After years of enjoying coffee, it begin to disagree with me. I was in denial for quite some time and the thought of giving it up was...well...pretty much unbearable! The rituals around drinking coffee in the morning were entrenched too: the newspaper, the crossword, the Ken-Ken, the wonderful aroma. Around this same time I got the stark news that I would need to be on a strictly gluten-free diet. Another blow to this foodie! Embarking on a new diet was so unpleasant initially - all I felt was deprived. Until one magical day when I attended the Gluten Free Expo in South San Francisco and had the good fortune of stepping up to the Teeccino booth. I was very skeptical at first. As I reluctantly sipped from a small paper cup, the flavor exploded in my mouth! It was smooth, it was fragrant, it was heaven. Teeccino gave me my morning ritual back. I love the taste and have now tried about 4 different flavors. Vanilla and Hazelnut are my favorite. I now order about 5 bags of ground Teeccino at a time. Thank you Teeccino!
