Ever seen a Maya ruin still covered in a mound of dirt awaiting future excavation? If so, you would have noticed all the trees growing out of the mound with gnarly roots that seem to be clutching the mystery of what’s beneath the hill with a fierce protectiveness. You guessed it. Those are ramon trees. It turns out that not only did the Maya intensively plant ramon trees in their forest gardens, but ramon trees love limestone, exactly the stone used to build Maya monuments. Plus ramon is the only species of native plant that is wind pollinated so you find ramon trees repopulating deforested areas throughout the Maya Biosphere Reserve. To a ramon tree, the abandoned Maya cities were fertile ground! Unlocking the secrets of the ramon is another challenge all together. I’ve spent the last year working intensively with a team in Guatemala to learn when the ramon fruit ripens and drops its seed, the ramon nut, to the ground. Then figuring out the right method to dry, roast, and grind the nut has been our ongoing challenge.

View Here Stephen Colbert's Goodbye Joe Starbucks can’t raise their prices 5¢/cup without the world reacting. So when I saw Stephen Colbert’s hilarious attempt to "Kick The Coffee Habit", I just had to respond. Watch the Colbert clip on their website and then watch my video response welcoming Colbert to Teeccino’s Kick The Coffee Habit Club. Hope you get some good laughs! No Longer Available Tough Buyers at Trader Joes So Trader Joes actually called us almost a year ago. I had this lovely conversation with the buyer who said she had gotten so many requests for Teeccino, and she promised to be responsive unlike previous Trader Joe buyers, so I sent her a nice package of Teeccino. Then she went deaf. Helloooo? How hard is it to respond at least by email even if the answer is no? So if you are a Trader Joe shopper, go after her. Stuff their suggestion box with requests for Teeccino next time you’re shopping and maybe she’ll take the wax out of her ears! Plus you can email your request to Trader Joes’ Customer Service, click here Teeccino Fans Testify! I have to say, thank you for creating such a wonderful product! I am now drinking Teeccino every day in the morning instead of my usual Starbucks coffee. Sometimes I even whip up a nice latté in the evening using light soy milk and Stevia to sweeten it. I am such a fan! I have been reading about the acid/alkaline balance and its importance to a healthy body, and drinking Teeccino is so guiltless for me. I don't have those caffeine rushes and downers any more, and no worries about acid overload. Just wanted to say, Thank you! Great product! I'll keep buying! K. K., Scottsdale, AZ Teeccino in Coffee Bars If you’re frustrated at not being able to get your store’s coffee bar or local café to serve Teeccino, I’ve got just the thing for you. We produced a Teeccino Food Service Training DVD with a great pitch as to why they should serve a coffee alternative just like they serve a non-dairy alternative. Want to march one into your store or café with a sample packet? Click here to email Denise and she’ll send you out the introductory package right away! Maya Chai Pumpkin Pie The holiday season is upon us! Want to get rave reviews about your pumpkin pie compared to anyone else’s? Maya Chai is your secret ingredient. Steep Maya Chai in hot cream or Silk Non-Dairy Creamer and let its fabulous spicy flavor infuse its aromatic richness into the cream. Then strain and follow the directions for making this yummy pie. Anyone out there still bake the pumpkin from scratch instead of using canned? It’s a tradition in our household, complete with roasting the seeds in the oven after all the hard work of scooping them out. This pie will be delicious whether you use canned or fresh. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones! Click Here for the recipe Click Here to see all the Teeccino inspired recipes.
