I was a hard-core 16 cup a day coffee addict for over 20 years. Coming from a medical background, I knew better. Many occasions I tried to just cut down. The headaches and fatigue were debilitating. Sadly, I was so proud of myself for cutting down to only 8 cups/day during my pregnancies; that was only because coffee did not smell good to me. 2 years ago I ran across an ad for Teecino purely by accident. The claims seemed too good to be true, but I was desperate as I had been diagnosed with some health issues that would benifit from no caffeine. I reluctantly tried it, following the directions carefully. SUCCESS!!!!!
