"Sweet and mellow like coffee"
As a coffee lover, I always want to have a cup of coffee no matter what time of the day. Although sometimes I can have a cup of black tea or floral tea with desserts or snacks, I always feel that coffee is the best choice! I accidentally discovered that the flavor of chicory coffee is very similar to coffee, but it contains almost no caffeine and does not affect the stomach. The rich aroma satisfies the coffee addiction while also meeting the health needs of being natural, organic, and refreshing. Now it has become a daily must-have in our office cupboards!

What is Chicory Coffee?
Chicory coffee is not coffee! It is mainly made from roasted chicory roots. Its special flavor is like tasting coffee, with aromas of caramel and hazelnut, and it is completely caffeine-free (*original flavor). This is a healthy and natural coffee substitute that allows you to enjoy the rich taste without any burden!
Benefits of Chicory Coffee
Chicory coffee is almost caffeine-free. Because it is rich in prebiotic fiber (inulin), it helps maintain the function of the digestive tract, thereby aiding the absorption and digestion of nutrients, providing the body with stable energy, and making it less likely to feel drowsy and tired. It is suitable as a substitute for daily coffee. Even if you drink it at night, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sleep.
Chicory coffee itself has a similar aroma to coffee. It can be brewed hot or cold, and can also be added with fresh milk. It is suitable for all seasons. Its charming aroma brings a healing and relaxing feeling. Whether you are working or reading, it can help improve concentration!
— Each cup of chicory coffee reduces the carbon footprint by 5 times compared to traditional coffee production —

Let's tell a little story about chicory coffee
Napoleon, the French emperor who made chicory coffee popular
Going back to the early 19th century, coffee was already an important drink in the lives of Europeans at that time. However, Napoleon's ambition prompted him to issue the Continental Blockade, prohibiting European countries from trading with Britain in an attempt to weaken Britain's economy. However, the blockade also caused a shortage of imported goods for France and its allies, one of the most affected being coffee.
France at that time relied heavily on coffee imports from South America and the Caribbean. Affected by the blockade, as goods became scarce and expensive, the price of coffee soared and was even out of stock at one point.
The French, who were suffering from the torment of drinking coffee, became anxious. After searching everywhere, they found that the drink brewed with ground chicory roots soon became an excellent substitute for coffee because it had a rich aroma and flavor similar to coffee but did not contain caffeine.
The French government even encouraged people to drink chicory coffee and included it in military supplies so that soldiers could still enjoy a warm and refreshing drink when there was a lack of coffee.
However, in 1815, Napoleon was defeated in the Battle of Waterloo, the blockade policy was lifted, and coffee imports were resumed, but chicory coffee did not disappear. Europeans not only mixed chicory with coffee, but also developed coffee with pure chicory ingredients and brought this culture to the Americas. Later, the southern United States, especially New Orleans, began to follow the French and use chicory as a substitute due to coffee shortages during the Civil War.
The wars and blockades during the Napoleonic era unexpectedly led to the birth and popularization of chicory coffee. Today, many people are choosing chicory coffee not because of coffee shortages, but because it brings the health benefits of being caffeine-free, rich in prebiotic fiber, and being friendlier to the environment. From a 19th century wartime stopgap to a modern health drink, chicory coffee has become an intertwined part of history and wellness culture.
