Tetley Decaffeinated Green Tea 50S down from £1.75 to £1. Better than the usual supermarket own brands and now priced similarly.

Tetley use ethyl acetate which the majority of will evaporate and isn't toxic unless you're exposed to high volumes.
It doesn't sound quite as eco/health friendly as the CO2 method Clipper use but is there any reasoning that it makes decaf tea unhealthy?

Who knows. A doctor was talking about it yesterday saying they use antifreeze and to avoid drinking lots. Didn't specify how much lots is. Said to find water decaffeinated stuff instead.

Well, if you're worried, you could always compensate with alcohol.
