Frequently Asked Questions

What is roasted chicory?

Roasted chicory is like coffee… but without the caffeine and with a gentler vibe. You take the chicory root, roast it (a bit like coffee beans), and bam! You get a drink with notes of hazelnut, caramel, and chocolate, incredibly comforting and perfect for anyone who wants to cut down on caffeine without sacrificing taste.

What does chicory taste like?

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

What are the benefits of chicory?

Chicory is naturally rich in prebiotic fibers (inulin) , which promote good digestion and nourish the gut microbiota. It also contains minerals and antioxidants beneficial to the body. It's a gentle beverage, 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 energy crashes or insomnia associated with coffee while still enjoying a tasty hot drink that's close to coffee in taste. And if you don't want to give up coffee completely, try a chicory-coffee mix—it works wonders!

How to prepare roasted chicory?

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

What is the difference between chicory and coffee?

Coffee is acidic and caffeinated. Chicory is smooth, caffeine-free, and gentler on the stomach. In terms of taste, the roasting notes are similar but with a more indulgent touch (toasted hazelnut and chocolate). Basically, if you love coffee but are tired of the jitters, insomnia, or heartburn, chicory is your new best friend.

Can I mix chicory with coffee?

Absolutely! It's even a great option if you want to gently reduce your caffeine intake without any hassle. A chicory-coffee mix gives you the perfect balance between the smoothness of chicory and the kick of coffee. This combination helps reduce your caffeine spike and therefore its crash. You can now enjoy more cups throughout the day without increasing your caffeine levels. Isn't life grand? Try it and adjust it to your liking!
