Not sure if nationwide but found a box of 80 pg tip decaf tea for 65p in ASDA cookstown. Worth a punt. Barcode ending in 1088

Thumbs up from me. No longer get those headaches I used to get. Tastes no difference and many people I know have switched over the years.

You really can't tell the difference between this and normal PG tips. Great price. Think I paid around £2 last time in Tesco for this.

The 160 pack is quite often found in pound land so worth keeping a look out of you are there.

Decaff tea tastes the same as normal tea if you buy the same brand. People think it doesn't until I tell them afterwards they just had decaff and they never noticed.
I can't have caffeine so it helps me ta.

Ive had decaf tea coffee for years. Unfortunately it's always been more expensive to buy. Unfortunately I can't drink caffeine since having my gall bladder removed it makes me quite unwell :disappointed: thanks for post bigmac31

Decaf tea? That's like a porn film with just the story.

The issue I have with decaf is that it doesn't just target Caffeine, it also reduces other compounds in the tea, which have reputed health benefits.
I have seriously bad anxiety, well I did until I took meds for it, anyway caffeine doesn't make me anxious if I drink it in coca cola, but if I drink Coffee and even decaf (which still preserves some stimulating Xanthines) I get anxious, and green tea is an absolute nightmare if I drink that, but that could be because of the EGCG which is known to affect Dopamine.
TL;DR
I don't really see the point of decaf, just don't drink tea if you can't handle Caffeine, decaf just ruins the beverage in my opinion.
