{"product_id":"decaf-apricot-black","title":"Decaf Apricot Black Tea - WS","description":"\u003cp\u003eDelicious, sweet, heavenly apricots originated in China thousands of years ago. Their cultivation spread through the Persian Empire to Europe and then finally to America, specifically California where they thrive today. Related to peaches, apricots are smaller with a smooth skin, not the fuzziness associated with peaches. Apricots, when ripe, have a sweet, tangy flavor that is truly delightful. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis tea brews to a bright amber cup with a sweet smell. It is a well balanced cup, where the underlying tastes of the black teas come through and merge perfectly with the sweet Apricot taste. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: Decaf black teas, calendula petals, and natural and artificial flavor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8777\/0850\/files\/icons_-_kosherVeg.png?v=1758209440\" alt=\"\" width=\"157\" height=\"75\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis tea is decaffeinated using the all-natural CO2 process. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNatural CO2 Decaffeination\u003c\/b\u003e To decaffeinate tea it is necessary to find a solvent that will remove the caffeine from the leaf, while keeping as many of the healthy benefits and the taste profiles in. The best method we have found is natural CO2 decaffeination. This method consists of putting moistened tea leaves in a chamber, adding CO2 and pressurizing it. CO2, when pressurized, becomes a liquid which effectively removes caffeine from tea leaves, while just as effectively not removing many of the healthy benefits. When the liquid is poured off the leaves and the leaves are dried, the CO2 reverts back to its gas form and dissipates from the leaf. Decaffeinated teas generally still have \u003cstrong\u003e1-2% caffeine.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simpson \u0026 Vail, Inc","offers":[{"title":"4 Ounce Tin","offer_id":42795275911394,"sku":"T0399     4TIN","price":15.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Pound","offer_id":42794848190690,"sku":"T0399     16","price":46.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8777\/0850\/products\/decafapricot_xl_8dc400fe-6bd3-4007-8360-3c93a03f7b20.jpg?v=1651771692","url":"https:\/\/svtea.mom\/products\/decaf-apricot-black","provider":"Simpson \u0026 Vail ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
