I refer full caf tea, but this is great for decaf. It's what I drink in the mornings.
Decaf black tea from Sri Lanka. Tangy, sweet mandarin notes, and balanced astringency. The classic afternoon cup.

Nice and strong
I may never buy another brand of decaf tea again. All adagio decafs are top notch in flavor and strength. Highly recommended.
I needed something to drink when it's late at night, or if I've already had too much caff through the day already. This tastes fantastic, can hardly even tell the difference.
Maybe I was expecting too much from the rave reviews, but this was too mild for me. Very mild scent as well, very pleasant both in aroma and flavor, very smooth and not at all bitter, but just not my cup of tea (ha!).
I can't believe this is decaf. It has to be the best decaf tea I've ever had, and I've tried many. Most of them taste off, but this tastes like real tea!
I have never before bought a high-quality plain black tea. I was so impressed with this one that the ground-up, bagged teas are no longer an option at this house. Wonderful!
Excellent cup of tea! Can't tell it's decaf. Very smooth.
Excellent quality black tea, if you need to watch your caffeine intake.
I really like this tea. It's nice to have in the morning. It's smooth and gentle for my stomach. I look forward to my morning cup of tea now.
Tastes really off. We ended up throwing it all away.
A good, solid decaf black tea. A reasonably strong flavor for decaf.
delicious - tasted just like the regular ceylon but without the caffeine! Would highly recommend
My mother in law thinks this tea is the greatest. She uses it to make iced tea by the gallons since she can't really have caffeine.
I usually expect decaf versions of tea to be weak comparisons to their caffeinated counterparts, but I'm happy to say that the decaf ceylon provides a very nice tea experience. It's a lovely cup of tea, and comparing it with the regular ceylon there is little difference. A good overall cup of tea.
simple. delicious. not too heavy but has enough body to satisfy.
I did not like this tea
We go through this like crazy - it's our iced tea blend. I use one part decaf raspberry with two parts of decaf ceylon. Some Splenda or Sweet n Low and ice it. Summer, winter, or fall, it's a hit.
My default tea. Love it hot, iced, or with a little milk and sugar. I'm sensitive to caffeine, so I'm happy to get such a tasty cup without the buzz!
Pretty good for a decaf. It doesn't have the punch of regular black tea, but since I must switch to decaf in the afternoons, it's better than store brand teas or no tea at all.
interesting flavor, but delicious blend. this tea is great!
I love the decaf ceylon as I'm sensitive to caffeine and it hardly tastes like decaf tea, but this order it didn't arrive. I would have appreciated the option of backordering the item or cancelling/delaying my order until the decaf ceylon was back in stock as the shipping charges to where I live usually double the price of my order.
Easy to brew and tastes just like the 'real' thing. I especially like it for breakfast or mixed with peppermint tea. A yummy alternative if you want to cut back on caffeine.
Great for a soothing afternoon or evening respite.
This has become my go-to decaf tea. I'm really sensitive to caffeine, so I used to get black tea only as a treat. Now I can drink it every morning! It tastes no different from a caffeinated version.
Now if only there were more non-flavored decaf options...
I would say this tea is good, but lacking the complexity of some of the caffeinated varieties.
Great decaf for evening drinking. Nice flavor very balanced.
It does not taste at all like decaf. A great basic tea that will please everyone.
I was looking for a decaf, basic black tea (read: unflavored) for drinking at night, and this definitely fits the bill. It's not as good as my 'leaded' black teas that I drink for breakfast, but it gets the job done. I tried both Rooibos and Honeybush, but they both give me heartburn for some reason.
Exactly what I was looking for! Great decaf black tea.
This is a nicely flavored decaf tea. I feel like I am tasting the real thing because this tea doesn't have a watered down taste like some decafs do. Very nice.
Has a great taste that is very powerful, not for the timid.
DELICIOUS. I'm such a sucker for decent ceylon, and having a non-flavored decaf rocks. Bag tea can't match this.
Eh. Ordered to have some decaf on hand, earthy flavor, somewhat bland.
An excellent decaf choice. As compared to the caffeinated version, the flavor and strength remains generally consistent.
Easy to trick yourself into thinking its not decaf. Definitely the best decaf I've had
Being Ceylon, this tea was very mild tasting "black tea." I made milk tea with it, and there is nothing too crazy good about it, but it's not bad neither. It will be good just plain or with milk, depending on how i feel.
This tea is delicious either plain or with milk and sugar.
This surprised me. I thought tea bags had ruined my idea of ceylon but this really is a lot better.
my favorite bedtime tea. i love this at night with a bit of milk added in!
I ordered this one just to have some at home for those avoiding caffeine. I personally do not care for caffeine free tea.
I needed a decaf black tea for the evenings and this got the job done. It teeters on the edge of bitterness no matter how long or hot I brew it, but tastes fine. This is infinitely better than any grocery store tea, but falls short of most (caffeinated) premium black teas here on Adagio.
This has become my basic tea. Great straight or poured over ice; fairly tolerant of me forgetting to take the leaves out.
I was hoping this would be a great substitute for ceylon sonata when I make iced tea, but it wasn't. Decaf tea is never as good!
Not too bad as a decaf, but I can't tell the difference between this CO2 and other chemically-decaffed teas.
This is a wonderfully-flavored tea for any time of day. I drink it in the evenings at times, as it won't affect my sleep.
Good black tea that is nice hot or iced. It is difficult to tell that it is decaf.
A nice basic tea. Bonus that it's decaffeinated. Good for mixing with other flavors
Tasted kind of like dirt the first couple times I made it. Forgot about a cup one day and it got steeped extra long and turned out much better. Probably won't order again though.
Good everyday tea for those that want/need a decaf tea.
