Just like decaf coffee, decaf tea does contain a small residual amount of caffeine. The caffeine content will depend on the company producing tea and the process they use, as well as on the original tea's caffeine content. Apparently the High Pressure Carbon Dioxide Process developed in Europe produces the best decaf tea as it removes most of the caffeine, does not leave any residual carbon dioxide and extracts less of the flavor. However, no decaffeination process is perfect, and all decaf tea loses some flavor.

People who want a truly caffeine-free drink that resembles tea will need to drink naturally caffeine-free herbal teas.

No. Although these coffees indicate that they have reduced caffeine levels, they still contain some caffeine. The chemical process through which caffeine is extracted from tea leaves and coffee beans does leave some caffeine within the plant matter, which can never be completely removed. Decaf is better in terms of caffeine consumption, but it does not cut caffeine completely from your diet.

Decaf can contain anywhere from less than 1% to about 3% of the caffeine of caffeinated coffee. This is because it is easy to get most of the caffeine out, but very tedious to get just about all of it out. This amount of caffeine should not have an effect on people, however.

no that's why it is called decaf (decaffeinated). Yes, there is anywhere from 1%-6% depending on the process used to extract the caffeine.
