Suggestions for decaff fairly low acid coffee??
 
Due to health issues I am 'downgraded' as far as the coffee I drink.

Looking for suggestions for decaff and not really acidic coffee beans. Any suggestions??? I was able to drink Starbucks "half caf" breakfast blend but now have to eliminate caffeine from diet pretty much completely. It is like living without one of the major food groups!!!

Any suggestions from the coffee drinkers out there??? There have to be others who can drink the stuff!!!

My aunt cannot stand the high acidity in coffee, so knows of this trick where you add a few granules of salt to the coffee and it makes it 100% smoother. She says that you cannot taste the salt whatsoever. Another thing to remember is that espresso is much much smoother than coffee and has much less acidity so you may want to try an espresso based drink like an Americano from Starbucks. It's just espresso and water. It's very low in acid and incredibly smooth. Hope this info helps! :D

Asian coffees are generally low in acid. I'm a huge fan of Peet's Garuda Blend, which doesn't come in decaf, but they do have a decaf Sumatra that I expect would be quite good (Garuda is a blend of Indonesian stuff).
