Mount Hagen3.53oz Organic Freeze Dried Instant Decaf Coffee | Eco-friendly, Fair-Trade Decaffeinated Coffee Made From Organic Medium Roast Arabica Beans [3.53oz Jar]

I switched to instant decaf coffee awhile ago due to health issues, to cut down on my caffeine consumption. Then, I thought- if I’m drinking decaf coffee that has been decaffeinated with a bunch of chemicals- how is that “healthier”? I started shopping around for non-chemical instant decaf coffee. The non-chemical stuff is quite a bit more expensive, because anything, it seems, that is more chemical and additive free is always more pricey than the stuff loaded with additives and chemicals. And this Mount Hagen decaf was no exception. But I thought hey- I’ll try it.And- ladies and gentlemen- this instant decaf is absolutely worth the higher price. First of all- and I don’t know how- this stuff is so much more concentrated compared to the instant decaf I had been drinking. I don’t know if it has to do with this instant looking like it dried at the production plant into tiny cube-like “chunks” as opposed to the little crystal-looking flakes of regular decaf- I have no idea- but it tastes SO much stronger than my regular instant decaf.Whereas I would use at least two and a half heaping tablespoons of regular, supermarket decaf (I like my coffee iced- this decaf, by the way, dissolves beautifully in cold water- I make my iced coffee in a 25 ounce insulated tumbler, with lots of room for ice and sugar-free creamer) the same amount of the Mount Hagen decaf tasted SO much stronger. Like- a lot stronger. As in “Whoa- I used WAY too much of that!” stronger. And I like my coffee strong-tasting. After I adjusted the amount to about half of what I would use of supermarket decaf, the flavor was perfect. Really good, in fact.So while 3.5 ounces of instant coffee for almost thirteen dollars sounded pretty outrageous to me even as I was placing my order, after tasting this coffee, the price totally made sense. This jar, judging by the taste, is going to be equal probably to two 3 ounce jars of supermarket instant decaf. And I do like a lot of coffee taste in my coffee. The jar should last a long time.One thing to note- the lid does twist off the jar, but when it comes time to putting the lid back on, it doesn’t twist back on, which would be logical. It *snaps* back on. I stood at the counter fiddling with the lid for quite some time before I figured this out, so just wanted to pass this observation along.And— its the most delicious-tasting decaf coffee I’ve ever tasted! It has a rich, full coffee flavor. Every instant decaf brand I’ve tried from the giant store that starts with a W- and I’ve tried at least five different brands- has been ok at first taste, but then has a bitter aftertaste. This Mount Hagen coffee has no bitter aftertaste. I was surprised, actually, at how good it tasted. I had become used to cheapie big box store decaf. Also, knowing it hasn’t been decaffeinated with who-knows-what nasty substances makes it taste even better. The “clean” decaffeinating process also justifies its higher cost, in my opinion. I’m not 20 years old any more, and I try to be aware of everything I put into my body. I try to do the best I can with this, and am making changes to replace things I consume that are not so healthy for me with healthier choices (when I can afford it.) And this Mount Hagen instant decaf coffee is a great, and yes, due to its more concentrated nature, more affordable healthy change. If you are on the fence about trying this coffee, due to its cost- go for it. You won’t be disappointed. It’s great stuff.

This decaf, organic instant coffee is delicious! I have anxiety and a thyroid disorder, so I finally decided to make the switch to decaf and I am so glad that I found this brand. The price is worth it IMO, because it’s organic and it tastes THAT good.To those complaining about the lid; I totally get it, but I have found that you have to press down (don’t twist) and it’ll pop closed again. :)I noticed a major, major difference in my anxiety and nervousness/jitteriness on day one of making the switch to this decaf coffee. I haven’t had any caffeine headaches either! And it feels so good knowing that caffeine is no longer putting a strain on my thyroid.

smooth, rich, bold, no chemical taste!! great quality and price for organic, chemical free coffee!

I love strong instant coffee and this brew is excellent! Only bought one to try but I plan on buying multiple jars in the future.HOWEVER: the manufacturer should be ashamed of itself for the ridiculous joke that they pass off as a lid. Good thing it had the protective seal, because honestly, for food safety reasons I can’t believe it was legit leaving the processing facility without any vacuum sealing of the lid. The jar’s neck looks like a typical twist on/off mechanism, but the lid just sits on the top of the jar with no twist seal capability whatsoever. So … just be advised you’ll want to have a backup container at the ready to transfer the coffee crystals to when you open it up if you get the mismatched mess I got.
