No Coffee. No Caffeine. No Problem!

Enjoy a wide variety of non-coffee and non-caffeine alternatives at Starbucks.

There’s nothing quite like a good pick-me-up beverage to renew our spirits and invigorate our soul. This is especially so during the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO), where most of us are encouraged to stay at home. For some, their go-to beverage of choice may be a delightful cup of coffee, while others is a hot cup of tea or an indulgent Frappuccino. Starbucks acknowledges the need to cater to non-coffee drinkers and people with caffeine sensitivity as well as providing varieties of beverages in store, which is why its menu features an extended list for everyone out there.

During this period, GrabFood and Foodpanda offers a wide selection of Starbucks beverages delivered right to your doorstep when you are in the mood for a little something without caffeine or something other than coffee, so here’s your rudimentary guide to decaf, non-coffee and non-caffeinated options at Starbucks!

Decaffeinated Coffee (Decaf) – All the flavor, minus the caffeine

For those who enjoy the bold flavors and aroma of their cup of java but would rather do without the caffeine (admit it, we know you’re out there!), Starbucks offers a decaf option on all their coffees, espresso-based beverages and Frappuccino as well.

The decaffeination process starts with steaming of the coffee beans for about 30 minutes, which opens up their pores.  These beans are then repeatedly rinsed with solvents for about ten hours to remove the caffeine from the coffee beans until it meets the required standards. However, it is important to note that the decaffeination process will still leave some caffeine behind, and that it is not 100% removed. According to American standards, a cup of decaf coffee is 97% caffeine free.

For those who do not care much for coffee but would still prefer a slight dose of caffeine, Starbucks offers a range of options including its very own Teavana® range of teas, which fuse together premium teas, botanicals and ingredients; years of expertise, and thoughtful practices to craft delicious tea blends with layered flavors created purely for your sipping pleasure!
