The teas go through a CO2 process. The leaves are soaked in a bath of carbon dioxide at a pressure of 73 to 300 atmospheres. After a thorough soaking the pressure is reduced allowing the CO2 to evaporate, or pressurized CO2 is run through water or charcoal filters to remove the caffeine. This process avoids the use of harmful solvents.
