The decaf Verona Cafe is my one of my favorites and the only decaffeinated coffee in my coffee collection. When you have had a long day and don’t feel like super sweet hot cocoa but actually wish to follow your tasty beverage with sleep, there really is no substitute. It doesn’t need cream or sugar, it is perfect the way it is. I finally ran out of my supply the other day and went to go get some more. I usually pick it up at the grocery store but have had issues locating it since you changed the packaging (which is really unattractive and off putting by the way…). At the time I just presumed that it was just that it had already sold out. But Saturday I had to search for it in earnest. I visited 4 different grocery stores, and then 3 of your store locations. The first two didn’t have it and told me to check back when their trucks came in. The last store confirmed my worries and told me that you just don’t make it anymore. She then unhelpfully suggested one of your other decafs like the Sumatran, which tastes NOTHING LIKE THE VERONA CAFE.
Now, by passing the aggravating and fruitless experience of searching for my favorite nighttime coffee culminating in one of your staff letting me know that I can’t get it anymore then following that up with a suggestion that it is totally inter-changable with any other decaf coffee, particularly one whose flavor suggests some one took stale coffee and mixed it with grass clippings, is it true that you are no longer making the decaf Verona Cafe? I see it is still available on amazon and your site here but the pictures of of your old packaging, that was actually attractive by the way and less suggestive that the product inside said packaging was a children’s book or ambient music playlist…, makes me exceedingly worried that is indeed the case. As it is super delicious I find it hard to imagine that it isn’t popular enough, though I suppose that could be a possibility. Please let me know. I can’t really afford at the moment to stockpile in the “OMG-nuclear/zombie-apocalypse,-to-the-fall-out-shelter-and-it’s-lifetime-supply-of-life-sustaining-products!” kind of way that I would like to, but disregarding the sale of a kidney, maybe I can at least acquire a few bags to get me by until I can discover a reasonable replacement.
