Check the particular variant before buying: Tesco's catalogue also shows PG Tips decaf in 70-bag and 160-bag formats.
How long should I brew decaf tea for supper?
Use the instructions for your particular tea rather than one timing for every brand. Tetley recommends 2–3 minutes for its 80-bag decaf tea; Yorkshire Tea's stated caffeine amount is based on a cup brewed for five minutes, so keep that preparation condition in mind when reading the figure.
What should I check on an 80-bag tea box?
Confirm the tea-bag count, read the current ingredients and allergen information, and check the brewing instructions. Pack details matter because a brand can sell several sizes and product information can change.
Can I use Twinings Everyday Decaffeinated for a precise caffeine limit?
Do not rely on its conflicting product-page percentages for a precise limit. Check the current physical pack or ask Twinings to clarify the residual-caffeine information before choosing it on that basis.
