For exactly 240 separate decaf coffee bags, Taylors of Harrogate specifies packs of 10, making 24 packs the countable option—not a single 240-bag carton. If guests can measure coffee into cups instead, instant decaf jars offer a different hot-water serving format, but they do not meet a 240-bag requirement.
If 240 is a fixed bag count for a brunch or repeated gatherings, Taylors of Harrogate’s 10-bag packs give you a clear calculation: 24 packs contain 240 bags. Confirm that the retailer can supply the full order.
Coffee bags can be prepared in a cup with hot water. M&S describes its decaffeinated bags as individually wrapped for single-serve use, which may matter if guests will help themselves.
Nescafé and Kenco offer instant decaf jars for preparation with hot water. They suit a set-up where someone can portion each cup, rather than hand every guest a separate coffee bag.
Decide whether the requirement is 240 physical bags or simply decaf coffee for guests; that distinction determines which formats are worth checking.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Exact bag count | Taylors of Harrogate specifies 10 Decaffé coffee bags per pack; 24 packs contain 240 bags. Confirm the retailer can supply 24 packs and check their dates before ordering. | I need 240 separate bags that I can count out, rather than a jar of coffee or an assumed single catering carton. |
| Serving format | Check whether bags are individually wrapped if that matters for self-service. M&S describes its decaffeinated coffee bags as individually wrapped, but confirm the pack count before planning a 240-bag order. | Guests will help themselves, so I would prefer a separate portion for each cup without measuring coffee. |
| Instant preparation | Check the preparation directions for the exact jar. Nescafé gives one teaspoon (1.8 g) with 200 ml water for Original Decaf; that is not a serving rule for other products. | I can provide cups, hot water and a spoon, and a fixed count of coffee bags is not essential. |
| Pack information | Read the current pack for ingredients, allergens and decaf wording before serving. Do not treat decaffeinated as a promise of zero caffeine. | I want to check the coffee guests will actually receive, particularly if someone asks about an ingredient or avoids caffeine strictly. |
Taylors of Harrogate specifies 10 bags per pack. The 240-bag total is a calculation from 24 packs, not a specification for a single carton.
Write the order as 24 × 10-bag packs and confirm the retailer can supply that quantity.

Read the ingredients and allergen information on the packs received before offering them to guests.
