Like I mentioned in a past Teeccino tasting note, I was surprised to see that they carried two different pecan flavours – that seems like such a niche nut for two different options! My hope with this one was that it would be more buttery and creamy as I associated the “Southern Pecan” name with more of a “Butter Pecan” taste/profile. It definitely didn’t match up with that expectation, but more than that it also just didn’t feel distinct enough from Teeccino’s Maple Pecan either!? Neither really taste like pecan, and overall it was just kind of a meh cup. Still tasty because the base ingredients used in all of these blends are really tasty with the sweet carob/date last roasted profile. Just not really stand out like some of their other flavours have been.
I’m not sure I’ve seen either pecan option locally — you’ve just given me a reason to hit the tea aisle at Natural Grocers!
Vitacost has teecino at excellent prices! Amazon has some 25 bag boxes that are not too terribly expensive. I used a coupkn and got a couple of boxes at Vitacost for around $4. Going loose leaf next.
I’ve never seen Teeccino at any stores before! Now I’ll have to go hunting for some!
