Just my two cents: if America is to develop a tea 'ceremony' or culture, I think people are going to embrace it the way I did. Step 1: have someone who knows a great deal about tea introduce you to really good teas/different brewing methods. Step 2: drink lots of different kinds of really good tea. Step 3: Read/learn more about tea and tea brewing, and share freely. Step 4: Go back to step 2 and repeat.
Or to be even more concise--drink lots of tea, and hang out on Teachat!

from the abstract
The total flavavol content varied from 21.2 to 103.2 mg/g for regular teas and from 4.6 to 39.0 mg/g for decaffeinated teas. The ORAC value varied from 728 to 1686 trolox equivalents/g tea for regular teas and from 507 to 845 trolox equivalents/g for decaffeinated teas.
as for method of decafing, widely used solvent ethyl acetate is the most common form of decaf, and supposedly strips a lot more then co2 extraction. If anyone is really curious I'm sure online literature is out there. I could go look for it if you want me to.
