French Roast gone dandelion; that was my inspiration when I created Dandelion Dark Roast for those who want to be gluten free. Remove the barley, add dandelion root, simple as that. But, what I didn’t fully realize was how dark roasted dandelion roots would add their own bitter flare to make this brew uniquely appealing to coffee and tea purists alike. Now I’ve discovered that people love that dandelion bitter under-note and of course, love the detox properties dandelion root stimulates in their bodies.
Every cup combines the health benefits of roasted dandelion root with roasted ramón seeds, French chicory roots and carob pods. Dandelion and chicory roots contain inulin, a prebiotic soluble fiber that feeds your probiotics, along with antioxidants, minerals and bitter stimulating effects on liver function.
Roasted ramón seeds, from the Maya Biosphere Reserve, are also called “Capomo” or the “corn tree” by the Maya, who drank this roasted brew before the Spaniards ever brought the coffee tree to the Americas. Combining the flavors notes of both chocolate and coffee, ramón seeds add depth to this brew. With more dandelion root and herbs per serving than any other brand, Teeccino Dandelion Dark Roast produces a cup where the deep, full-bodied flavor of coffee meets the health benefits of nature’s healing herbs.
No other brand of coffee alternatives offers certified gluten-free flavors. Even though Teeccino’s Maya and Mediterranean flavors have been tested to have no detectable levels of gluten at 5 parts per million when brewed using a paper filter or a tea bag, you may be worried that you might still experience a reaction to the barley in Teeccino. Enjoy all of Teeccino’s Dandelion certified gluten-free flavors knowing that you don’t have to worry about any exposure to gluten!

Satisfying drink in place of coffee.
This particular flavor has grown on me and I drink it in place of my usual morning coffee, since I can’t handle caffeine anymore. At first, it tasted okay, but didn’t compare to coffee. However, I didn’t give up on it and kept drinking it throughout the week, and now I savor it. It’s like my little treat for the day. It really does have a nice aroma and good flavor similar to coffee and I would recommend this as the best coffee sub I’ve found thus far.
