    Delicious

    This is by far the best tasting decaf coffee I have ever had. I'm weaning myself off of regular coffee and this is perfect for my second cup or to mix half and half with regular. Or to drink in the afternoon so that it doesn't interfere with my sleep. I plan to replace my coffee entirely with decaf and teas.

    Great Tasting

    I love this brand of coffee, smooth, bright and just really delish. Better than going out and paying a whole lot more per cup as it's affordable, yay.

    Good taste without caffeine- no crashing.

    The other reviews that I read talked about decaf coffee loosing its taste, and it's true, but the Counter Culture Decaf/ Slow Motion has a lot more taste than other decafs I've tried.
