For those of you who are cautious with their caffeine intake, there's a natural way to decaffeinate any tea.
Since caffeine is very water soluble, the best way to decaffeinate tea is to use an infuser to steep the tea in freshly boiled water for a about 30 seconds; the highly water soluble caffeine will be absorbed by the water in this time frame. Next, toss out the water,which is be loaded with dissolved caffeine, and pour yourself a new cup of water and steep the tea a second time - this time, the tea will contain only trace amounts of caffeine.
Teas that are naturally caffeine free are pure herbal teas and pure Rooibos, so there is no need to decaffeinate these teas. It's not recommended to try this process with tea bags purchased from the supermarket - these teas are very mild-flavored compared to the loose leaf teas offered by Wabiblo, and will lose their flavor very quickly. Loose leaf black, green, and white teas, however, can easily provide a flavorful 2nd and third cup of tea.
This decaffeination process only removes about 80 to 85% of the caffeine from the tea - comparatively, commercial processes remove almost 95% of the caffeine, but often involve harmful chemicals in the process. If you have a strong reaction to caffeine, then it would be advisable to stick with naturally caffeine free teas such as herbal teas or Rooibos. Wabiblo's line of Shanti teas has an excellent, sweet flavored, caffeine-free Rooibos for sale which is an nice addition to the naturally caffeine free herbal teas.

Why Use an Open Tea Infuser Instead of Tea Bags Or Tea Balls?
From experience I can tell you that using an open tea infuser significantly embellishes the taste of the tea when compared to alternatives. Open tea infusers allow the tea to flow freely while steeping instead of being clumped and bunched together inside a tea bag or tea balls or closed infusers.
