    Great Decaf Instant Tea

    For many years I used Lipton Instant Decaf Tea until it sadly disappeared from the shelves a few years ago. Fresh brewed decaffeinated tea has always been an option but I admit to certain laziness I blame my age, way past the 3 score years and ten, according to Scripture.

    Great value, delicious decaffeinated Assam.

    I had been looking for an instant tea with no sugar or citric acid so I could make a quick cuppa in the morning instead of instant coffee. I have an espresso machine, and a whistling kettle, but I use my instant hot water to keep a quiet morning flow going.

    Great little tea for those that need unsweetened and decaf

    My favorite instant Ice Tea mix was Lipton's unsweetened decafenated instant Tea. Of course because I like it, it's been discontinued. Some price gougers are selling it on Amazone for $30e for a jar that makes 30 quarts. So, I went looking for another tea to take it's place. I found this and it was really good.
