Your classic Earl Grey tea, but without the caffeine. This blend uses Ceylon black tea as the base and infuses it with the classic citrus flavor of bergamot. Our Earl Grey Decaf is carefully decaffeinated using the CO2 process, ensuring you still get the same unique flavor without the caffeine.

I use dillweed often. This dill is fresh and has a nice aroma. I use it in marinades, salad dressings, and on fish. Good stuff.
