Love this, although always use a stainer or plunger, which weirdly is not on the instructions. Helpful for gut health and balancing blood sugar levels. I generally have it with nut milk and honey and often make a brew with collagen powder, chaga and some vanilla. My teenager also loves it (esp with frothed milk and vanilla)

Great alternative to coffee, without the caffeine. The perfect afternoon coffee replacement that doesn't impact 8 hours uninterrupted sleep.

The products I ordered were delivered to me within a day, which is outstanding service.
The Chicory drink was very good - almost as good as coffee but without the bad effects certain people will experience with real coffee.
About a year ago, I used to buy Chico from Dischem. The Faithful to Nature product is a whole lot better then Chico, which I think has been discontinued. It also helps my digestion and bowel regularity.
It is a very good product and packed beautifully.
I also bought a Rosewood and Geranium soap. It smells beautiful!

This is a lovely alternative to coffee and I enjoy it on its own or with almond milk. I find it doesn't dissolve like a previous brand I've bought in the past. I have to strain this one before I drink it. I would have given it 5stars.

I had better chicory coffee but as I have no choice this one will do.
Any chance of finding other brand? The one I had was from Bonvit

This Ancient Roots Chicory is fantastic!! If you are avoiding caffeine but still want that taste of coffee, this product has you covered. I add one heaped tablespoon of chicory to my coffee plunger along with 1/2 tablespoon of chaga powder, and this gives me a seriously good and strong cup of "coffee".

A lovely rich warm drink.

Love this product!

Great tasting chicory drink. I sometimes crave something warm to drink in the evening and this is a great substitute for coffee since it does not contain caffeine. I have ordered it multiple times now.
31/10/2024, By Marië
Would recommend this to anyone having a reaction to caffeine. I can now drink more than a cup a day, as I no longer get headaches, heart palpitations or anxiety like when I used to drink coffee.
The taste is great.

Very strong coffee, delicious. I drink with honey and almond/rice milk

Love this

I Love this product, it taste great and doesn't cause me to feel anxious, like the caffeine in coffee.
It is delicious, now I can have more than 1 cup a day.
10/09/2024, By Nita
Was very grainy, does not dissolve and doesn’t taste nice. Am disappointed as it is expensive.
02/09/2024, By Sauline
Tastes great but does not dissolve completely wasn't expecting that part.
30/08/2024, By Marië
Love this product. It has an amazingly lovely flavor.
23/08/2024, By Ann
Love the taste and it is economical as you only need a small amount.
Great product
01/08/2024, By Thirusha
I don't know how else to explain the taste....it's feels sacred, as if I'm about to start a plant medicine ceremony. It just invokes those feelings for some reason. I'm loving the taste, I specifically got it for its high inulin content.
26/06/2024, By Ash
My other orders from Faithful to Nature were great but this specific product was weirdly "off".

The first bag of this chicory drink was absolutely delicious (purchased from a different shop) I was so chuffed I'd found an amazing coffee alternative. However, my recent purchase of this here was terrible, the packaging appears duller than the other bag and the chicory looks greyish even though BB date is Feb 2025. So either Faithful to Nature stores this specific product irresponsibly or every bag of this chicory drink is a gamble? I completely understand that the flavour of every bag might differ in strength slightly depending on the chicory root - but this bag just tastes disgusting, something must be off as it's undrinkable.

Absolutely love it,great taste
08/02/2024, By Elle
The best coffee substitute! Love the flavour and the granules. Am so glad that I found it after not being able to get the Chicory I use to get.
10/11/2023, By Sba
Great product!Am glad I found it s it's tasty this package goes a long way. Thanks for such great efficient customer service and for understanding! Will definitely be purchasing more from the online store!

I was looking for a substitute for the swiss 'chicory cup' thats been discontinued here. This product tastes great, but the texture isn't the same. It leaves grains behind. However, it's stronger, so you use less and it goes further. :-)
06/09/2023, By Lyn
Love love love this Chicory. Love the bits at the bottom of the cup. Definitely helps with constipation which I don’t really need, so I need to limit my cups per day. Thank you for the reviews, they definitely helped me make the best choice.
04/09/2023, By Janzie
Hits the spot for a chicory lover! I use it with a strainer. I highly recommend this product ☕
29/08/2023, By Tabetha
Great flavour
Love that it reseals to keep freshness
19/08/2023, By Mala
Great tasting chicory. Tried many and this one by far is the best tasting coffee substitute.
03/08/2023, By Kirsty
I wanted to cut back on coffee, and this is so much more flavourful than store-bought chicory drinks. And this does not have the added glucose or a percentage of coffee that many other brands have. It's pure, clean chicory.
02/07/2023, By Connor
New regular. The strength and fulfillment of coffee without the worry of my anxiety prone gut. Far richer and fuller than that of the Woody what not tea bags. There are some chicory root debris that float around, but all the better for it.
20/04/2023, By Alex
Cool that it's a powder. It's nice not to have it in "tea" bags because I like it stronger and usually have to use two bags. I also don't have to wait for it to steep anymore! There are a few small grains, which don't bother me because it is absolutely deeeee-lish. So nice with oat milk too!
13/04/2023, By Lori
Love the packaging. But the chicory itself has a bit of a burnt taste and is so grainy.
