noncaffeinated

Lacking the buzz

Noncaffeinated describes food or drink that contains no caffeine—coffee, tea, or soft drinks processed to remove it or never containing it in the first place: noncaffeinated herbal tea, noncaffeinated soda.

The word overlaps with decaffeinated, though decaffeinated specifically implies caffeine was removed rather than never present.
