Michelle broadened my tea horizons today with a surprise package including this un-coffee-in-a-bag, and as the temperatures dropped to my standards for “almost needing coffee,” it was perfect timing. I thought Teeccino pretty much owned the coffee-alternative line and didn’t realize TJ had ventured in the same direction.
For those of you familiar with Teeccino, I’d say this is most closely aligned with their plain, unadorned French Roast. Recommended steep time is 3-5 minutes. At 4 minutes, it was plenty strong and maybe just a hair more bitter than Teeccino’s straight-up stuff. Milk would have been a fair addition, but after several days of too-readily-available Christmas candy, a little bite was a welcome change of pace.
A cheaper and less tasty version of Teeccino :)
