Frequently Asked Questions

What is roasted chicory?

Roasted chicory is like coffee… but without the caffeine and with a sweeter vibe. You take the chicory root, roast it (much like coffee beans), and bam! The result is a drink with notes of hazelnut, caramel, and chocolate that's incredibly comforting and perfect for anyone looking to cut down on caffeine without sacrificing taste.

What does chicory taste like?

Roasted chicory reveals a roundness and intensity reminiscent of coffee. Its gourmet aromas range from roasted hazelnut, caramel and chocolate , with a slight bitterness that balances the cup.

What are the benefits of chicory?

Chicory is naturally rich in prebiotic fiber (inulin) , which promotes good digestion and nourishes the intestinal microbiota. It also contains minerals and antioxidants that are beneficial for the body. It is a gentle drink for the body, ideal for those who want to reduce their caffeine intake.

Does chicory contain caffeine?

Nope, zero caffeine here. It's the perfect alternative for those who want to avoid the rush or insomnia of coffee while still having a tasty hot beverage that's close to coffee in terms of taste. And if you don't want to give up coffee completely, try a chicory-coffee blend—it works wonders!

How to prepare roasted chicory?

Easy! You prepare it like coffee: French press, filter coffee maker, espresso, or simply infused in hot water. You can even adapt it to your style: full-bodied in the morning, lighter in latte style in the afternoon… It's up to you! You'll find more details on the Preparation Tips page or great recipes on our Blog .

Difference between chicory and coffee?

Coffee is acidic and caffeinated. Chicory is smooth, caffeine-free, and easier on the stomach. Taste-wise, it has similar roasted notes but with a more indulgent touch (roasted hazelnut and chocolate). Basically, if you love coffee but are tired of the rush, insomnia, or acidity, chicory is your new best friend.

Can I mix chicory with coffee?

Absolutely! It's even a great option if you want to cut down on caffeine gently without the hassle. A chicory-coffee blend gives you the perfect balance between the sweetness of chicory and the kick of coffee. The blend helps reduce your caffeine peak and therefore its fall. You can now consume more cups throughout the day without increasing your caffeine levels. Isn't life wonderful? Experiment and adjust according to your tastes!
