1 lb Cans - Introductory Special
Save up to 15%

In the past, our 1 lb cans were reserved for our wholesale customers, but we’ve realized that many Teeccino customers like the convenience of a can with a measuring scoop. This espresso grind is slightly finer than the all-purpose grind that is packed in the 8.5 oz cans and 1 lb refill bags, but drips perfectly if you use a permanent filter. Perfect for Teeccino lovers who want the convenience of a 1 lb can with a scoop!

The "3 can" special expands.
One of our most popular "combo" specials, is our 3 can special. For just $20, 3 of our most popular flavors, Vanilla Nut, Java, and Mocha can be purchased. Due to the continued demand, and increasing requests for other combinations, we have expanded the flavor combinations. All combos are still just $20

Spice Tea Special

Heat & sweet, that’s what makes these spice teas so desirable. A cup of both Cardamom Cinnamon and Red Tea Chai gives you that lovely warm tingle with a touch of sweetness. Drink them either hot or iced after a meal and they’ll help you keep your blood sugar stable.

The Essential Minerals: Tips for Improving Absorption
All the good nutritional advice swirling around the media and the natural food world can be distilled into one simple rule; eat a nutrient rich, fiber dense diet. Despite our best efforts, our ability to absorb the nutrients we eat is often compromised by our diet and lifestyle. Optimal health becomes dependant on our capacity to utilize the nutrients in our food in order to get the most value from what we eat.

Of all the essential nutrients our bodies depend on for optimal health, minerals are the most difficult to absorb. Typically only 30% of the calcium we eat is utilized while the rest is excreted. Unwittingly, people drinking a cup of coffee with their meals decrease the absorption of these essential minerals. Caffeine and other constituents in coffee cause the body to excrete minerals in the urine, especially calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron. Fortunately, every cup of Teeccino increases mineral absorption and improves the body’s ability to use them. Click Here to learn about the role of the essential minerals in creating optimal health and how to optimize your body’s ability to absorb and utilize them.



Teeccino Turns Ten: 10th Anniversary Celebration at Expo West!

Natural Products Expo 2005
Teeccino Booth
In 1995, Teeccino was launched at the Natural Products Expo in Anaheim, California. This March, after a three year absence, we returned to the show to celebrate our tenth year anniversary. With two new product lines to introduce and our domination of the coffee alternatives category, we were ready to party!
Data collected by Spins, the leading provider of sales tracking information for the natural foods industry, shows that in 2004, sales of Teeccino were 48% of the coffee alternatives market, up from 34% in 2003. Additionally, Teeccino contributed 85% of the positive dollar growth in the category. Our nearest competitor only had an 18% share of the category and only two other brands contributed slightly more than 5% each to the positive dollar growth of the category. Clearly we were in a celebrating mood!

Teeccino Fans Testify: Teeccino Relieves Anxiety
This email from a ten year old touced my heart when it arrived! Zane has become my "pen pal" now and over the last few months, his spelling has improved.

thank you for bringing teeccino to the world
Zane K., age 10

You would swear this is cofee - Delicious!

"I want to join the long line of people to thank you for this wonderful product. I first heard about Teeccino while reading about the Fat Flush Plan. My caffeine of choice was alway a strong cup of hot tea. Coffee has always disagreed with me, giving me stomach aches, bloating, the jitters and insomnia. Well, I went on the Fat Flush Plan which requires you to cut out all caffeine. I did that, not too much problem. But I still missed that cup of something hot and comforting. I just received my Teeccino today and brewed myself a cup of Mocha flavor with the single-cup brewer. I'll admit I was sure it would taste disappointing. Wow! I simply can't believe how much this tastes like coffee! I am forever grateful to you for this delicious (and healthful) brew. Now I can have my cup of Teeccino anytime I want, even near bedtime, without fear of insomnia. That it is good for me too, well, that is just an added bonus. Thank you!"

Vicki, P., Houston, TX.

FAQ: 8.5 Oz Can - Why Is it Half Full?
Why do Teeccino 8.5 oz cans look only half full when opened for the first time?

"Our cans do have a lot of headspace especially after sitting in transit and on the shelf. When we began marketing Teeccino, we had to achieve a low enough shelf price to encourage trial purchase. A high shelf price simply discourages first time buyers. This can was the only one available to us from our co-packer and thus, we couldn’t fill it all the way up. Although the can could actually hold 12 oz, we continue to pack it with 8.5 oz for that lower shelf price. I advise people who are offended by the head space to ask their store to carry our 1 lb cans or to buy the 1 lb refill bag on our website. That way the 8.5 oz can is reused. By the way, 80% of the materials used to manufacture our cans are from recycled materials!"

Toasting Teeccino
Caroline MacDougall and Jerry Isenberg Toast Teeccino's Tenth
You may remember reading in our 2004 holiday newsletter about the Travel'n Chefs who create fabulous recipes using Teeccino. To celebrate our 10th anniversary at Natural Products Expo, we asked this inspired duo to make us a memorable cake that would delight the taste buds of our guests.
I love a cake that has some substance to it; it needs to be rich and moist of course, but just plain old butter, sugar and flour cakes don’t make my heart flutter. When they proposed a ginger cake made with Hazelnut Teeccino covered with a Mocha Teeccino glaze now that made my taste buds salivate like Pavlov’s dog! Yours will too when you taste this magnificent combination of spice and Teeccino. We recommend it accompanied by a glass of Prosecco, the light sparkling wine that Italians sip as an aperitif before meals or as an alternative to beer or soda. Celebrate our 10th anniversary with every bite you take!
