Non-GMO Certified Caffeine Free Instant Chicory Powder, Coffee Substitute Rich in Prebiotic Fibers Made from Chicory Roots 7 Oz

I first tried chicory "coffee" at a restaurant in Staten Island, a few months ago. I'd eaten chicory in protein bars and other foods, but never had it as a beverage. I rather liked it and decided to start buying some to make at home. As with coffee I make at home, instant is important to me. I found this and also another brand that uses a tea bag system. However, the tea bags have to steep for 5-7 minutes while this Straight From France product is really instant, in that it dissolves once hot water is poured over it. This is therefore very easy to prepare. I scoop some into a cup, add some date syrup, and pour boiling water over it. Then I add some milk. If I want some caffeine, I add a small amount of instant coffee. By itself, this product does have a slightly more bitter taste than instant coffee. But if you are okay with adding a little bit of sweetener, all of that gets neutralized. Then it is very pleasant-tasting. I also like this because it does not bother my stomach. And because it has no caffeine on its own, I can drink this later in the afternoon or evening.

Great product, the dry mix is better tasting in my opinion as a hot drink than fresh brewed chicory, while the liquid is convenient to add to cold milk.

I’ve been diagnosed with long covid and POTS and need to cut back on my caffeine. Heard this was a great option but I was very hesitant. I’m quite pleased with this purchase! IMO it taste better than coffee. Took me sometime to get the measurements right but 2 1/8 teaspoon for each cup seems to work well for me. I add frothed milk mixed with Laird mushroom powder creamer and it’s quite lovely. Highly recommend. obviously still not coffee, but still satisfying to maintain the behavior without the stimulant.

Love it. I can’t drink coffee anymore! This is a great substitute!

LOVE THIS!! I have used Chicory Root granules for years in my French Press as a replacement for coffee, and finally decided to try this instant powder. It's WAY better than I expected. I am amazed at how easy it is to make and how flavorful it is. I know I will be a repeat customer after this purchase.

Disolves quick in my coffee. No strong taste/odor.....I Like!

followed direction and first cup was really good. looking toward more "less" caffeine.

When I stopped drinking coffee, I wanted something to replace it with and this is perfect. It's got the same appeal as coffee for me (minus the caffeine and other elements that decrease LES pressure) and it's a great substitute. However, and this is important, you really have to put one of those silicone packets in the jar once you open it because it attracts moisture and becomes solidified in the jar. One little packet takes care of this issue!
