Teeccino Chicory Tea DandelionMochaMint x 10 Tea Bags
Peppermint leaves and organic cocoa powder make it mint chocolate; gluten-free roasted dandelion and chicory make it mocha by emulating coffee’s bitter richness with none of its caffeine or acidity. It’s a classic crave-for taste that also serves a purpose: peppermint helps settle nervous stomachs, while dandelion and chicory stimulate digestion and provide inulin, a soluble prebiotic fibre that promotes the growth of the healthy gut bacteria so important for digestive regularity and proper nutrient absorption. The brew is also rich in the electrolyte potassium, and is equally delicious hot or over ice.
- Teeccino’s famously flavourful caffeine-free herbal coffee is now gluten-free too!
- Roasted dandelion root & chicory for authentic full-bodied taste without the acidity
- Natural mint chocolate flavour from organic cocoa powder and peppermint leaves
Ingredients:
Carob, Chicory, Dandelion Root, Dates, Almonds, Natural Mocha Flavour, Cocoa Powder, Peppermint Leaf, Figs, Peppermint Oil.

Scientific benefits of tea
-
Antioxidants
Tea contains antioxidants, such as polyphenols, that help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals. This can contribute to overall health and potentially reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
-
Relaxation
Many teas, particularly those with L-theanine (like green tea), promote relaxation and reduce stress. This amino acid can enhance mood and improve focus by increasing alpha brain waves.
-
Caffeine Content
Most teas have lower caffeine levels compared to coffee, providing a gentle boost in alertness and energy. This makes tea a good choice for a milder, more sustained energy lift.
-
Hydration
Despite its caffeine content, tea can contribute to your daily fluid intake and help keep you hydrated. The diuretic effect of caffeine is generally not strong enough to counteract the hydration benefits.
-
Digestive Support
Various teas, such as ginger or peppermint, can aid in digestion and soothe digestive discomfort. They may help stimulate digestive enzymes and provide relief from nausea or bloating.
-
Heart Health
Regular consumption of tea, particularly types like black and green tea, has been linked to benefits for cardiovascular health. It may help lower LDL cholesterol levels and support healthy blood pressure.

How many times a day can I drink tea?
Generally, drinking 3 to 4 cups of tea per day is considered safe and beneficial for most people. However, individual tolerance to caffeine and other compounds can vary.
Can drinking tea cause side effects?
While tea is usually safe, excessive consumption can lead to side effects such as insomnia, jitteriness, or digestive issues due to caffeine. Herbal teas may cause allergic reactions or interact with medications, so moderation is key.
Is it safe to drink tea while pregnant?
Moderate tea consumption is generally safe during pregnancy. However, it's best to limit caffeine intake and consult a healthcare provider regarding specific types of tea, especially herbal varieties.
Does tea stain teeth?
Yes, tea can stain teeth over time due to its tannin content. Regular brushing and dental cleanings can help minimize staining.
Can tea interfere with iron absorption?
Yes, tea contains compounds that can inhibit the absorption of non-heme iron from plant-based foods. Drinking tea between meals rather than with meals can help mitigate this effect.
Are there any health benefits to drinking herbal teas?
Yes, herbal teas can offer various health benefits depending on the herbs used. For example, chamomile can aid in sleep, and peppermint may help with digestion. Always check for any potential interactions with medications or allergies.
