Is there an organic, decaffeinated, black, loose-leaf Indian tea, that is strong yet not acidic? The my favorite is FOP India from Choice Organics, but sadly, it is caffeinated. When I was back in England in 2002, I found a good Typhoo decaffeinated tea, but that wasn't organic. Age has taken its toll. No tea drinking for me in the afternoon.
Does the sort of tea I am looking for exist, or am I just a dreamer?

Oh, phoo, this serious. Some Darjeelings flow happily through multiple steeps. These might offer solace. Begin drinking with the second or third steep, and be willing to risk a possible sleepless night until you get the formula exactly right. You are right to stay away from tippy. Dog Ma informed us that the tenderest young shoots are the carriers of the highest concentration of caffeine.

Plug "co2 darjeeling" into the Google web search engine. You'll get your share of false positives but also sites that sell decaffeinated darjeeling. Change darjeeling to assam,nilgiri etc for specific tea. Co2 is the most used process to remove caffeine from tea leaving the tea 'goodies' intact.
