Starwest Botanicals Organic Raw Dandelion Root - Loose Leaf Herbal Tea, Supports Digestion, Cut & Sifted, Certified Kosher, Non-GMO, Caffeine-Free - Bulk 1 lb Bag

I've tried two other organic dandelion root products and this one is my favorite. I use it for my 'coffee' with organic, roasted chicory root granules (Anthony's brand). 1 tbsp dandelion root, 1/2 tbsp chicory steeped for 15 min in a large mug. The flavor of this dandelion root is the best- it's mild, not too bitter. The roots are smaller in size and so far the two bags I've purchased have been really clean- no weird debris as noted in other reviews. I hope the growing/harvesting practices are truly organic. This one is a bit more expensive than the other two I've tried but I think it's worth the price.

Great clean organic product. Very fragrant and fresh. This is a great tea

Great flavor. It’s brighter and cleaner tasting than the teabag variety from a store. Sometimes I add it to my chamomile in a French press but usually I simply put directly in a mug. Hard to describe the flavor and texture of the softened bits after the tea is gone, I like them and most of us could use the fiber. Seems a waste not to eat them and they’re soft from making the tea.

I’m fairly knowledgeable when it comes to herbs. So I knew this was exactly what I wanted. I usually buy bulk herbs on the actual websites of herb stores, but had a gift card on here so I purchased from this site. Dandelion root is honestly one of the most healing herbs, and more people should know about it! I was steeping as a tea, but another great option is buying this and making your own dandelion root tincture which would give you an amazing “bitters” tincture to take before meals that helps stimulate bile, therefore aiding in digestion. It also helps the liver detoxify. The value for the money is great. And this product was exactly what I was looking for as far as functionality and effectiveness.

This is only the second time I have ever purchased dandelion root for tea. The first time was right before purchasing this product, when I bought some tea bags filled with roasted dandelion root. I wanted to see if I liked it before committing to a pound. I ended up liking the tea from the roasted dandelion tea bags, so I ordered this pound. Although I found this product to be of good quality, well packaged, and tasted good, it took me awhile to figure out why I liked it less than the packaged tea bags I had purchased. I finally determined, after comparing the color of each side by side, and chewing on the granules of each, that this Starwest product is just not quite roasted enough for my liking. (Like I have a lot of experience to go on!! :-) I ended up roasting it more myself and ended up very happy. So, although as a product I could easily assign it five stars for quality, I chose one star less because this is so lightly roasted it seems like a misnomer to have indicated it is roasted. Matter of preference. However, this won't keep me from buying it again if I can't find a darker roasted root.

I have a cup of dandelion tea most mornings. This naturally non-caffeinated tea has many health benefits, but I drink it because it is a diuretic and measurably reduces my systolic blood pressure by around 10 points. If you believe as I do that food is medicine then this tea is for you. This version is "raw" which supposedly preserves more of the health benefits than roasted. The downside of most dandelion tea is that it can be bitter. I wouldn't add sugar but you could add lemon or you could buy the roasted kind. Don't bother trying to make this tea out of the weeds in your lawn, because I saw you put fertilizer and herbicides on your lawn and that isn't healthy at all!

I make my own medicines, teas, etc. I used this as a tea in the beginning and then bought a capsule machine to begin making my own supplements. Starwest has the best herbs other than a couple of other companies that aren't on Amazon which I wish they were but having Starwest here is amazing!! I haven't received any stale or old herbs, nor have I had any issues w/stems and the such. They've always been fresh and amazing quality. I highly suggest this company and their herbs. Dandelion is good for so many issues. Please do your own research and no I'm not giving medical advice. I'm just merely stating that before you run out for things off of a shelf in a drug store or a pharmacy. Check out what herbs will do for you.

I can go on and onabout this tea and no one will believe me but that's okay. I was dealing with fatigue that no amount of sleep would fix, having trouble with constipation, and urinating so much to the point I resented going to the bathroom and needing to change underwear frequently. I never got to the bottom of this issue with doctors who seemed puzzled but not concerned enough because it wasn't cancer. Which, irritated me. I went to go see a Reiki healer who suggested I get my liver checked by my doctor, from just seeing me, no symptoms mentioned. Funny enough that's how I came across this tea. I'm not here to say dandelion tea is the CURE to cancer, but oh my gosh this is the longest I've gone in a day without taking a nap. My pee doesn't SMELL (a miracle) and I've had quite an effortless time doing the #2 in the restroom! I am so so happy. To the people complaining about the taste, it's really not that bad. As a matter of fact I find it quite delicious. Add a cinnamon stick when you boil your tea in fact, if you want some natural seeetness. I boil this in my electric kettle and put the tea away in a 64oz pitcher and drink it everyday. I surely could have been on my way to cancer or disease had I not found a solution to my bladder situation/chronic fatigue if you will. I never really cared for Reiki healers but the one I saw might have been onto something. I am thankful it never got to the point of cancer/chemo (expenses, hello?) and everyday I am realizing the best nutrients on this earth are found from the soil beneath us, and not factories. Bravo, Starwest! Also: seems like I'll be getting at least a good 6 months supply from this bag. Amazing bargain! Never going to buy these in tea bags.
