decaffeinated

Coffee without buzz

Decaffeinated describes coffee, tea, or other beverages that have had most of their caffeine removed: I switched to decaffeinated coffee because regular was keeping me up at night.

Often shortened to decaf: I'll have a decaf latte.

The removal process leaves trace amounts, so decaffeinated isn't entirely caffeine-free.
