The solvents used to obtain decaf coffee also remove some of the flavour molecules. These are then added back.
One way is to perform a first extraction with water, then shake up the water with a small volume of methylene chloride, or pass it through a charcoal filter. Both processes selectively remove the caffeine from the water but leave most of the flavour molecules.
