Chicory Root - Botanical Tea Pods (24 per box)

There are, in fact, some people who don’t like to drink coffee. If caffeinated beans aren’t your thing, enter Chicory Root (Cicorium intybus), a nutritious and flavorful plant that contains natural vegetable fiber in its deep roots. Chicory root has been cultivated since Egyptian times and is a cousin of the common dandelion. If you fast-forward to more modern times, chicory root was widely used during the Civil War to make coffee rations last longer. Throughout the southern United States, particularly Louisiana, Chicory Root is still commonly blended with coffee to deliver a savory punch and can be found in almost every cafe in the Big Easy.

Chicory Root is prized for its high natural fibers, known as Inulin. Inulin from Chicory Root is used in many foods to increase beneficial fiber without cutting back on fat and sugar. It adds creaminess and density to baked goods and can also be eaten boiled as a vegetable. Due to its natural prebiotic reputation, as well as being a fibrous root vegetable, Chicory is used commonly to aid digestion. You can brew our savory and toasty roasted Chicory Root as a coffee substitute or add it to your coffee for a flavor upgrade (with some bonus healthful benefits)!

Reviews

Great alternative to decaf

"I have switched to chicory root tea as an alternative to decaf. (I am highly sensitive to caffeine. ) I add french vanilla creamer, and it's yummy!"

— Martha C. (5/5)

Flavor enhancer

"I like to add this to my black coffee (auto drip or pourover) or hot tea to heighten the taste it doesn’t add any extra caffeine, but doesn’t feel like you’re missing out either"

— Denise (4/5)

"Absolutely love this!!!! A pinch of sugar and cream and perfection"

— Mary F. (5/5)

Great alone or with black tea

"Chicory is a great tea that I blend a lot of time with black tea for a great mix in the morning. I also like the flavor of chicory by itself, no caffeine, in the afternoon. Great cuppa tea either way."

— Tina C. (5/5)

Deep dark delicious!

"For when you want deep dark and delicious, this chicory tea is for you. I mix it with a roasted dandelion tea and it is just amazing!"

— gina r. (5/5)

It is what it says on the box

"It's roasted chicory. It tastes like roasted chicory. As expected!"

— Noemi M. (4/5)

Somewhat piquant

"This blend has an earthy but slightly piquant taste that makes an interesting blend with coffee. Goes well with milk and a modicum of sweetener."

— Brian W. (5/5)

Loose Chicory Root

"Great flavor and texture. Should have ordered more!"

— Synde R. (5/5)
