Freedom


This 16oz. traveler is fulled to the rim with my coffee alternative...vanilla nut 75% organic Mediterranean herbal coffee branded "Teccino". It's naturally caffeine free (I'm highly caffeine sensitive and convert into a panic attack freak-a-ziod if consumed) and non acidic. It's creamy vanilla accented by golden roasted almonds, dates & figs possesses a medium roast w/a rich smooth body in it's 11oz/312g all-purpose grind packaging. I steep teccino in my french press pot. It states on the packaged literature that it gives a natural energy boost from nutrients not stimulants, is heart healthy in potassium and prebiotic from the inulin in chicory root. They boast it is beyond fair trade: creating new trade in their first world farmers network, small family farms & rainforest village trades.

I created a coffeehouse from scratch 6 years ago of which I sold last year. I have made all the specialty coffee drinks, salads & panini's, catered events, live music & open mic nights I care to in this life. I now am the artist who puts her work on the coffeehouse walls, I am now the woman who can enjoy the atmosphere without work responsibilities. I have my self-designed travel mug to remind me each morning of how I came to be in this very moment. I have found a freedom in birthing an idea, seeing it grow, then letting it go. It's a wonderful place to have arrived.
