The only herbal tea that tastes like coffee. Chicory root has a long history of providing support to liver problems. Ancient Romans used the herb to help cleanse the blood. Egyptians were known to consume chicory root to help purify the liver and the blood. Chicory root contains oligofructose and inulin, two forms of soluble fiber that serve as a prebiotics to encourage the colonization of “friendly” bacteria in the gut. Chicory contains a high concentration of inulin. The herb is also a source of vitamin C. Chicory, also known as ragged sailors, blue dandelion and horseweed is a wayside herb and forage crop with vibrant blue flowers. A hardy perennial best known for its association with coffee, Chicory produces a more 'roasted' flavor, with no caffeine. Interesting note: Some coffees offer blends with up to 30% chicory, which cuts down on the caffeine content!
