Caffeine is tasteless so technically it should have the same exact flavor.

  I thought its bitter. I think I can taste the difference in sodas.

  Caffeine, like nearly all alkaloids is characteristically bitter. https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/caffeine#section=Experimental-Properties https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/caffeine#section=E...

  It's very bitter, decaffeinated tea and coffee both taste very mild relative to normal tea and coffee.

    But cold brew (which has same amount of caffeine but less acids) tastes less mild than decaf, so it’s probably acidity as well.
