It is widely available in supermarkets like Asda and Sainsburys. It tastes really good and I don't think you would know it was decaf. I've tried others, but it is the best I've found. I don't think it tastes bitter by the way.Be gentle with yourself if you are going decaf. I was totally shocked by how hard I found it, and I cut it down gradually over a month. At first physical symptoms like headache, but going from one cup of coffee a day with caffeine to none, I had no energy and really low mood for some time until I adjusted. I made the change as I had heard that all caffeine does is bring you back to the energy you would have if you didn't drink any (ie it compensates for caffeine withdrawl). I stuck it for a year and to be honest I didn't feel any different living without caffeine and have now gone back to drinking caffeine before lunchtime and decaf after to give me the best chance of a good nights sleep.Good luck in your quest!</blockquote>
