Mount Hagen Organic (Decaf) Instant Coffee

 

 

I gave up regular coffee (with caffeine) about a year ago, for health reasons.

 

It was hard to kick the caffeine habit initially. But I got past the few withdrawal symptoms I had (excessive tiredness, brain fog, low energy, nausea) after about a week and I'm so glad that I made this decision. Excessive caffeine consumption is not good for anyone and there were days when I drank a lot more coffee than I should have.   

 

But I still LOVE the smell of coffee and the taste of it too, so when I found out about Mount Hagen Organic Decaf Freeze Dried Instant Coffee, I  was excited about giving it a try.

This coffee has special appeal for those interested in organic coffee with the convenience of an instant. It's great for travelers, campers, and small households. Made from 100% arabica beans, Mount Hagen organic instant coffee is shade grown at higher elevations which produces a naturally flavorful, yet mild taste.

For those that love coffee but don't want the caffeine, there is Mount Hagen instant organic decaf coffee.

By comparison to other instant coffee brands that I've tried over the years (with and without caffeine) Mount Hagen Organic Decaf Freeze Dried Coffee is definitely one of the better ones I've tasted. It's not on par with brewed coffee, but that's not to be expected, with any instant coffee.

Instant coffee is a handy convenience and this one has a rich, satisfying flavour.

 I'm so glad it's organic too. That's very hard to find in any instant coffee.

 

Although I enjoyed this product, when it comes to instant hot beverages, my first preference is still:

 Caf Lib Organic


 I've tried many types of grain- based hot beverages over the years in addition to various brands of coffee and Caf Lib  (click to read my full review) continues to be my fav hot beverage choice overall.

 

If you are looking for alternatives to regular coffee with caffeine, but don't want to give up coffee completely: Mount Hagen Organic (Decaf) Instant Coffee is one you might want to try.
