Chicory Root Powder
Our roasted chicory root, ground fine for the fastest caffeine-free coffee alternative, no steeping or straining needed. Just stir a spoonful into hot water for a rich, dark, coffee-like cup with a nutty, woodsy depth and natural mellow sweetness. Chicory has long stood in for coffee, the backbone of New-Orleans-style coffee and a wartime coffee substitute across Europe and North America. The powder makes it effortless: perfect for a quick morning cup, a caffeine-free "latte" with steamed milk, or as a rich, complex note stirred into baking, smoothies and desserts. To use: start with about ½–1 teaspoon per cup and adjust to taste. Dissolve in a little hot water first, then top up with hot water or milk. It's potent, so a small amount goes a long way.
