Households using a lot of decaf tea
If you need exactly 240 bags in one order, compare a single bulk box with a case of smaller packs. Cornish Tea & Coffee lists one 240-bag box; RM Wholesale lists six Tetley packs of 40.
Who is each format for?
Shoppers adding tea to a grocery delivery
If combining orders matters more than receiving exactly 240 bags, a 160-bag decaf pack may fit your usual supermarket basket. Tesco and Morrisons list 160-bag options from some of the named brands.
Shared kitchens and guest areas
Individually wrapped bags may be useful when tea is set out separately for guests or colleagues. Vending Superstore lists Yorkshire Tea decaf in a 200-pack and Clipper decaf in a 250-pack; neither is an exact 240-bag format.
What should you check before ordering?
One 240-bag box
Choose it when: exactly 240 bags in one product is the priority; Cornish Tea & Coffee lists a decaf black-tea box with six inner sleeves.
Consider: this is a specialist tea order, so check whether delivery works for your address and basket.
Six Tetley packs
Choose them when: you want Tetley and separate 40-bag packs are convenient to store or share; RM Wholesale lists six packs totalling 240.
Consider: this is a case of smaller packs, not one 240-bag retail carton.
Supermarket decaf packs
Choose them when: adding tea to a regular grocery delivery matters more than an exact 240-bag total; Tesco and Morrisons list 160-bag decaf formats.
Consider: one 160-bag pack falls short of 240, while additional packs change the total bag count.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Tea and bag count | Confirm that the exact variant says decaf or decaffeinated black tea. Check its bag count: a large ordinary-tea carton is not necessarily decaf. | I need decaffeinated black tea, not an ordinary 240-bag carton or a different kind of tea. |
| Pack construction | Distinguish one box with six inner sleeves from a 6 × 40 case. Confirm the number of outer packs you will receive. | Would one bulk box fit my cupboard, or would separately usable smaller packs be easier to store or share? |
| Delivery fit | Check delivery eligibility for your address and chosen slot. Confirm any basket conditions before placing the order. | Adding tea to my usual grocery delivery may matter more than getting exactly 240 bags. |
| Storage and label | Follow the delivered pack’s storage directions and check its current ingredients information. Ocado lists cool, dry storage away from direct sunlight for Yorkshire Decaf. | For a larger order, I want a storage format I can manage and a current label I can check if ingredients matter. |
Common ordering mistakes
-
Choosing a 240-bag carton without checking the tea
Tesco lists an ordinary black-tea product with 240 bags as well as a separate decaf range. The count alone does not identify a decaf product.
Check the exact product title and ingredients statement before adding it to your basket.
-
Assuming every 240-bag listing is one retail box
Cornish Tea & Coffee describes one box with six inner sleeves, whereas RM Wholesale lists six separate Tetley packs of 40. Both total 240 bags, but they are packed differently.
Look for wording such as ‘six sleeves’ or ‘6 × 40’ and choose the arrangement that suits your storage or sharing plans.
-
Relying on an older online ingredients description
Waitrose advises that product recipes can change. An earlier listing may not reflect the food information on the pack delivered to you.
If ingredients, allergens or a strict caffeine-related requirement matter, check the current pack label and ask the retailer or manufacturer about anything unclear.
Brand and pack-size references
These formats help distinguish the named decaf brands; a brand reference does not mean that every pack size suits a 240-bag order.
Tetley
RM Wholesale lists Tetley Decaf as six 40-bag packs totalling 240. Tesco and Morrisons list 160-bag decaf formats.
- The six-pack meets an exact 240-bag total.
- It is not one 240-bag retail box; a single 160-bag pack also falls short.
Yorkshire Tea
Tesco and Morrisons list 160-bag Yorkshire Decaf formats. Ocado lists an 80-bag pack, while Vending Superstore lists 200 individually wrapped bags.
- The listed formats offer a choice between a grocery pack and individually wrapped bags.
- None of those listed formats contains exactly 240 bags on its own.
PG Tips
Tesco lists PG Tips Decaf in a 160-bag format; Ocado lists a 70-bag decaf format.
- The 160-bag pack can be considered for an existing supermarket order.
- One listed decaf pack does not meet an exact 240-bag requirement.
Twinings
Twinings Everyday Decaffeinated and English Breakfast Decaffeinated are described in 40- and 80-bag formats.
- These smaller formats suit an order that does not require bulk volume.
- Check the precise variant and count if you need 240 decaf black-tea bags.
Clipper
Morrisons lists a 40-bag Organic Fairtrade Decaf format, while Vending Superstore lists 250 individually wrapped Organic Fairtrade Everyday Decaf bags.
- The wrapped format offers separate bags for shared service.
- The listed wrapped pack contains 250 bags, not exactly 240.
Tesco
Tesco Groceries lists its own-label Decaff Original Tea as an 80-pack.
- The 80-pack is a smaller decaf option for a grocery basket.
- One pack does not supply 240 bags; check that any larger Tesco tea carton is also labelled decaf.
Joybuy decaf tea option
This 160-bag Tetley pack is an option if a smaller decaf black-tea format suits your order; it is not an exact 240-bag pack.

Tetley Decaf Tea Bags, 160 bags, 500g
If a smaller pack suits your order, this is decaffeinated black tea; one 160-bag pack does not provide exactly 240 bags. Check delivery eligibility and the delivered pack’s current ingredients information where relevant.
Questions about ordering decaf tea
Can I order exactly 240 decaf tea bags in the UK?
Yes. Cornish Tea & Coffee lists one 240-bag decaf black-tea box with six inner sleeves; RM Wholesale lists six 40-bag Tetley Decaf packs totalling 240. Check which pack arrangement you are ordering.
Will one supermarket decaf pack give me 240 bags?
Not with the 160-bag Yorkshire Tea, Tetley and PG Tips formats shown in the cited Tesco and Morrisons listings. Check the count on the exact product before ordering; one 160-bag pack falls short of 240.
How should I store a bulk order of decaf tea?
Follow the directions on the delivered pack. Ocado’s Yorkshire Decaf listing specifies a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, while the Cornish Tea & Coffee 240-bag box has six foil-wrapped inner sleeves.
What should I check if ingredients or allergens matter?
Check the ingredients information on the exact pack delivered, rather than relying only on an older online listing. If anything relevant to an allergy or intolerance is unclear, ask the retailer or manufacturer before use.
Does decaf on the label guarantee zero caffeine?
Do not treat ‘decaf’ as a zero-caffeine statement. If a specific caffeine requirement matters to you, check what the exact product label says and ask the manufacturer about anything unclear.
