Support the Rainforest


I first heard of this stuff back in the 1960s, while working for a small private power company in Northern Ontario. One of our operators who like most of us was addicted to coffee came back from town with some of it one day, to use as a substitute for coffee, because it contains caffeine but not as much as coffee.

It comes from the rainforests on the Atlantic side of South America in countries like Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, and is harvested by the local farmers.

So how does it taste, you ask. It's quite mild and pleasant, with a slightly minty flavor. I like it with sugar but without milk, and my old pal Lloyd of long ago was right - it is a nice substitute for coffee, if you need to cut down on that. You can drink three cups of this for every cup of coffee without getting too buzzed... so if coffee is a problem for you, then you should try this.
