I have one cup a day (well used to have one a day), first thing, and found it irritated me greatly, so I would like a few suggestions of decaf with a bit of oomph!

It was from a local place, which she didn't name in the blog, but perhaps if you fmail she could point you in the right direction? fetcheveryone.com/blog/50945/2021/8#blog432067
