FAQ

What is roasted chicory?

Roasted chicory is a root that is roasted, much like coffee beans. In Europe, it's a beverage that has been consumed for decades, and it's making a big comeback today for its health benefits. The result in the cup: a caffeine-free drink with notes of hazelnut, caramel, and chocolate. A good option if you want to reduce your caffeine intake without changing your coffee ritual.

What does chicory taste like?

It has a roundness reminiscent of coffee. The main notes are roasted hazelnut, caramel, and chocolate, with a slight bitterness that balances it all.

What are the benefits of chicory?

Chicory is naturally rich in prebiotic fiber (inulin). These fibers are known to support the intestinal microbiota. It's a gentle drink for the body, a good alternative if you want to reduce your caffeine consumption. Do you want to understand inulin in more detail? We demystify this prebiotic fiber in our blog post.

Does chicory contain caffeine?

No, 0% caffeine. It's not a decaffeination process: chicory has never contained any. If you don't want to give up coffee completely, our coffee-chicory blend (20% coffee, 80% chicory) is a good transition.

How to prepare roasted chicory?

It's prepared like coffee: French press, filter coffee maker, espresso machine, or simple infusion. Depending on your product, you'll find all the details in our guide for instant chicory or our guide for espresso chicory (ground).

What is the difference between chicory and coffee?

Coffee contains caffeine and can be more acidic. Chicory is caffeine-free and gentler on the stomach. In terms of taste, both have roasted notes, but chicory is richer, with hints of hazelnut and chocolate.

Can I mix chicory with coffee?

Yes, absolutely. It's a great way to gradually reduce your caffeine intake without changing your ritual. The blend provides more stable energy, without the peaks and troughs of regular coffee. Adjust the proportions to your taste.

Are your products organic?

Our chicory is grown using sustainable farming practices in France and contains no additives or preservatives. We are actively working towards organic certification.
