I suppose this should have been my first flavor, but in fact I created it fourth. It emerged to satisfy the desire for an unflavored herbal coffee by people who relish the blackness of regular coffee. But being an herbal beverage designer, I couldn't resist giving it just a hint of orange peel to produce a fruity top note. There is something too wonderful about the contrast between the intensity of a dark roast highlighted by the sparkle of sweet tanginess -- well, you'll just have to try it for yourself to see if you agree with me. If you don't, and purity is your preference -- try Java instead.

Teeccino Caffeine-free Herbal Coffee is a delicious blend of herbs, grains, fruits and nuts that are roasted and ground to brew and taste just like coffee. Coffee lovers are attracted to Teeccino’s full-bodied, dark roasted flavor and its nutritious health benefits. Teeccino allows coffee drinkers to keep their cherished coffee ritual with all the enjoyment and satisfaction of a freshly brewed cup.

Six nutritious ingredients create the rich body of Teeccino. Each one has been safely consumed as foods for thousands of years: carob, barley, chicory, dates, figs and almonds. Teeccino herbal coffee tastes so much like coffee that people think there must be coffee in it! Unlike decaf coffee that still contains caffeine and has high acidity, there has not been any chemical processing or extraction of any Teeccino ingredient because they are all naturally caffeine free.

Teeccino is highly nutritious because all of the herbs in its proprietary formula are high in essential vitamins, minerals and phyto-nutrients that have been consumed for thousands of years. Some of the herbs in Teeccino are bitter which help promote good digestion. Additionally, chicory root contains inulin, a soluble fiber that nourishes a healthy population of beneficial digestive flora. Teeccino tastes mildly sweet from the addition of dates and figs and most people don't need to sweeten Teeccino even if they normally sweeten coffee. Thus, Teeccino helps people reduce their sugar intake. Unlike coffee, which has no nutritional value, Teeccino has 15 calories per 8 oz. cup and 1 gram of fiber. Perhaps of most importance to coffee drinkers, Teeccino contains 65 mg of potassium to give your body a natural energy lift.
