Teeccino - Medium Roast Caffeine Free Chicory Herbal Coffee Vanilla Nut (11oz)

I had to stop drinking coffee for health reasons, which was a huge bummer, and have been looking for something that would fill that void for some time now. Well, drum roll....... I've found it! Finally! Now, its not coffee, nor does it taste exactly like coffee, but it's close enough (and that's a good thing). I've only tried a couple flavors (chocolate and vanilla nut) and both are very tasty. I'm really looking forward to trying some other flavors, especially Java, and see what I find to be my favorite. All in all, it's really a great product and I'm so glad I discovered it. So, if you're looking for a good coffee alternative then definitely give this a shot. It's not the cheapest, but I feel its worth it. I give it *****

I started researching this product b/c I was trying to purge my body of caffeine and a few other man-made, unnatural ingredients to give my liver a break. It does not taste like coffee, but still goes very well as a drink INSTEAD of coffee, any time you would normally drink coffee - in the morning, sitting at your desk, after dessert, etc. I have made it in a french press as well as made espresso shots with it for lattes. Its texture is like coffee, but with a little fruitier and nutty flavor. It does wake you up some just b/c its an enjoyable, non-dairy, hot drink that doesn't seem to dehydrate you like caffeine and alcohol products.For those with sensitive stomachs - this product is alkaline (opposite of coffee which is acidic) and is GOOD for you. My girlfriend stomach does "flips" after drinking acidic beverages, and this product does NOT cause that. Even mixing half Teeccino and half regular coffee seemed to be enough to neutralize the coffee's acidity and allow her to enjoy her beverage (which actually tastes really good mixed half and half).

Last summer I was informed by my allergist that I was allergic to coffee. I LOVE coffee, so this was a huge downer for me. I quit drinking coffee and feel much better for it but honestly, tea, hot water and other coffee substitutes just don't have the same satisfying bold taste that coffee does. A friend suggested Teeccino and I thought, "why not? I've tried everything else." I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!! At first, I drip brewed it in my coffee pot according to the instructions (1 TBSP. per 2 cups water) and it didn't really taste like coffee... kind of but not quite. I have been playing with the mixture and have found that 1 1/2 TSP. per 5 cups of water makes the drink taste EXACTLY like coffee!! Now my mornings are complete again!

I started drinking Teeccino after giving up coffee last Fall. I was purchasing it at Whole Foods, but the 3 pack on Amazon is a slightly better deal. I have grown to really enjoy the taste of this herbal coffee, but I will admit that whenever I do have a regular coffee I am reminded of how delicious real coffee is in comparison. I think you have to enjoy this beverage for what it is and not try to compare it to coffee. It's much weaker and slightly sweet but not too sweet. I can't stand sweetened beverages, and this flavor (nor any of the other flavors like mocha) bother me at all.

This is my second time trying Teeccino and I must say the more I drink it the better I like it. As I've gotten older, coffee is having adverse effects my digestive track and it's not been good so I need something else and tea just doesn't cut it. Teeccino seems to be about as close to coffee as one can get without being coffee. The mint was really good and this vanilla nut may even be better. Teeccino doesn't leave that bad aftertaste coffee gives you (even the really good stuff) and it seems to give a slight energy boost. Nothing like coffee though. No brain stimulation. I think the energy comes from the inulin. I did some research on inulin and I suggest you do the same. I'm still not sure if it's a good thing or not. Some say yes and others no. It doesn't seem to have a negative effect on me as of yet. If you need to get off of coffee or hot chocolate or your just tired of drinking tea give Teeccino a try. I think you'll be quite pleased. Oh yea... I put honey and milk in mine and it's really good that way.I've been making a pitcher at the beginning of the week and keeping it in the fridge. It seems to keep very well. It's easier to heat up a cup on the stove in the morning so I don't wake the entire house with the noise of the coffee maker or microwave.
