Highground Organic Instant, Decaf Coffee, 3.53 Oz

I have been shifting from brewed decaf coffee to instant decaf coffee, because I've wanted the flexibility of having coffee at different point of the day. I've tried a number of brands, including, most recently, Mount Hagan decaf and Community Coffee Cafe Special decaf. I've also tried the store brands and Jacobs, but I didn't care for them, primarily because they're punishing when they cool. Here are my thoughts on the three coffees, in alphabetical order: Community Coffee Cafe Special Decaf instant (also purchased through Amazon): easily my least favorite of the three. Tasted like more like instant unsweetened iced tea than coffee. Very little coffee characteristics and I tried 1 tsp (almost tasteless) and 2 tsp. Nothing worked. Couldn't finish the jar. At least it was consistent at different temperatures, so it gets a second star. Just not very good. 2 stars. Highground Instant Decaf: About as good as I think a decaf could get -- kind of like an average brewed coffee. Comparable to New Jersey diner coffee. Not complex an any way, just a solid cup of coffee. Goes well with milk or black. It's actually more flavorful as it cools. No unpleasant aftertaste. Probably best with 1.5 -2 tsp. This is my go-to brand. Mount Hagan Instant Decaf: Very similar to Highground in every respect, except that it did leave a somewhat unpleasant after-taste, which was worse when drinking the coffee black. 4 stars. Looking forward to trying a few other brands, including Clipper and Cafe Altura, but I may stick with Highground for awhile.

I LOVE this coffee! I stumbled across it on vacation, and have been buying it consistently since. As someone with chronic migraines, I have to limit my caffeine intake, but I absolutely adore a good cup of coffee. This instant decaf has been the perfect solution. I dissolve about a tablespoon into some hot water and have a tasty cup of coffee ready to go in seconds. It smells amazing, is easy to adjust the strength of your brew with just a little more or less granules, and makes the smoothest, tastiest cup of coffee. 10/10 recommend.

This is a 2 part review: Shipping gets a negative 3 stars--Amazon needs to rethink shipping glass bottles in a paper envelope wrapped in only 1 layer of bubble wrap. One bottle survived by some miracle; the other bottle shattered. Due to Amazonʻs substandard packaging and no-refund policy for this item, I have paid double for 1 bottle and have a mess to dispose of. Worst case scenario is that the shattered glass could have hurt someone in the shipping process. I only made this review so that potential customers and Amazon could learn about this problem (esp. since I could not contact a person at Amazon.) Product gets 4 stars--hey, itʻs instant, organic, decaf. Iʻve become sensitive to "real" coffee and caffeine over the years and this is the best Iʻve found that gives me no issues. I have had reactions to regular decaf as well as other instant decaf coffees. Taste is subjective and my preference is for a strong, dark roast like Sumatra, but Highground gets me by. It is light and mild in flavor, with little if any bitterness. I also like that itʻs organic and Fairtrade.

double the price of Folgers decaf but a wonderful flavor!

Mild taste, mixes easily, doesn't upset my stomach, mild aroma, smooth texture and has just the right amount of strength for a mild pick-me-up late in the afternoon.

Tastes great. However, for the size it’s overpriced. I will not purchase again.

This is a very excellent instant decaf coffee - I drink it every morning and enjoy it a lot. I've tried some others and this one's the one I like the best. It's a good instant coffee!

Delicious and fresh!
