Harvested at its peak, chicory root is delicately dried and then roasted to release its full aromatic richness: a perfect blend of notes of toasted hazelnut, chocolate, and caramel. A truly caffeine-free moment of pleasure, ideal for a gentle and comforting break at any time of day.

  • Prebiotic fibers

    Chicory root is one of the richest foods in fiber, with an exceptional content of inulin, a prebiotic known to nourish and stimulate intestinal flora.

  • Antioxidants

    Chicory is rich in antioxidants, helping to protect cells against the effects of oxidative stress.

  • Minerals

    It provides essential minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium which support the body's balance and overall well-being.

  • Gluten free

    Chicory is naturally gluten-free, making it a perfect option for those with gluten sensitivities or intolerances.

  • Low calorie

    Chico chicory contains only sugars naturally present in the plant. These are in very small quantities, and our chicory does not have any added sugar during its production. This makes Chico a drink with a very low energy intake.

Understanding the effects of caffeine on your body, and why Chico is the ideal alternative

Avoid caffeine when you wake up

In the morning, your body naturally produces cortisol, the hormone that gently wakes you up. If you drink coffee too early, the caffeine short-circuits this natural process, exposing you to a double crash in the late morning: a caffeine crash and a natural drop in cortisol, both of which are synonymous with fatigue. With Chico, you can maintain your morning ritual without disrupting your natural energy. Ideally, you should wait 2 hours after waking up before your first coffee.

Limit caffeine in the afternoon

Caffeine remains active in the body for a long time: drinking it in the afternoon can delay falling asleep and affect the quality of your sleep. By replacing your afternoon coffee with a cup of Chico, you can enjoy a truly comforting break without compromising your night and your energy the next day.

According to a study conducted by Chicorée du Nord, ADEME and Pôlénergie, a cup of chicory generates 10 to 24 times fewer carbon emissions than a cup of coffee.

Why? Among other things, because chicory thrives in temperate climates, requiring much less resources due to its root system.
