Where can I buy decaffeinated coffee in seoul?

I wanna buy it both to drink in coffee shops and I also want to be able
to buy the beans so that I can grind it at home

[Drew345]

I have never seen it for sale as a drink in any coffee shop. I usually stick with juice at night.
I never saw it as beans, but there is usually some power for making filter coffee at Hannam market.
Tons of instant decaf coffee around; pre-packaged with tons of sugar for your convenience.
Any other information about finding it in coffee shops? Seeing how Korean coffee shops are basically night time places (not even open in the morning), I'm surprised decaf isn't offered.

Namdaemun market opposite Alpha art store has a black market shop. They have Folgers and Nescafe decaf coffee. Not sure prices but that might help you.

home plus has decaf both instant and ground

Caribou Coffee--Yangjae, Ihwa area, Incheon airport, and I think by Sadang.

They brew decaf coffee plus espresso.

I like going there--love the hunting lodge decor and faux fireplace.
Makes me feel like I'm back home in the winter, in a Disneyland sort of way.

Do check it out.

So sad it is time to revive this thread.
After 4 years of having Tesco brand decaf coffee available from Home Plus, it has vanished.
So, anyone seed decaf coffee for sale, beans or ground (not instant or 3-in-1 sticks).
Thanks.

I ordered it from iHerb when I was drinking decaf. Cheap and quick postage.

[Drew345]

Thanks, that's good to know about iherb.
I found some at the Foreign Food Market in Itaewon. It was on sale because the date on it expires next month. Maybe the last Decaf to be found in Seoul, go pick up as much as you can drink in the next month.
Oh, the Hannam Market was closed down (maybe for years already?) The small Costco reseller is still doing business in the "lobby" area in front of the Hannam market.

It's pricey, but Club Espresso has a decaf blend.

That's great too. The cheapest decaf on gmarket was like 70,000 !
Thanks for the info.

Some coffee beans have/had decaf for a bit, may still.
