Organic Dandelion Root Loose Herbal Tea

Dried Taraxacum officinale root, cut and sifted — deep, earthy, and roasted, with a bitterness that reads much closer to coffee than to tea. The most common caffeine-free coffee substitute in the herbal world, and the one that actually tastes like something.

Dandelion root is a decoction herb: it needs simmering, not steeping. Done properly it brews dark, full-bodied, and slightly nutty.

Flavor

Earthy • Roasted • Slightly bitter • Nutty • Full-bodied

Ingredients

Organic dried dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale), cut and sifted. Single-ingredient. No additives or fillers. Naturally caffeine-free.

How to Brew

Use 1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz cup. Roots are dense, so simmer rather than steep — bring to a boil, reduce, and hold at a simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, then strain. A passive steep in a mug will give you weak, pale water.

For a deeper, more coffee-like cup, toast the root first. Dry pan over medium heat, three to five minutes, stirring until it darkens and smells nutty. This is the step that separates a good cup from a flat one, and almost nobody does it.

Ways to Use

Drink it black as a coffee alternative, or add a splash of oat or almond milk — dandelion root has enough body to stand up to milk, unlike most herbal teas. Pairs well with chicory, cinnamon, cardamom, and raw honey. Also blends with nettle leaf for something greener and less roasted.
