About the Brand
The Bigelow Tea Story Beginning the moment our founder, Ruth Campbell Bigelow created "Constant Comment" Tea in her kitchen in 1945, our family has focused on just one thing trying to make the finest teas possible. Over the years we have introduced many new flavors as well as concepts in tea. Today we offer a selection of deliciously different blends of teas and green teas, a wide variety of herbal teas and teas flavored with real fruit juice. Today Bigelow Tea is the number one specialty tea company in the United States. And to think it all began with the first legendary black tea flavored with golden orange rind and sweet spice "Constant Comment"Tea. Bigelow takes immense pride in providing the tea drinking community with the best tea at a great value. We only use hand- picked teas, real spices, flavors and herbs. The flavors and blends we have created are second to none. Some of our teas contain up to twenty different ingredients! And because tea is a leaf that can dry out we take steps to protect it. To keep the teas fresh, we seal our tea bags in protective packets. We simply have to protect those delightful flavors. That's why a cup of Bigelow Tea is aromatic and delicious; a true indulgence for the senses.

Questions about Bigelow Decaffeinated Spiced Chai Black Tea Bags, 20 Count Box (Pack of 6) Decaf Black Tea, 120 Tea Bags Total
Q:
Does anybody know if this tea is decaffeinated by effervescence? This method preserves almost all of the polyphenols.
Answer: 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."
Answer: I called Bigelow and they said that they use the CO2 method of decaffeinating they tea. And I read a study that said that Bigelow decaf actually has more polyphenols than their regular green tea for some reason.
Answer: On the Bigelow website it says "(caffeine removed with carbon dioxide)" https://www.bigelowtea.com/Teas/Tea-Type/Green-Tea/Green-Tea-Decaf-40-Count
Q:
How does Bigelow "decafeinate" their green tea ? ... CO2 or Ethyl Acetate - Why is this important info not shown on the Bigelow label(s) anywhere ?
Answer: https://www.bigelowtea.com/Special-Pages/Customer-Service/FAQs/Nutritional-and-Dietary-Information/Which-method-do-you-use-to-decaffeinate-your-teas
Answer: I called them years ago and was told CO2. It's a good company so I firmly believe this process has not changed.
Q:
Paid in vicinity of $13.00 sometime in December. Now in the $16 range. Why?
Answer: 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.
Answer: I don't know, except that maybe you are buying from a different seller? Sometimes the same item can have HUGE price differences from different sellers. You really have to scroll through to find the same item (check price per ounce, # of servings, number of items, etc).
Q:
how is this tea decaffeinated?
Answer: 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.
Answer: I bought it because it is organic and most teas are covered with pesticides. I have been making iced tea for summer and it is very good.
Answer: According to their website Bigelow uses heat, pressure and carbon dioxide to decaffeinate their green teas.
Answer: Go to the bigelow site for the answer to this. They explain in detail from what I remember, and they use the healthiest method which is why I went with them...
Answer: I'm not sure; however, I'm limited to the amount of caffeine intake that I can tolerate, and this works for me.
Answer: I've looked at every side of the box and can't find the process mentioned.
Answer: Read questions and answers
Q:
is this pure green tea-- no flavors added? I hope so!

Q:

Answer: I’m fairly certain that you are looking at small pieces of orange rinds in the tea bags.
Answer: Start with Amazon.
Q:
Do they really give 6 packs of 20?
Answer: Yes, the box has a set of 6 packages with 20 in each box. After trying two packets, I had to throw away all six boxes because the tea tasted like dirt and mold. Very disappointed.
Answer: They do, my issue with that pack was that we had to throw away all of 6 packs due to the smell paper bags gave to the tea: we tried all and this was not one pack issue, smelled like old wet cloth.
Answer: I only got one box of 20. I don’t know what to do. I’m afraid if I sent back just the one box I won’t get a full refund. I can’t find the answer to this question.
Answer: Yes if you buy that option. You do not have to purchase that many though, you can buy a single box of 20 if you want.
Answer: yes, you get a box like one that stores get, with 6 boxes of tea inside.
Answer: Yes. It's very good value. This is a very mild tea so if you like a bold flavor this sin't the tea for you.

Does This Contain Caffeine?
Answer: This is decaffeinated, after the natural decaffeination process there are 1-8mg of caffeine remaining per tea bag.

Q:
why did i get juts one small box of 20 teabags instead of a 6 pack of them ? $16.99 for 20 teabags is not right
Answer: That’s got to be a mistake. Call customer service. I’m on auto delivery for 6 packs of 20 tea bags and I’ve never had a problem. Call, they’re always so helpful.
Answer: No, it's not. You should have received the 6 pack box. I've ordered it several times and always gotten the 6 pack.
Answer: When I made my purchase, it received a large quantity of boxes (12 I think). I will gladly ship them to you for free. I did not like the tea at all. It has orange and spice flavor.
Answer: You should have received 6 boxes for that price. I would contact them and get it corrected!
Answer: When that happened to me, I returned the order and was told to keep the one box. I think some sellers get away with it sometimes, perhaps often enough that it's worth it. Return your order for a refund and tell them why.
Answer: Call amazon or contact seller
Q:
Is each box filled with 20 individually wrapped tea bags? Some of the reviews state otherwise. Also do you know what the "best enjoyed by" date is?
Answer: Yes, each box has individually wrapped tea bags. The box I'm working on now says "best enjoyed by June 2017".
Answer: Yes, the box is filled with individually, very well wrapped tea bags.
Answer: I just opened a new box of Bigelow green tea with peach. There are 20 individually wrapped tea bags inside.
Answer: Yes, individually wrapped. Best enjoyed by means it may begin to lose flavor and freshness after that date. Hope this helps!
Q:
is this "full" leaf or is it mainly cut/broken pieces?
Answer: The tea appears to be cut broken pieces in a bag. It does taste delicious the way it is.
Answer: More of the cut/broken pieces. I let it steep for several minutes and then it has a nice full flavor. Hope this helps!
Answer: THis is not a full leaf tea, but a finely blended one.
Answer: broken pieces
Answer: cut broken
Q:
Whats it, chemical additives/stabilizers? Smell (besides the one person who posted)?
Answer: The smell is typical of Earl Grey teas that I have used before, although no decaf tea is going to be as robust taste or smell wise as a non-decaf tea.

Answer: Don’t see anything about add. Or stab. Smell is clove

Q:
I want to order 6 boxes but do not want automatic redelivery. There doesn't seem to be a place for that choice. How can I make a one time order?
Answer: As far as I can remember I just clicked on the BY NOW price which was just above the block to check for automatic delivery and it became a single buy. However I find that I am using it so much and It is very difficult to find Decaf in the local stores that next time I buy I may very well take advantage of the price break and have auto ship every two or three months.
Q:
Does this tea have black pepper in it?
Answer: There is no black pepper in "Constant Comment" Black Tea.
Answer: I have not noticed any pepper taste, I do taste a very light orange rind flavor. I you are allergic to black pepper, please contact Bigelow tea as it may be in the spice blend. Good luck!

Answer: Hi Michael, the six boxes are packed together in a case. The total of the case is 120 bags.
Answer: I ordered this item but they only sent one box. I found the Mighty Leaf decaf Earl Grey in silk pouches is the best yet. Pricier but so worth it if you love Earl Grey.

Product reviews of Bigelow Decaffeinated Spiced Chai Black Tea Bags, 20 Count Box (Pack of 6) Decaf Black Tea, 120 Tea Bags Total
Chris S. : Best flavor tea ever! Not bitter at all.
Bigelow Lemon Lift tea was a complimentary tea at a hotel we stayed at a long time ago. I really liked it and tried to find it in grocery stores once in a while if I thought about it, but couldn't ever find it in Bigelow brand. I've bought several other flavors to try, and they're ok. If you've never tried this flavor, you should. Really mellow, NOT bitter at all. 6 pack of them on Amazon was a really good deal.
alw : Typical decaf tea
I drink my tea without cream or sugar, and in my opinion the normal (caffeinated) version of this tea is the best-tasting tea I've ever had. But the decaf version was a disappointment -- like almost all decaf teas, it's missing all of the complex flavors of a caffeinated black tea, so the overall flavor is weak and bland. At least it doesn't have the fishy flavor that some decaf black teas (like Lipton) often have.
FLtracy : The BEST decaf tea! Replaced my morning coffee.
I have tried MANY a tea brand over the years, and Bigelow is the absolute best. I love that they individually wrap each tea bag, but most important is the flavor. They are the only tea brand IMO that does not leave an aftertaste. I regularly drink their decaf green tea and peppermint tea (both are awesome FYI!), but I have been wanting to cut back on my coffee consumption, even decaf. I know you can find herbal coffee substitutes that swear they are just like coffee, but they are often made from barley and chicory (i.e. grain), which I also want to avoid.
So, I decided to try a black decaf tea, add my organic creamer like I do with my coffee, and see how I like it. First, thank you to Amazon for carrying these Bigelow decaf teas! I searched all over Orlando, FL and couldn't find them anywhere. And, the price with Subscribe and Save cannot be beat.
While waiting for my order to arrive, I tried the Twinings decaf Irish Breakfast Tea (purchased at my local Publix; the one brand of decaf black tea they carry), but it left an aftertaste and was a bit too malty. I needed to add cinnamon and my normal amount of Stevia along with my creamer to make it drinkable. I also tried a Rooibos (do a search for the Rooibos Rocks brand here on Amazon), and while it is excellent, and I will be brewing that as an iced tea, it just wasn't strong enough for my "coffee fix".
This Bigelow decaf English Teatime, however, is just perfect! No aftertaste, and a strong but smooth flavor. I only needed half as much sweetener as I put in my coffee, and no cinnamon. By the time I got to the last of the tea in the cup, the temperature had cooled to almost lukewarm, but it still tasted just as good as the first sip. Lukewarm coffee, though, would have been dumped or reheated.
I actually like this tea BETTER than my coffee! I also can tell my stomach likes it better, too. :)
I cannot recommend this, or any tea from Bigelow, enough. Again, thank you Amazon for carrying it!
MJayy : Just the taste I was looking for
I love drinking Earl Grey tea and find it to be quite the treat when I combined it with this vanilla tea and froth milk (or sweet cream froth when I have a craving for sweets). I did fail to realize the amount I ordered (way too many for one person) so I hope it stays fresh for as long as I have it. Overall, it meets my vanilla flavor expectations.
Jane Deaux : Constant Comment is the best tasting decaf tea ever
Relaxing bedtime treat with great natural flavor. Decaf beverages have been expensive and very difficult to find in grocery stores recently. I wasn't sure I could use all six boxes, but I have already included three boxes in birthday, baby shower and hostess gift baskets and am considering moving up my Amazon subscription reorder date. Individually wrapped tea bags stay fresh a long time and travel well. Tea bag strings and tags are attached without metal staples, making it safe to use in microwave.
PC : My favorite green tea
Pros:
- Cheap
- Nice clean wholesome flavor
- Not grassy like Sencha tea
- Not as full of pesticides and toxins as some other brands, including Celestial
- One study found decaf green tea removed nearly all lead
- EGCG in green tea burns fat
Cons
- Decaf green tea has fewer antioxidents than regular green (around 1/2 as much)
- One study found bigelow had fewer antioxidants than other brands. However, since it is cheaper per bag, I think it may still be more cost effective.
Aunt Paula : Easy to find and order
I love this tea and can't find it in stores anymore especially decaf. I am not a huge tea snob. Bigelow is probably as fancy as I get. So if you're lower middle-class like me, you will be more than satisfied.
Pleasant surprise to find, let alone quite reasonably priced. Every thing went fine from beginning of order to end. When I need that little bump to hit free shipping; I fall back on this tea.
Tammy : A delicious, decaf tea that has the perfect balance of black tea and vanilla
There’s nothing quite like the soothing flavor of the household staple: black tea. But then when you add the subtle flavor of vanilla, you’ve upped the game. It being decaf is even better, because you can enjoy this tea in the evening hours as well. The tea arrived promptly, in a cardboard box wrapped in shrink plastic, just like their teas in the grocery stores. It is a tea that is often out of stock, so buying a few boxes of it on Amazon was a convenient choice. I can recommend this product and seller without hesitation.
redbaron8 : Great tea!!
I have been drinking this tea for better than 30 years, since I was a kid. Best hot with honey, but equally pleasing as iced tea. Excellent blend of black tea, spices and citrus flavors that has been my go to for a long time. Also available in de-caffeinated as well. If you like tea and haven't tried this yet, you're missing out!
Ken : Happy for the decaf version of my favorite hot tea
Im very pleased with the product. A few months ago I decided to mostly eliminate caffeine from my diet; I say mostly because I'm aware that even decaf coffee and tea may have small amounts of caffeine. I really missed constant comment tea though. I'm very glad to find the decaffeinated version. I'm not sure that I could tell the difference in this and the caffeinated version as far as taste and aroma.
Lance : Not much (or any) tea flavor. Just chemical syrupy tasting vanilla.
Get the blueberry flavor. Shame that all their flavor reviews are linked, I'd give that one 5 stars.
I hear there is tea in there, but I don't taste it.
I'm a huge fan of vanilla and black tea. But not this.
The 6 boxes I got are going in the trash.
Claire : Tastes off
I know this is the decaf version, but the flavor tasted off. I've had this tea before but it's never tasted like this. The box also came crushed, but that doesn't really matter because it's just tea bags. I won't buy again.
Maximo : So disappointing
I generally like this Bigelow tea, but I'm not sure where the vendor got these from. The taste is so weak that I have to use 2 bags per cup, just to get some flavor, and then the flavor that you do get has hints of rancid. I'd stay away from this one.
Lisa Loo : Smooth tea, strong, almost sweet. Great flavor.
I love tea. There is nothing that makes me happier than curling up with a good cup of tea, especially in winter. Unfortunately I can't have caffeine so that really limits my tea choices. Before I knew I couldn't tolerate caffeine, my favorite tea was French Vanilla. I searched everywhere for caffeine-free vanilla tea. I was super excited to find it here. I bought a case of this tea, even though I'd never had it before because I really like other flavors of Bigelow tea and I trusted that this one would be no exception. I was not disappointed. This tea is strong, smooth, almost sweet on its own. I'm so happy I found it.
Desert Rat : not the smoothest
Needed to reduce my caffeine intake. Had been drinking Prince of Peace Organic Green Tea (not decaffeinated) which has a smooth, clean, non-bitter flavor. This tea is much "grassier" tasting and a bit bitter. More like Sencha than a Chinese or Taiwanese green tea. Although the packaging is good, the taste is not quite up to the premium price they are charging.
Salem1692 : Very weak in flavor
I had so hoped the decaf would have as much flavoring as the regular Constant Comment but sadly it doesn't. I have drank the regular in loose leaf form since the 60's. Such wonderful memories of a past life...lol. I must partake in decaf more and more now, thus my ordering this brand of decaf. I am very disappointed this decaf didn't meet expectations.
Barbie D : Great decaffeinated tea at a great price
My husband and I have always used and loved Bigelow green tea. As I now need to watch my caffeine intake, I ordered this decaffeinated Bigelow green tea. It is a nice tasting tea and I have been very pleased with it as well.
I recommend this tea.
Tammy : A delicious, decaf tea that has the perfect balance of black tea and vanilla
There’s nothing quite like the soothing flavor of the household staple: black tea. But then when you add the subtle flavor of vanilla, you’ve upped the game. It being decaf is even better, because you can enjoy this tea in the evening hours as well. The tea arrived promptly, in a cardboard box wrapped in shrink plastic, just like their teas in the grocery stores. It is a tea that is often out of stock, so buying a few boxes of it on Amazon was a convenient choice. I can recommend this product and seller without hesitation.
casey weiss : No taste
Not my favorite. On the weak side for me didn't have any taste, not bold and flavorful. I know decaf tea doesn't have same taste as regular. I thought Bigelow would be better. I have this huge box I tried using 2 tea bags it made it bitter. I seem to like the lipton decaf tea better has more flavor. If you like really flavorful and bold. Try allegra decaffeinated black tea. I ordered thru Amazon pantry from whole foods. It is the very best decaffeinated black tea i ever had. Really flavorful bold not bitter. I thought I ordered regular tea by mistake. Its just a box of 20, thru Amazon pantry . I did appreciate the bigelow was in individual sealed packets.
J. Flynn : My favorite daily tea!
Absolutely delicious tea. I drink it every morning and sometimes at night too. I needed a tea that had good flavor but no caffeine and this is perfect. Obviously making it at home with just a splash of milk saves a lot of calories from going to Starbucks!
L. Palladino : Excellent value and good taste
I drink this 2x day and found it really helps keep my weight in check, along with proper diet and exercise, and enough sleep. The foil packs have four bags each, and I keep them extra fresh by storing them in a mason jar with a tight-sealing lid. Recommend this value pack if you drink a lot of this tea!
cocokoala : Tea bags came open when dunking
I’ve been drinking, and loving, this tea for years. Sometime in the past year they quit stapling the string to the tea bag. This is inconvenient to me because I dunk the tea bag 50 or so times, and found that frequently the string come untied and the tea escaped the bag. I ended up throwing out many cups. Now I staple the string to the bag before I dunk. I spoke to Bigelow customer service about this and was told it must have been a manufacturing quality control mishap. They said they would refund my money. It’s been several months and multiple emails from me to Bigelow, and still no refund. I continue to use this tea,but find the stapleless bag annoying. Now a stapler has become a staple in my kitchen. As to my rating, flavor, 5 stars. Customer service 2 stars.
Den Grimme Aeling : Not good..
Do not purchase this item as it is terrible. At least the shipment I received. Perhaps some people are recieving legitimate Bigelow tea but I do not believe I have. This is my third attempt to write a review. The others have been rejected. What was wrong with this? No flavor, tiny bags, questionable ingredients. Even using 2 bags in a normal sized cup produced a weak flavor...you have been warned. Not recommended.
Ruth : Good quality decaffeinated Green Tea Bags - Bigelow
I really like green tea but wanted a decaffeinated one since I'm sensitive to caffeine. Bigelow has always been a very good quality tea maker. But I'm not a connoisseur of tea so take my recommendation with a grain of salt. All I know is I really enjoy it and appreciate the benefits of green tea. I also use white tea and I brew the 2 teas together every morning when I brew a pot.
Betsy S. Showalter : Order fulfillment issue
I like the tea. I have ordered the six-pack box several times from Amazon. However, the most recent time that I have tried to order the six-pack of chai tea, I received a six-pack of six different teas--one chai and five others. I re-ordered and the same thing happened. I called customer service and the very interested representative tried to figure out what the problem was. I suspected that item numbers were the issue since the same error occurred both times. I am now afraid to re-order for fear of the same thing happening. The representative assured me that someone would read her notes, the item would be pulled from the website, and the problem would be corrected. I am skeptical. I may just have to order directly from the Bigelow website . . . I don't even want to include the product link since I am not sure it would lead to the correct item.
F.R.A. : The only tea my 95-year-old-grandmother likes
My 95-year-old grandmother enjoys her tea but caffeine makes her uncomfortable. Of all the decaf green teas, she like this one the best. I actually like it too - the taste is more mellow than my current batch (100-pk from Costco). It tastes much "softer", if you will, and doesn't feel as abrasive as other green teas I've tried. Plus, a good nightcap without keeping you up, if you're sensitive to caffeine.
Sarah : Only 1 box, not 6!
Based on the description (and price), I was expecting 6 boxes of the tea (each box with 20 tea bags). Instead I only got 1 box! And Amazon now considers the order "complete" and is not giving me any option for customer support on this order. This is definitely false advertising in terms of what the you are ordering.
Kindle Customer : A good tea!
Love the flavor of this tea and as I now have to use decaf tea only, was tickled to find it in my favorite. I live in a little town as to save cost found it easier and cheaper to order thru Amazon. Just the right amount of spice in this tea.
NeonPinkSheep : Buy it!
I LOVE English Teatime. It's my favorite kind of black tea. Every single grocery store in our area stopped carrying the decaffeinated kind, though. Seriously, I went to 7 different stores and couldn't find it. I was afraid I'd have to cut out my nightly cup of tea. But I'm really glad I ordered it here. When I make a pot of tea during the day, I use 2 caffeinated and 1 de-caff so that I don't end up jittery. So now I'm using these morning and night. Bigelow is my favorite brand. There are very few Earl Grey's that I like, I'm very picky, but Bigelow's is good and I use it a lot too.
Long story short: This is my go-to tea. You should try it!
hihawk : Best tasting decaf at decent price
I like flavored teas but can't sleep if I drink too much caffeine. I have yet to find a herbal tea that tastes even remotely drinkable. But I can tolerate drinking this decaf all day and the lemon flavor really is great. Some teas have flavors but they are so faint that you can barely taste the flavor. This one is the best--I've tried a lot of them. But, I bought these to send to my daughter who is studying in Japan. It's cold there and she wanted some decaf tea to drink all day--she couldn't find any so I sent this to her. She likes the lemon flavor in this tea. Great product.

Terry : Beware of wrong boxes!!!
This was my 8th order of this decaf green tea but this time I only received half of the tea I paid for. The outter box was labeled as containing 6 boxes of 40 tea bags for a total of 240. But inside was six boxes of 20 tea bags for a total of 120! I’m sure this was just a mistake and am pleased that we easily received a refund. We will order again but will be sure to check the boxes carefully.

Rachel R. Ferguson : My Aunt was happy with these
I am an Earl Grey fan. My elderly Aunt has had a hard time getting her helper to remember to buy her tea so I ordered this for her. She was delighted and had two cups the same day they arrived. She needs decaf so having Earl Grey decaf was a bonus find.

Jane Deaux : Constant Comment is the best tasting decaf tea ever
Relaxing bedtime treat with great natural flavor. Decaf beverages have been expensive and very difficult to find in grocery stores recently. I wasn't sure I could use all six boxes, but I have already included three boxes in birthday, baby shower and hostess gift baskets and am considering moving up my Amazon subscription reorder date. Individually wrapped tea bags stay fresh a long time and travel well. Tea bag strings and tags are attached without metal staples, making it safe to use in microwave.
Rabbi M : Fairly enjoyable cuppa but too much packaging for my use
I wasn’t looking for individually foil wrapped bags as that isn’t earth friendly. But that’s the only way I could find this Bigelow Black Decaf Tea. Sure it keeps it fresh, but I go through 6 tea bags a day so I don’t want to add to the landfill.
It’s basic, and pretty good for decaf. I won’t buy it again because I want less packaging. Taste is vastly better than Lipton, but then, anything is better than Lipton.
I just don’t care that I can’t but it without all the extra packaging.

Mihélarja : Likely Better Than All The Others
I’ve tried a lot of decaf teas and I do think it’s pretty good. It’s decaf tea. Let’s be honest. It’s not the same as regular, but it is definitely better than a generic box of tea sachets packaged for your local grocery store. It is definitely better than most decaf teas. It is very smooth and produces the typical amber liqueur of a black tea. Like any decaf tea, the tannins build up on the pallets over the duration of a good pot of tea. However, due to the nature of decaf tea and how it’s decaffeinated, it is not as flavorful as caffeinated tea.. personally, I always use decaf tea in unison with other tea and tisane sachets. It always adds that je ne sais quoi.
Ken Shores : Has a chemical smell
There are two ways to decaffeinate black tea. One is more expensive and uses a gas. The other is 10x cheaper and uses chemicals to wash the caffeine out. The manufacturer does not say which process is used. However, the presence of a chemical smell that does not dissipate even after a day, tells me the cheaper process is used
Aunt Paula : Easy to find and order
I love this tea and can't find it in stores anymore especially decaf. I am not a huge tea snob. Bigelow is probably as fancy as I get. So if you're lower middle-class like me, you will be more than satisfied.
Pleasant surprise to find, let alone quite reasonably priced. Every thing went fine from beginning of order to end. When I need that little bump to hit free shipping; I fall back on this tea.
FLtracy : The BEST decaf tea! Replaced my morning coffee.
I have tried MANY a tea brand over the years, and Bigelow is the absolute best. I love that they individually wrap each tea bag, but most important is the flavor. They are the only tea brand IMO that does not leave an aftertaste. I regularly drink their decaf green tea and peppermint tea (both are awesome FYI!), but I have been wanting to cut back on my coffee consumption, even decaf. I know you can find herbal coffee substitutes that swear they are just like coffee, but they are often made from barley and chicory (i.e. grain), which I also want to avoid.
So, I decided to try a black decaf tea, add my organic creamer like I do with my coffee, and see how I like it. First, thank you to Amazon for carrying these Bigelow decaf teas! I searched all over Orlando, FL and couldn't find them anywhere. And, the price with Subscribe and Save cannot be beat.
While waiting for my order to arrive, I tried the Twinings decaf Irish Breakfast Tea (purchased at my local Publix; the one brand of decaf black tea they carry), but it left an aftertaste and was a bit too malty. I needed to add cinnamon and my normal amount of Stevia along with my creamer to make it drinkable. I also tried a Rooibos (do a search for the Rooibos Rocks brand here on Amazon), and while it is excellent, and I will be brewing that as an iced tea, it just wasn't strong enough for my "coffee fix".
This Bigelow decaf English Teatime, however, is just perfect! No aftertaste, and a strong but smooth flavor. I only needed half as much sweetener as I put in my coffee, and no cinnamon. By the time I got to the last of the tea in the cup, the temperature had cooled to almost lukewarm, but it still tasted just as good as the first sip. Lukewarm coffee, though, would have been dumped or reheated.
I actually like this tea BETTER than my coffee! I also can tell my stomach likes it better, too. :)
I cannot recommend this, or any tea from Bigelow, enough. Again, thank you Amazon for carrying it!
S Zewe : Consistent, excellent tea flavor.
Overall, Bigelow Premium Decaffeinated Black Tea is very good. It brews very nicely, has a nice mild tea flavor & each tea bag comes individually packaged to preserve flavor & freshness. However, if you prefer or are looking for as I sometimes am, a stronger tasting brew, you may prefer another tea. Still, Bigelow is an excellent brew that consistently delivers that fresh tea taste without any bitterness even if you let it brew too long. Note: I would have given this a 4.5 Star rating if I could. A 5 Star rating if it were just a little stronger tasting.
MJayy : Just the taste I was looking for
I love drinking Earl Grey tea and find it to be quite the treat when I combined it with this vanilla tea and froth milk (or sweet cream froth when I have a craving for sweets). I did fail to realize the amount I ordered (way too many for one person) so I hope it stays fresh for as long as I have it. Overall, it meets my vanilla flavor expectations.
joe : Great hot or cold
I have been drinking this Black Tea for years and enjoy it hot in the fall and winter and also cold in spring and summer. Decaffeinated allows my to enjoy it from Dawn to long after dusk and fall asleep without any caffeine issues.
Poet5747 : I love this tea!
I have known about Constant Comment since I was a girl many moons ago. I have always enjoyed the scent and the taste of this mildly spicy tea. I drink a cup a day in the morning when I have my breakfast since I have never developed a coffee habit. I also enjoy the fact that I can get caffeine free because it takes very little caffeine to make me wired well into the night.

Marcia : The best decaffeinated tea ever...rich, flavorful and soothing!
Constant Comment Tea was the very first tea I'd ever had! I fell in love with it immediately. Time passed and I decided to change to decaffeinated tea. Lucky for me I found Constant Comment came decaffeinated also! I purchased a box and clung to it, cherishing each bag over time...a long time. I didn't see it in the stores and was thrilled when I found it was available here on Amazon. That very first cup brought back so many memories and it's all thanks to its, as always, wonderful flavor. Thank you, Bigelow, for maintaining your standards and continuing to make Constant Comment Decaffeinated tea, life is wonderful again!
Miss Myfilo : Horrid, not the same teas as in the store
I have been drinking Constant Comment for years Before Covid, I purchased it regularly at each of the 5 grocery stores where I shop. The taste has never varied, always delicious.
The three I got from Amazon were awful! The boxes looked fine but the teas tasted chemical and moldy. I tried a bag from each box and immediately threw them all away in case there was some toxic chemical in them.
I was not about to go to a possibly Covid contagious UPS store to return 3 lousy boxes of teas. And yes, lousy is a good word for this imposter.
Thomas & Jessii : Absolutely incredible flavor and a great value compared to local stores
If you need to stock up every couple months, this is the most cost-effective way we've found. The prices for 6 boxes is way cheaper than buying in-store. The flavor is very good, and we've never had any issues with getting boxes that are obviously very old/expired.
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
