Can’t tell you about their decaf, but we find the Hummingbird coffees very nice. It’s tough suggesting food and drinks as everyone will have their own taste preferences, but for us the Hummingbird coffees are not bitter and burnt like some, just smooth and delicious, but that’s just us!!

Thanks! My issue is I get good coffee from somewhere, and then I get a decaf and it doesn't taste that great. Gotta brew it for ages too and use extra coffee or it's weak.

I don't think I've tried the hummingbird decaf so will give that a go.

Seconding Hummingbird decaf - I used to have Hummingbird Crave every morning, which was my favourite from their line, but now I prefer the flavour of the decaf one anyway.

I think they also do a few 50/50 decaf/caffeinated blends too.

Just got some at the supermarket, will give it a go 🙂

I guess the decaffing removes the flavours as well. I monitor my blood pressure with a wrist strap that optically measures it 20+ times a day. I can easily see my BP rises coinciding with whenever I have a coffee. Luckily it doesn’t make me jittery though.

If I have coffee in the afternoon I notice it affect my sleep, and I don't get enough of that as it is. But sometimes I just really feel like a coffee. So the answer is decaf 🙂
