About
Our Organic Roasted Chicory Root (*Cichorium intybus*) is the premier caffeine-free coffee alternative. We source premium organic chicory roots, which are chopped and then roasted to perfection. This roasting process caramelises the natural sugars in the root, creating a dark, rich, and robust flavour profile with earthy, slightly bitter, and nutty undertones—remarkably similar to traditional coffee but without the caffeine or acidity. It's a beloved staple in New Orleans-style coffee blends and a powerhouse prebiotic for gut health.
As always, it's advisable to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised guidance on health concerns.
Directions of Use
Roasted Chicory Root granules can be brewed just like ground coffee. They yield a dark, full-bodied beverage.
1. The 100% Caffeine-Free Brew: Use 1-2 tablespoons of chicory power per cup of water. Brew in a French Press, pour-over, or drip coffee maker for 5-7 minutes. Serve black or with your favourite milk and sweetener.
2. New Orleans Blend (Lower Caffeine): Mix roasted chicory with your regular ground coffee. A common ratio is 1 part chicory to 3 parts coffee. Brew as you normally would for a richer, smoother, and less caffeinated cup.
3. Cold Brew: Add 3/4 cup of chicory power to a pitcher with 4 cups of cold water. Stir, cover, and refrigerate for 12-24 hours. Strain well and serve over ice, diluted with water or milk to taste.
4. Prebiotic Booster: The brewed liquid can be added to smoothies or used as a base for hot chocolate for a gut-health boost.
