Frequently Asked Questions — Decaf French Vanilla

Where can I buy Decaf French Vanilla Tea in Calgary?

You can purchase professional 1 lb. bags at ChickenPieces.com. We ship directly from our local Calgary hub to cafes and hotels across Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan.

Is this tea completely caffeine-free?

Decaffeinated tea typically contains 1-3% of its original caffeine content. It is ideal for late-night service for those sensitive to caffeine, but not strictly "caffeine-free" like herbal teas.

How many cups does one pound of loose leaf tea make?

While yield depends on strength, 1 lb. of loose leaf tea typically produces 180 to 200 servings (8 oz.) when brewed traditionally.

What is the best temperature for brewing decaf vanilla tea?

For black teas, water at a rolling boil (100°C) is ideal to fully extract the malty depth and creamy vanilla aromatics.

What is the shelf life of the leaves?

Unopened bags have a shelf life of approximately 2 years. Store in a cool, dark place to maintain the volatile vanilla oils through 2026.

Can I use this for iced tea?

Absolutely. It makes an excellent dessert iced tea, providing a smooth, "Cream-Soda" style flavor when chilled and lightly sweetened.

Is the bag resealable?

Most professional 1 lb. bags are designed for industrial use. For maximum freshness after opening, we recommend transferring the tea to an airtight canister.

Is this product gluten-free and vegan?

Yes. Davidson's Organic Decaf French Vanilla is naturally vegan and gluten-free.

Why buy from a Calgary-based supplier like ChickenPieces.com?

Ordering locally ensures you pay in CAD, avoid surprise border duties, and receive your stock in 2–5 days—essential for maintaining consistent menu availability.
