For a planned supply of 240 decaf tea bags, check the decaf label and combine pack sizes: Tesco Groceries lists Tesco Decaff Original in 80-bag packs, Tetley and Yorkshire Tea in 160- and 80-bag packs, and Clipper in 40-bag packs. That gives you a choice between three Tesco boxes, two Tetley or Yorkshire Tea boxes, or six Clipper boxes; decaf does not necessarily mean caffeine-free, so check the exact pack if residual caffeine matters to you.
If you are planning tea for several weeks or shared study sessions, count the bags across the whole basket. Check that every pack says decaf rather than choosing an ordinary 240-bag black-tea box by quantity alone.
If residual caffeine matters to you, do not treat decaf as caffeine-free. Yorkshire Tea states that its Decaf contains an average 1.5–2 mg of caffeine per 200 ml cup brewed for five minutes; that figure does not describe other brands or brewing methods.
If organic, Fairtrade or other sourcing claims influence your choice, check them on the particular pack you intend to buy. A claim for one product or pack size should not be assumed to apply to every tea from that brand.
Start with the decaf label and a bag-count combination that reaches 240, then compare the pack details that matter for your drinks.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Decaf status and count | Check that each pack says decaf or decaffeinated. Tesco Groceries lists three Tesco Decaff Original 80-packs, a Tetley or Yorkshire Tea 160-pack plus an 80-pack, or six Clipper 40-packs as ways to total 240 bags. | I want enough decaf bags for revision sessions without mistaking a similarly sized ordinary tea box for decaf. |
| Residual caffeine | Read the exact pack and any stated serving basis. Yorkshire Tea gives an average of 1.5–2 mg per 200 ml cup brewed for five minutes; Tetley describes its 160-pack as decaffeinated to 0.2%, which is not a per-cup figure. | For later cups, I want to know what a caffeine statement actually measures before relying on it. |
| Brewing and ingredients | Compare the ingredients and preparation instructions on the chosen pack. The Tesco Groceries listing for Tetley Decaffeinated 160 recommends brewing for 2–3 minutes before adding milk. | I prefer a familiar black-tea drink and want brewing instructions I can follow for each cup. |
| Sourcing and storage | Check organic, Fairtrade and packaging statements on the exact variant. Tesco Groceries identifies its listed Clipper 40-pack as organic and Fairtrade; the Yorkshire Tea 160-pack listing says to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. | Sourcing claims matter to me, and I need to store the planned supply as the packs instruct. |
A bag count tells you how much tea is in the box, not whether it is decaffeinated. Ordinary black-tea packs can appear alongside decaf products in a retailer’s tea listings.
Check the product title and the delivered pack for decaf or decaffeinated wording, then add up the counts of the decaf packs you choose.
Decaf tea can still contain caffeine. Yorkshire Tea’s stated 1.5–2 mg figure applies to an average cup made with 200 ml of water and brewed for five minutes, not to every cup of decaf tea.
If the amount matters to you, check the exact product’s caffeine information and its preparation basis rather than applying another brand’s figure.
Organic, Fairtrade, packaging and decaffeination-process statements describe particular attributes; they do not establish how a tea will taste to every drinker.
Use those claims to assess your sourcing preferences, and consider brewing instructions and flavour descriptions separately.
These pack examples help explain ways to reach 240 bags; they are not a list of products available from one retailer.
Tesco Groceries lists its Decaff Original Tea in an 80-bag pack, making three packs a 240-bag combination.
Tesco Groceries lists Tetley Decaffeinated in 160- and 80-bag packs, which can be paired to reach 240.
Tesco Groceries lists Yorkshire Tea Decaf 160- and 80-bag packs for a two-box, 240-bag combination.
Tesco Groceries lists a PG Tips Decaf 160-bag pack, but that pack alone does not meet a 240-bag plan.
Tesco Groceries identifies its listed Clipper Fairtrade Organic Decaf Tea as a 40-bag pack; six of those packs total 240.
These packs offer two ways to plan for 240 bags: pair the Tetley 160- and 80-bag packs, or use three of the listed Clipper 80-bag packs. Check the count and label of each pack before ordering.

Pair this 160-bag pack with the listed Tetley 80-bag pack for 240 decaf tea bags in two boxes. The Tesco Groceries listing for the matching Tetley 160-pack recommends brewing for 2–3 minutes before adding milk. Its “decaffeinated to 0.2%” statement is not a per-cup caffeine figure; check the current pack if residual caffeine matters to you.

Three of these 80-bag decaf packs total 240 bags. The product description identifies organically grown black tea and Fairtrade sourcing; check the delivered pack for the claims and caffeine information relevant to you. This is an 80-bag variant, distinct from the Clipper 40-pack described above.

Add this 80-bag pack to the listed Tetley 160-bag pack for a total of 240 decaf tea bags. Its product description recommends brewing for 2–3 minutes before adding milk. Check this pack’s own label if you need information about residual caffeine.
Not necessarily. Yorkshire Tea states that an average cup of its Decaf contains 1.5–2 mg caffeine when made with 200 ml of water and brewed for five minutes. Tetley’s statement that its 160-pack is decaffeinated to 0.2% does not give a per-cup amount, so check the exact pack if residual caffeine matters to you.
Tesco Groceries lists pack sizes that allow three Tesco Decaff Original 80-packs, a Tetley 160-pack plus an 80-pack, a Yorkshire Tea Decaf 160-pack plus an 80-pack, or six Clipper 40-packs. The Joybuy products shown here also include a Clipper 80-bag variant, of which three total 240; check each pack’s current count and decaf label.
Follow the instructions on the particular pack. The Tesco Groceries listing for Tetley Decaffeinated 160 recommends brewing for 2–3 minutes before adding milk, while its Yorkshire Tea Decaf 160 listing says to store the tea in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Use the delivered pack for the final ingredients and allergen check. Tesco Groceries notes that food products can be reformulated and advises shoppers to read the product label rather than rely solely on website information.
