That is good news. I don't want to lie awake in Buenos Aires as soon as I've arrived.

I will make a point of asking if decaf is available while making my appointed cafe rounds.

I ordered a decaf cappuccino this week for the first time in my life and had no trouble sleeping that night.

I've heard this before, but if I have arabica beans I never sleep a wink. Green tea stains my teeth and juices contain too much sugar. I don't have much of an alternative.

Cafe Martinez has decaf.
