I have found that the decaffeinated teas from The Republic of Tea (
www.republicoftea.com ) do not lose much taste or aroma at all... they use a
natural high-pressure CO2 proccess to decaffeinate, unlike most companies
which use ethyl acetate. Unfortunately, they do not have any straight black
decaf teas, but I do suggest their "Earl Greyer" decaf.
Also, have you ever tried Rooibos, or "red" tea? It is a naturally
caffeine-free herbal tea, full of antioxidants, and in plain form tastes, I
think, very much like strong black tea.
A third option is to decaffeinate the tea yourself: pour boiling water over
the tea into the cup, then immediately discard that liquid. Pour boiling
water over the tea again and steep as usual. Ninety percent of the caffeine
in tea is released with the first washing-over of boiling water. I am
sensitive to caffeine and have tried this method many times with much
success.

I am trying to switch from regular tea to decanfeinated but have not
found any that have much taste. Can anyone suggest a good brand?
