Choose an exact 240-bag box if the recipient drinks decaf black tea regularly and one large carton suits the gift: Cornish Tea & Cornish Coffee lists Decaffeinated Smugglers Brew in that format, while RM Wholesale lists 240 Tetley bags as six separate 40-bag boxes. Clipper’s 250-envelope catering pack is an alternative when individually wrapped servings and organic tea matter more than the exact count. Check the chosen blend and pack details rather than assuming all decaf tea is caffeine-free or packaged alike.
A large pack can be a practical gift when the recipient makes decaf tea often. Cornish Tea & Cornish Coffee’s single 240-bag box offers a different way to give it from Clipper’s 250 individually wrapped catering envelopes.
If the tea is for a shared cupboard, check the total bag count and how it is divided. Tesco lists mainstream decaf black teas in smaller retail formats, while RM Wholesale’s 240-bag Tetley offer consists of six 40-bag boxes.
Clipper Tea Shop lists organically grown black tea in its 250-envelope decaf catering pack. Its separate 80-bag decaf product also carries a Fairtrade trading statement; check the credentials on the exact pack you intend to give.
Start with the total count and pack configuration, then consider how the recipient will store, serve and choose their tea.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Bag count | Check the declared total and whether it means one carton, several boxes or a catering case. Cornish Tea & Cornish Coffee lists one 240-bag box; RM Wholesale lists six Tetley boxes of 40. | I want the gift to contain 240 bags, and I need to know whether it arrives as one box or several smaller ones. |
| Serving format | Look for sealed inner sleeves or individual envelopes. Cornish Tea & Cornish Coffee lists six sleeves in its 240-bag box; Clipper Tea Shop lists 250 catering envelopes. | If one person will use the tea gradually, sealed sections may suit the cupboard. For guests or a tea station, I may prefer separate envelopes. |
| Tea and caffeine | Read the exact blend’s ingredients and decaffeination statement. Twinings says its Everyday Decaffeinated tea is decaffeinated to 0.02% caffeine; that figure describes that product, not every decaf tea. | I want a decaf blend the recipient will enjoy, but I would not treat the word ‘decaf’ as a promise of zero caffeine. |
| Organic and Fairtrade statements | Check credentials on the chosen size and variant. Clipper Tea Shop lists organically grown black tea for its 250-envelope pack; its separate 80-bag decaf listing states that its tea is traded in compliance with Fairtrade standards. | Organic tea matters more to me than reaching exactly 240 bags. If Fairtrade matters too, I will check the statement on the particular pack. |
| Flavour style | Distinguish plain decaf black tea from flavoured blends. Twinings lists bergamot and lemon flavourings in its Decaf Earl Grey ingredients. | The recipient usually drinks Earl Grey, so a large box of plain black tea may not match their usual choice. |
A total of 240 can refer to a multi-pack rather than a single carton. RM Wholesale’s Tetley listing, for example, contains six 40-bag boxes.
Confirm both the total bag count and the number of separate boxes before choosing the gift.
Decaf labelling does not, by itself, establish zero caffeine. Twinings states that the tea in its Everyday Decaffeinated product is decaffeinated to 0.02% caffeine.
Check the exact pack’s caffeine information. If avoiding caffeine is medically necessary, seek appropriate professional advice rather than relying on the word ‘decaf’ alone.
A large gift for one person may be used gradually. Cornish Tea & Cornish Coffee’s 240 bags are divided into six sleeves, while Clipper’s 250-bag catering product uses individual envelopes.
Choose the arrangement that suits where and how the recipient will make tea, and follow the pack’s storage instructions.

For a regular decaf black-tea drinker, this 160-bag, 500g pack offers a single retail pack but falls short of a 240-bag gift. Check the wrapping and the exact pack’s decaffeination information if either matters to the recipient.
Yes: Cornish Tea & Cornish Coffee lists Decaffeinated Smugglers Brew as one 240-bag box. RM Wholesale’s 240-bag Tetley listing is a different arrangement—six separate boxes of 40.
Consider Clipper’s 250-envelope Organic Everyday Decaf pack when individual servings and organically grown black tea matter more than hitting an exact 240-bag count. It is a catering format, so check whether that presentation suits the recipient.
Do not assume it contains none: Twinings states that the tea in its Everyday Decaffeinated product is decaffeinated to 0.02% caffeine. Check the exact blend’s label; for a medically necessary caffeine restriction, seek appropriate professional advice.
Check the blend rather than choosing by bag count alone. Twinings lists bergamot and lemon flavourings in its Decaf Earl Grey, while Cornish Tea & Cornish Coffee’s 240-bag option is described as decaffeinated black tea.
Consider how the bags are divided and follow the pack’s storage instructions. Cornish Tea & Cornish Coffee lists six sleeves in its 240-bag box, whereas Clipper’s 250-bag catering pack uses individual envelopes.
