Decaf coffee/tea recommendations please!

I had a bit of an issue with my blood pressure last week - not long lasting, anxiety based - which has made me reconsider a few things. I do love coffee and drink too much, usually filter/cafetiere at home and work (school). I drink it black. Have yet to find a decaf I like because they taste funny - currently using Lavazza as it got good reviews after my initial first two "proper" cups. It's not hitting the spot.

Same with tea - currently drinking decaf Yorkshire tea and Twinings decaf Earl Grey. Not impressed!

Any recommendations for good decaf tea, ground coffee or "real" tasting instant? Not sure I'll get through the term to Christmas without a decent hot drink at break!

Thank you!

Yorkshire Tea is by far and away the best. I tried loads and this one is it, could barely tell the difference. Monmouth coffee decaf beans are amazing, I have even given them to my coffee snob husband by accident and he didn’t realise. Now post-baby, I still have the Yorkshire decaf. I do like a strong tea though!

Yorkshire Decaf was crap the last time I had it (admittedly, years ago) - really weak, unlike their normal brew. I only drink decaf now. Thompsons and Tetley both do really decent decaf tea. Thompsons is the one I use most. Good and strong (for decaf).
L'or decafeine is nice for instant coffee.
Sainsbury's do a nice ground swiss water filtered one - Root and Branch I think? Much nicer than Taylors.
Illy do ground decaf in a tin, it's nice. I don't mind Lavasa either.

Sounds like Yorkshire has improved since I last had it, as my complaint was that it was very weak

I drink Carte Noir decaf coffee and Twinnings decaf Earl Grey. Might try to find some of the suggestions on this thread.

@SukiPook

I think they must have done, as I found Tetley like dishwater! It also had a very weird aftertaste - nothing like tea at all!

M&S decaf tea is the best I've ever tried. Its quite strong too.
