    Best decaf coffee ever

    Had to decrease my caffeine content and had read that this was the best tasting decaf out there. I agree! I loved it so much that I now have a subscription to come on a regular basis. Tried many store brand decaf coffees only to be disappointed that they tasted like water and hardly like coffee.

    Does NOT Taste like Instant Coffee, but Tastes FRESH BREWED!!!

    First off, the first time I tasted Maud Coffee's Tall Dark and Handsome, I knew I found my favorite coffee. A bold, dark coffee that is incredible.When Maud's came out with the instant version, the price was right and I gave it a try. They have a winner!!!!I love the price, too.
