There are no strictly set rules. The Word of Wisdom says "hot drinks are not for the belly or the body" and we have been told that this means coffee and tea. However, we don't know whether this is indeed because of the caffeine, we just know that we are not supposed to drink coffee and tea. So no, we wouldn't drink de-caff either. And I do drink coke and eat chocolate, even though those contain caffeine.
The Word of Wisdom isn't just about what we can't do. It is an entire health plan which says that we shouldn't drink tea or coffee, shouldn't smoke or chew tobbaco, shouldn't drink alcohol or take harmful drugs, and should eat meat sparingly and eat lots of whole grains and vegetables. What is amazing is that this revelation was given in 1833, in an age where people still thought that vegetables were an inferior food to meat and smoking was good for the heart. And no one knew anything about caffeine or mouth and lung cancer.
Mormons who live the Word of Wisdom live an average of ten years longer than the general population. (OK, who said "It just feels like longer"??!?)

Drinking tea shouldn't keep you from getting pregnant but once you are you need to cut down on tea and other caffeine drinks. There's something in tea especially that blocks the absorption of iron and can cause you to become anemic during pregnancy.

No, Mormons don't drink de-caff. Even though it says de-caffinated, there is still caffiene in it. Plus other unhealthy substances, e.g. tannin in tea.

It is my understanding that it's up to the families what they drink. My friends grew up Mormon, would't drink tea, but had Dr. Pepper & 7 up. Go figure. She said that the families decide what is right for them.
