A Few of My Favorite Things ~ {Teeccino Tea}

I'm not the best at changing old habits, and trying new things.  I like what I like.  Like coffee, I LIKE COFFEE.  Black Coffee.  Straight up, nothing in it, full of caffeine and all the other goodness, that my stomach doesn't quite approve of anymore.  So these four boxes of tea that's said to taste like coffee have been sitting around for a wee bit, serving me in no way what so ever.  (Yes every post for the next 400 days will focus on living on purpose, you'll get used to it I promise).

So the story with Teeccino, is that it's tea made with Chicory and other herbs, that it's caffeine free, and tastes just like coffee.  And other IBS, IBD, Fibro, Thyroid ladies with a need for daily coffee swear by it.  I ran off to Amazon and found this 4 pack pretty cheap to try it out.  I snapped a shot of the vanilla nut flavor so everyone can see the ingredient list...

I have a problem when I make it though.  The process gets my mind set on tea... I grab my shiny teapot, fill it up, wait for the whistle (yes I have and use a real tea pot, who can just drink one wee little cup of tea?), pour, wait for it to steep and do it's thing (I really need one of those tea holder dipper things.  Technical term of course).. and then I sip...

And it tastes like coffee.  But my mind thinks it should taste like tea.  And my taste buds are all sorts of confused.  So I suppose that's a win for the company, their tea really does taste like coffee, although maybe a bit weaker than my normal brew.  And so far, I haven't had any noticeable stomach issues either, all though I think it's too early to call a true success there.  There's defiantly no coffee jitters since it's caffeine free, and it's defiantly not sweet like many flavored coffees, which I prefer it not sweet, so there's a win for me.

Now to get myself in the habit of filling my favorite mug with Teechino in the morning instead of coffee to see if it helps make a difference with my health...  It's definitely a worthy product of the morning mug.

How about you?  What's your go-to for your favorite mug?
