It can offer that much-needed boost to kickstart the morning, stay focused at work, or power through after a rough night. The component in tea or coffee that gives that boost is caffeine. While tea doesn\u2019t contain as much caffeine as coffee, most types of tea do contain some caffeine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: #7f7f7f\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">However, although some South Africans admit that they survive on caffeine, others may want to avoid caffeine. Tetley partner dietitian, Mbali Mapholi, says there are many reasons some South Africans prefer decaf tea options. \u201cSome people are more affected by caffeine than others,\u201d explains Mapholi. \u201cAnd then there are those who are pregnant or struggle with sleep who may avoid caffeine altogether.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: #7f7f7f\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">Despite this, decaffeinated tea options have been limited to date in the local market. Research conducted by Tetley in South Africa indicated that many people who prefer the taste of regular tea end up buying herbal teas (or no tea) due to the limited availability and high cost of decaffeinated tea options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: #7f7f7f\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">In light of this, Tetley has recently launched an affordable Decaffeinated Tea Blend in leading South African supermarkets. Pioneers of several speciality tea segments in South Africa, Tetley\u2019s new Decaf Tea Blend offers the signature flavour of its Premium Tea Blend &#8211; without the caffeine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: #7f7f7f\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">But who should be avoiding caffeine in the first place?
