Hare Krishna!
As a devotee, it is important to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Consuming decaf coffee/tea in moderation is not prohibited in Vedic culture. However, it is recommended to avoid caffeine as it can have negative effects on the body and mind. Lord Krishna teaches us to treat our body as a temple and to nourish it with pure and healthy foods. As Srila Prabhupada said, "We should not eat anything which is not offered first to Krishna." Therefore, if you choose to consume decaf coffee/tea, it is best to offer it to Lord Krishna before consuming it. I hope this helps.
Please accept my humble obediences.
Thank you very much for the guidance 🙏🏻
