Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Meadowsweet Inn, a boutique hotel in the heart of the Peak District, wanted to enhance its guest experience by upgrading its complimentary in-room beverages. They felt their previous generic tea bags didn't align with their focus on local, quality produce and sustainable practices.
"We switched to the Clipper organic decaf catering pack and the feedback was immediate. Guests started mentioning the tea in their reviews! It’s a small detail, but it communicates that we care about quality right down to the teacup. The Fairtrade aspect is something we’re proud to support and our guests notice it."
Robert Finch – General Manager
The switch led to a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning the quality of in-room amenities, reinforcing the hotel's premium branding.

- Encourage staff to taste the product so they can describe it confidently and passionately.

Explore more from ClipperHow Chemical-Free Decaffeination Protects Flavour
Ever wondered why some decaf teas taste a bit... thin? It's often down to the decaffeination method. Many brands use chemical solvents like ethyl acetate or methylene chloride to strip caffeine from the tea leaves, which can also strip away some of the delicate flavour compounds. Clipper takes a different, more natural approach using the CO2 decaffeination method.
Think of it like giving the tea leaves a gentle spa treatment. The leaves are soaked in water and then placed in a vessel with liquid CO2 under high pressure. The CO2 is a brilliant natural solvent that bonds only with the caffeine molecules, drawing them out of the leaf while leaving the larger flavour molecules almost completely untouched. The caffeine-rich CO2 is then drained away, leaving behind a delicious, full-flavoured but decaffeinated tea leaf. It’s a cleaner, smarter way to make decaf that truly respects the tea's natural character.
Who Should Buy This?
