Is being gluten-free important to you? Even though Teeccino has been tested to have no detectable levels of gluten at 5 parts per million when brewed using a paper filter, you may be worried that you might still experience a reaction to the barley in Teeccino. Understanding that gluten-sensitive people, just like caffeine-sensitive people, can be hyper sensitive to trace gluten, I decided it was time to create a barley-free coffee alternative that is absolutely gluten-free.
Teeccino Dandelion Vanilla Nut tastes just like Mediterranean Vanilla Nut with its rich, nutty creaminess that has such universal appeal, it has always been Teeccino’s top selling flavor from day one. Dandelion Vanilla Nut brings the health benefits of roasted dandelion root including its inulin content, antioxidants, and stimulating effects on liver function to your cup. With more dandelion root per serving than any other brand puts in their tea bags, Teeccino Dandelion Vanilla Nut produces a cup where deliciousness meets the health benefits of nature’s healing herbs.
Ingredients: Roasted organic carob, organic chicory, organic dandelion root, dates, almonds, organic figs, natural vanilla extract, natural nut flavor.
Contains: Almonds.

"When I first got this, I was really disappointed in the flavor. A little too bright along the sides of my tongue. But having bought an 11 oz bag, I kept playing with it. I added things. Eh. Finally I tried making it a little stronger than recommended and steeped it a little longer. Voila! I now love it. "

"I am in Australia, so have been prepared to pay the extra with the US$ exchange and postage (a killer!) because we loved the Vanilla Nut formula. However it has been changed with addition of dandelion and removal of barley. Now its much much weaker (requires double the amount to get any flavour) and the taste is not nearly as nice. I used to have to limit my teechinos in a day cause I was always wanting one - now I have to make myself drink it because it cost so much! Will NOT be ordering any more."

"This was my first taste at dandelion alternative coffee/tea and it was great. I love that it comes in ground form because, for me, one of the things I enjoyed about drinking coffee was preparing my grounds (weird I know). Good taste and I don't have to add anything. "

"I have been a fan of Teeccino for a few years now. I love the rich flavor and I value the detoxifying properties of dandelion root, and the antioxidants from the dates, figs and almonds. It not only tastes amazing, but has health benefits as well. "

"As with many others I am a GF Severe Allergen customer who is thrilled and thankful for Teeccino. This flavor is by far the best product to start weaning coffee from. Light, fragrant, and still makes it easy to play with flavors to find that right hint of extra for you. I like to add frozen fruit to my infuser as a great way to enhance that rich taste. "

"This is an excellent substitute for coffee. Now on a gluten free diet after researching found that Teeccino does have a gluten substitute.
It has a wonderful flavor, and I found it also satisfies any sweet tooth. The vanilla Nut is an excellent drink.
I've since ordered the Caramel Nut and find it has a little bit sweeter taste and the good thing about both orders it comes in tea bags which I take several to work with me to have at the office. "

"I love this coffee and have been purchasing it since I discovered in 2013. It adds a decadent indulgence to my everyday joe (with caffeine) yes I mix them together in the filter. Or if I am feeling like coffee at night, i will have this alone like a desert drink with a little cream. Perfect!"

"I had switched to herbal tea when coffee after noon became a problem, but never found it as satisfying as coffee. My sister introduced me to Teeccino and I love it. Now on these cold afternoons, I look forward to curling up with a book and a cup of Teeccino."

"I am both gluten intolerant and I'm unable to have coffee anymore as well. So this one I order every time, because it is my favorite coffee substitute, and the best part is it's GF. Vanilla Nut Herbal makes me get the taste of coffee with none of the problems that go with it for me."

"I thought Teeccino couldn't get any better. I drink the Hazelnut almost exclusively, but I do like French Vanilla and Maya French Roast. I had already been drinking dandelion root tea because of its cleansing and detoxifying effects on the liver, but when I ordered the dandelion tee-bag samples, I was pleasantly surprised and very pleased. Now, all I want to drink is the Dandelion Vanilla Nut flavor. It tastes even more like coffee than the Teeccino without dandelion.
Kudos to Caroline MacDougall for her creativity and always striving for a better product."

"I have been drinking coffee for years and have been unable to quit. Due to the high acidity and knowing it interfears with absorbtion of nutrients I decided I just had to quit. Being in sales in the natural products industry I knew of Teeccino but had never tried it. I love it and I tell everyone it is a must buy! The nutty flavor is just the best. I love tea as well but to replace coffee hands down best product out there!

"Please let me start by saying that I truly love Teeccino's herbal coffee's. I have used several in the past. I decided to try the Dandelion flavors. I drink my coffee black and this coffee is great until you get to the aftertaste. You can really taste the dandelions and I don't like it. If you put sweetener and cream in it, it's fabulous. I drink mine black, so it's not working for me. Hubby loves it. I'll go back to the herbals. "

"This is my second favorite flavor, but we alternate with our favorite (Dandelion Mocha) just for variety. We brew a pot of Teeccino every day and usually like it best with a little creamer and an inch of milk.
We like other Teeccino varieties, but the likelihood of getting some of the grounds in the cup was too risky for my celiac husband. Thank you for developing the Dandelion flavors, which contain no barley at all. "

"I like the taste. 4 rating is only because I like the Dark Roast better. Super to have the choice finally as a Gluten-Allergic, Caffeine-free (by choice) individual to have my "hot drink" whenever I want it. I use a French Press for speed and best flavor."

"I have been drinking regular Teeccino for years but was worried about the barley since I am celiac.
Now I don't have to worry and the taste is oustanding! My husband is pretty fussy, he'll drink only one kind of the teeccino with barley and none of the flavored ones but he really likes this vanilla nut!"

"This dandelion version of Vanilla Nut makes the other Vanilla Nut seem just "okay."
Now I have 3 favourites: Java, French Roast, Dandelion Vanilla Nut.
What a great idea! And now, if you wanted to, you could bake with the leftover grounds (Teeccino smells like cake so why not put it *in* cake?)."

Dates and figs slightly sweeten Teeccino's Mediterranean flavors without adding significantly to the calories per serving. Dates and figs contain antioxidants that are water soluble and extract during brewing.
Teeccino's Mediterranean flavors contain golden roasted almonds that create a rich, nutty flavor yet don't add any fat to a cup of Teeccino. Almonds also contain significant quantities of antioxidants including proanthocyanidins (OPCs) and...
Dandelion root is popular in modern cleansing and detox diets due to its reputation for stimulating the liver and bile. It has a long history of use as a coffee alternative.
