It is more beneficial for arthritis sufferers to drink decaf tea and coffee as it 1 less toxin for the body to deal with and is better for the joints. Sainsburys is also nice - Happy drinking!

As a recent convert to decaff I have always wondered how they extracted the caffine. I presume it is some horrible chemical process - come on - someone out there must know!

check out this web site to get explanation of some approved decaffeinating processes. "www.holymtn.com/tea/decaffeinated.htm" spelling decaffeinated correctly will definitely help in any information search.

only drink decaf that used co2 (carbon dioxide) and water, this preserves most the antioxidants, as opposed to the other methods, which the holy mountain site wont tell you.
