Is there difference in taste in regular and decaf coffee?

i've been wanting to cut back on caffeine and am considering decaf coffee. i've never tried it and wanted to ask people's opinions on whether they can tell the difference ie. obvious, subtle, or something else.

i've found a regular, everyday coffee i really like (Tully's House Blend) that isn't bitter or acidic and want to buy the decaf if they taste the same.
i cannot live without coffee.....

There is a difference in taste between the two. But depending on your taste buds, it's usually not a hugely noticeable difference. Decaf coffee goes through one of two different processes (Swiss Water Processing or European Processing which uses chemicals). Decaf coffee IS regular coffee, BTW, before processing and processing actually leaves about 1-2% of the caffeine in the bean. Because of this additional step of processing, the coffee looses a *bit* of its original flavor and taste. Again, it really depends on how much you are actually looking for the taste difference. I can actually smell the difference between regular and decaf (before its brewed:)) but that's only because I'm a coffee geek! Why not try half regular and half decaf to start and then you can slowly decrease the decaffeinated coffee. that way it will be more gradual of a change, and you save yourself the potential caffeine withdrawal headaches!
