Anyone seen this around Taipei? Thanks.
I’ve seen Folgers instant decaf in the Banqiao Jasons. But that’s not an area I check often, so I don’t know if it’s still there.
If you can’t find it just get Starbucks or Mr Brown to grind your decaf beans finely. Scoop a tablespoon into a cup or container, add hot water, stir and let sit 5 minutes. Then pour into another cup avoiding letting the grinds wash in. I do this with regular coffee all the time when I am camping or forget to buy filters. Tastes the same and you don’t need anything but water and a cup.
I have some at home, so it must be somewhere… I don’t remember where I bought it, but I don’t think it was anywhere fancy - probably Wellcome or Matsusei. Bought it wintertime-ish…

One of my favorite stores on Taiwan has it…at least the one I go to does, and they are an island wide chain:
As a matter of fact, they have “Tasters Choice De-Caf Instant”…which if one wants instant and decaf, is one of the best around.
Thanks all, I’ll try those out! There’s a Chuen-Lian right near me, I’ll give that a go first

Yes this did the trick, thanks TC that was probably the last place I would have looked. My wife was well impressed by my command of the power of the internet thanks to you lol

You’re very welcome. That place is where I do about 75% of our shopping.
About the only thing I don;t do there is return bottles - The 7-Eleven is just too close to carry them back to Chuen Lian.
Another regular store is small-north.url.tw/ as a “hardware/housegoods/almost everything” place - Show Ba Bai Waa’, as I call it.
RT Mart in Hsinchu has 3 or 4 kinds; the Nescafe Gold Decaf (small glass jar, red lid) isn’t bad, but not as good as the regular Nescafe Gold. We had another kind as well, but I’m not sure of the brand. If Hsinchu has it, it should be available in Taipei.
Not sure about decaf coffee, but you certainly can get black coffee. It comes in three levels of blackness: Obama, Mandela and Pele.
Yeah I’m seeing the taster’s choice one all over now. didn’t remember seeing it before.
