Every cup of Teeccino is brimming with nutritious health benefits that are naturally released during brewing from Teeccino’s herbs, grains, fruits and nuts.

 The traditional Northern and Southern Italian style coffees are roasted in North Beach and in our South of Market (SOMA-ROMA) store.  Only roasted with 100% Arabica beans and our roasting techniques date back to old Italy. Each blend is roasted slowly to bring out the sweet character of the bean. Our roasters are Italian and German made, and electronically control time and temperature. Prepared without quenching (water-down) the coffees. The roasted beans are air cooled to preserve their special qualities and characters.

 A great cup of tea starts with fresh, cool, oxygenated water.  Never use tepid, long-standing, pre-heated or hot tap water. 

Measure the leaf - approximately one teaspoon per cup.  Heat the water and pour it directly over the leaves.  For green teas, heat it to the point where bubbles just begin to form.  For oolong teas, heat the water until the bubbles start to release and it is beginning to boil.  For black tea, allow the water to come to a gentle boil.

Steep the tea, about two and a half to three minutes for green, three minutes for oolong, and four minutes for black.  Make sure the leaves have enough room to unfurl completely by not overpacking the infuser.  Or simply steep the loose leaves and then pour the brewed tea through a strainer into a serving cup. 

Perfect tea is brewed one cup at a time.  Personal tastes vary of course - you'll want to adjust the measurements and brewing times according to your own preferences. 

Green Tea
Green Tea is plucked, rolled and fired (dried).  The firing arrests the natural oxidation and enzymatic action that takes place in a freshly harvested tea leaf.  The process preserves the natural antioxidants and fresh, vegetal flavors of the fresh leaf.

White Tea
White tea is a special, hand-selected green tea that contains the silvery-white, unopened leaf tips.  The tea is steamed immediately after picking to prevent any oxidation of the leaves.

Oolong Tea
Oolong is plucked, wilted, partially cured and fired.  The wilting and curing of the leaves allows partial oxidation and enzymatic reactions to take place.  Before these reactions manifest themselves in the entire leaf, the process is arrested with firing.  Oolong teas combine the fresh, vegetal flavors and aromas of green tea with the astringent, flowery aromas and flavors of black tea.

Black Tea
Black tea is plucked, wilted, fully cured, and fired.  The full curing produces a black, fully oxidized leaf that yields a rich amber brew, characterized by tannic, woody astringency with subtle flowery nuances.
