How does Bigelow "decafeinate" their green tea ? ... CO2 or Ethyl Acetate - Why is this important info not shown on the Bigelow label(s) anywhere ?

This is Bigelow's statement about the process to decaffeinate their Green tea : "For our Green Teas, we use a carbon dioxide process. In the carbon dioxide (CO2) process, moistened tea leaves are first treated with heat and pressure and then treated with carbon dioxide, a natural gas. The carbon dioxide bonds with the caffeine and both are evaporated. "

Does anybody know if this tea is decaffeinated by effervescence? This method preserves almost all of the polyphenols.

There are 2 terms on the box that are very important to understand in relationship to the polyphenols: organic and naturally decaffeinated. Organic means the plants have been grown under strict guidelines to not use chemical fertilizers, and pesticides, which can harm the polyphenols in the plants. The term Naturally decaffeinated can mean one of two things:1) the plant itself is caffeine free, 2) or the process used to decaffeinate is natural, "effervescence."

how is this tea decaffeinated?

For our Green Teas, we use a carbon dioxide process. In the carbon dioxide (CO2) process, moistened tea leaves are first treated with heat and pressure and then treated with carbon dioxide, a natural gas. The carbon dioxide bonds with the caffeine and both are evaporated.

Paid in vicinity of $13.00 sometime in December. Now in the $16 range. Why?

Sellers on Amazon are not like grocery stores which try to maintain level pricing . . . sometimes a product is sold at the same price by several sellers; other times, there ae price differences. At $16, it still 13 cents per bag, delivered to your house if you're a Prime Customer. No bad, still.

Smooth, soothing, and perfect any time of day!

Bigelow Green Tea is one of my favorites! It has a clean, mild flavor with no bitterness, and I love that it’s decaffeinated, so I can enjoy it in the evening, too. Each bag brews consistently well, and the aroma is calming! Great quality and great value!

Good basic tea

My hub is particular with his tea. He only likes it cold and unsweetened. This one passes the test. He says it tastes like bubblegum for some reason. lol I guess I can see that. It's just plain good. I prefer hot but this one is good both ways and doesn't need anything added to "fix" the flavor.

A great green tea for your health.

Smooth green tea flavor without caffeine affecting your sleep schedule. Bigelow's stated CO2 method of decaffeination maintains most of the antioxidants in the tea. Bigelow's FAQ also states that the teabags for their products are composed of a blend of wood pulp & abaca fiber and maybe some plant starch so you don't have to worry about microplastics.

This Matcha Green Tea ROCKS! It is REALLY GOOD!

I love this flavor tea. I stumbled on it. I find it relaxing to drink and it is pretty low in caffeine. A great alternative to coffee! I don't need to add any cream or sugar and I can drink it all day long. I bought it at one grocery store but when I went back for it other times it was never in stock. I went to my other BIGGER grocery store and they didn't carry this flavor. Thankfully, I found it on Amazon! THANK YOU, AMAZON! I was never a tea drinker until this tea. I didn't LOVE that I had to purchase six packs--but this tells you how good the taste is, at least for this non-tea drinker! It is effective in helping me get my fluids in and gives me a variety in what I drink in the day and I can make different sizes and make it warm or cold!

AMAZING!

Have not had a Bigelow Tea I have not liked. Never knew they had a blueberry flavor, and I love blueberries. This one does not disappoint. Just a nice hint of blueberry and does not need any sweeteners. Other than the mint green tea, this one is my favorite!
