I have been a die hard Starbucks Gold Card member ever since the Gold Card became a thing. I loved the "dark" profile of their coffees and their "dirty chai". I was caffeinated for years. Every once in a while I would go "de-caf" and suffer the withdrawals. Over the last two years I broke my caffeine addiction and went totally with the decaf espresso roast. About 6 months ago I started to develop acid reflux. I noticed Teeccino at my local health food store and gave it a try. Yeow!! Need I say more than to say that I have not visited a Starbucks every since and I have not had any recurrence of acid reflux! I am now a devout Teeccinoite.
