Choose 240 decaf tea bags if you will use them regularly and six smaller boxes suit your storage space: RM Wholesale lists its Tetley 240-bag offer as six packs of 40, not one catering carton. If that is more tea than you need for after-dinner cups, Tesco lists 160-bag decaf black teas from Yorkshire Tea, Tetley and PG Tips; a smaller pack gives you another way to settle on a blend before buying more.
If you want decaf black tea as part of an evening routine, choose a bag count you can use and store comfortably. A 160-bag pack is an alternative to buying 240 at once; a multipack makes more sense when tea is served often.
When the total bag count matters, check the physical pack breakdown as well. RM Wholesale lists Tetley's 240-bag decaf offer as six boxes of 40, which is different from one large catering carton.
If organic ingredients, Fairtrade sourcing or the declared decaffeination process influence your choice, compare those statements on the exact product. Clipper describes its 40-bag Everyday Decaf as organic black tea traded in compliance with Fairtrade standards and says it uses carbon dioxide for decaffeination.
Start with how many bags you will use, then compare the blend and the details on the exact pack. A 240-bag total does not, by itself, tell you how many boxes will arrive.
Choose when: You need 240 decaf bags and can use six separate boxes of 40, as specified in RM Wholesale's Tetley listing.
Bear in mind: That listing does not establish that you will receive one catering carton.
Choose when: You make decaf black tea regularly but prefer to store fewer than 240 bags; Tesco lists 160-bag options from Yorkshire Tea, Tetley and PG Tips.
Bear in mind: One 160-bag pack will not meet a requirement for 240 bags.
Choose when: Trying a blend or checking sourcing details matters more than buying 240 bags at once. Twinings lists an 80-bag Everyday Decaffeinated pack; Clipper describes a 40-bag organic and Fairtrade Everyday Decaf.
Bear in mind: Reaching 240 bags would take several smaller packs.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Bag count and format | Read the total bag count and the number of boxes. RM Wholesale specifies 6 × 40 bags for its Tetley 240-bag offer; check the pack arrangement if you need one carton. | I make tea often enough to use 240 bags, or I would rather store a smaller pack. In its May 2025 study of more than 1,000 Britons, the UK Tea & Infusions Association reported that 93% preferred the convenience of making tea with a bag; that figure is about bag use, not decaf or preferred pack size. |
| Tea type and flavour | Look for decaffeinated black tea if that is the style you want after dinner. Read the blend description and brewing directions for the exact product rather than assuming all decaf teas taste alike. | I want a familiar black-tea cup, perhaps with milk. The UK Tea & Infusions Association reported in May 2025 that 71% of more than 1,000 Britons surveyed named traditional black tea, with or without milk, as their main infusion; this was not a measure of decaf or evening purchases. |
| Decaf designation | Confirm that the selected pack says decaffeinated. If a precise caffeine limit matters, check current product information: Twinings' Everyday Decaffeinated page gives inconsistent residual-caffeine figures. | I am choosing decaf for an evening cup, but I do not want to assume that the word means caffeine-free. |
| Sourcing details | Check ingredient and certification statements for the exact variant. Clipper describes its 40-bag Everyday Decaf as organic black tea traded in compliance with Fairtrade standards and says its decaffeination process uses carbon dioxide. | Organic ingredients, Fairtrade sourcing or a declared process may matter more to me than the largest bag count. |
A total of 240 can be made up of smaller retail boxes, which may not suit a requirement for one physical catering pack.
Check both the total and the breakdown. RM Wholesale specifies six 40-bag boxes for its Tetley decaf offer.
Decaffeinated does not establish a universal residual-caffeine figure. Twinings' Everyday Decaffeinated page gives two inconsistent figures for its product.
Check information for the current pack if a precise limit matters; do not rely on a general description of decaf.
Tea blends and their stated brewing times differ, so a large bag count alone cannot tell you whether a cup will suit your taste with or without milk.
Consider a smaller pack when trying an unfamiliar blend, and start with the maker's brewing directions.
Tesco advises that food products can be reformulated, so a product page may not reflect the pack you receive.
Check the current label for the decaf designation, ingredients, net quantity and any information relevant to your purchase.
These product-line details can help narrow a choice; they do not mean that every pack size or variant is available from the same seller.
Tesco lists Yorkshire Tea Decaf in a 160-bag, 500g format. Yorkshire Tea describes its decaf blend as designed to retain the character of its tea after caffeine removal.
Tesco lists a 160-bag Tetley decaf pack, while RM Wholesale lists a separate 240-bag decaf offer made up of six 40-bag boxes.
Tesco and Sainsbury's list PG Tips Decaf as a 160-bag black-tea product; Tesco specifies 464g.
Twinings describes its 80-bag Everyday Decaffeinated as a Kenyan-tea blend with a hearty, well-rounded character.
Clipper describes its 40-bag Everyday Decaf as organic black tea traded in compliance with Fairtrade standards and says it uses carbon dioxide for decaffeination.
Tesco lists its own Decaff Original as an 80-bag, 250g tea and gives brewing guidance of three to five minutes.
These options cover smaller and 160-bag choices for after-dinner decaf tea. Check the bag count on the exact variant if you need 240.

A 250g decaf black tea to consider for an after-dinner cup. If you need tea bags or a particular number of servings, confirm this variant's format and bag count before buying.
No. RM Wholesale specifies that its Tetley 240-bag decaf offer contains six separate packs of 40. If one physical carton matters, check the pack breakdown rather than relying on the total alone.
Do not assume so. Twinings' Everyday Decaffeinated page gives inconsistent residual-caffeine figures; if a precise limit matters, check current product information rather than treating the word decaf as an exact specification.
Start with the instructions for the exact blend. Twinings suggests two to three minutes for Everyday Decaffeinated, while Joybuy's Yorkshire Tea Decaf 500g listing says four to five minutes. You can then adjust the brew to your flavour preference.
Check that the exact variant is labelled decaffeinated, then read its bag count, ingredients, net quantity and storage instructions. Tesco cautions that food product information can change, so use the current pack when those details affect your choice.
