100% Raw Chicory Root, Non Roasted for More Flavor - Cut & Dried Cichorium Intybus - Net Weight: 1.76oz/50g - All Natural

Good stuff

I have been drinking chicory for quite a few years now. I started drinking it when I was trying to give up coffee. I never went back to coffee and enjoy about a cup a day of my favorite brand of chicory tea.This is the first time I have tried chicory root that has been dried and cut.This is a foil lined bag of 100% organic chicory root. The only ingredient is chicory root. The origin is Poland. It is Non GMO and gluten free. The manufacturer is in Germany. It is 1.76 ounces/ approximately a 1/2 cup.To make: I made a tea out of it. I added a little less than 1 tablespoon of the chicory root to a strainer in a cup. I poured about 1 cup of boiling water over it. I let it sit longer than I should have just because I forgot it.The flavor: Using the measurements I did, I have a light to medium cup of tea. It tastes very much like coffee with a slight licorice taste also. It is a caramel color. Not dark like coffee or like my other chicory (with other herbs) tea.I am very happy with this and look forward to trying my own tea blends with it.

Got this to try and make chicory coffee ala Cafe Du Monde, immediately burned the first batch (too fresh, needed drying/roasting), and had to buy another packet. So far, I haven't gotten there, but the ratio should be around 3 parts coffee to 1 part chicory.

I have tried chicory coffee and find it enjoyable. I used this chicory root to steep as a tea which was very mild. I prefer chicory powder so I won’t be reordering this.

Way too expensive for what you get.

I love coffee, but I cannot drink it at night. It keeps me awake if I drink it too late in the day. Consequently, I have been looking for a coffee substitute I enjoy. So, I thought I would try Naturegrail’s 100% Raw Chicory Root, Non-Roasted.I was not sure how to prepare this, so I did what I thought would work. I ground some chicory in my electric grinder. The smell was wonderful! Then, I brewed it like I would coffee. I enjoyed it. It tastes a lot like coffee. It smells wonderful too!I started wondering what kind of health benefits chicory might have, so I did some research. It is beneficial! It helps digestion. It even helps improve heart health! It reduces arthritis pain and helps in weight loss. It helps with kidney ailments and might even have anticancer properties! It also helps with constipation and boosts immune systems.Wow! I feel like I struck it rich! I am sure glad I made this discovery!

I have recently tried chicory root tea (in powder form) so I was excited to try this. Because it's not roasted, it actually tastes less robust than the chicory root tea powder. I do like it and am giving it 5 stars because it is also ORGANIC! So many pesticides are used in tea making, so buying organic is key for me.The package is small, and there are no brewing instructions. I started out with 1 teaspoon per 8 oz of boiling water. I added a few drops of stevia. It is also great with a dash of nut milk.

I make 1 cup of tea with 1 teaspoon of it, caramel color and light in flavor. I love chicory and the flavor was a little lighter than expected compared to the amount used in the cup, I believe it was due the size of the pieces. I even ate some of the pieces and I am ok with its bitterness, however, I was ready for a full-flavored chicory tea and it didn't dissolve well into the boiling water. The chicory root pieces are good for tea lovers looking for a mild flavored tea.
