teeccino

i've been wanting to kick my caffeine habit for quite some time, but working at starbucks makes it a little difficult (although I did do it for about 8 months some years ago). anyways, i've been hearing the buzz (no pun intended) about teeccino, a non-coffee coffee.

Teeccino Caffeine-free Herbal Coffee is a delicious blend of herbs, grains, fruits and nuts (carob, dates, figs, almonds, and chicory) 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!






Teeccino offers a number of health benefits to help coffee drinkers achieve optimal health:

* Naturally caffeine-free - no processing, no chemical residues
* High in heart-healthy potassium
* Natural energy boost - from nutrients, not stimulants
* Alkaline - helps reduce acidity and restore alkaline balance
* A soluble fiber in chicory root, that helps improve digestion and elimination plus increases the absorption of calcium and minerals

so, tomorrow at work, i'm going to buy a nice french press & start doing half caffeine (ironically enough, i've always been horrible at making a good cup of coffee at home, whether that be with a perculator, or regular coffee pot, but the ratio of hot water to coffee in a french press is much easier). i will then slowly go no caffeine (hopefully). this seems to be a good solution to the problem of drinking coffee, even if i have limited myself to just one 12 ounce cup with a little bit of soy. definitely would recommend this to anyone also trying to kick it!
