Organic Chicory Root Roasted TBC
Organic Chicory Root Roasted TBC is the premier caffeine-free coffee alternative. Made from the root of the Cichorium intybus plant, our chicory is organically grown, carefully dried, and then roasted to develop a deep, rich, coffee-like flavor without a single milligram of caffeine. Chicory root coffee has been a beloved tradition in New Orleans, France, and India for over a century.
Flavor Profile
Roasted chicory root produces a bold, dark brew with a smooth, slightly nutty flavor and caramel-like sweetness. The taste is remarkably similar to dark roast coffee, with earthy depth and a clean finish. Many people find it satisfying as a standalone drink, while others mix it 50/50 with regular coffee to reduce caffeine intake while maintaining a rich flavor.
Traditional Uses
Chicory root has a long history as both a food and an herbal remedy. During coffee shortages in 19th-century France and the American Civil War, chicory became a popular coffee substitute — a tradition that continues in New Orleans to this day. Beyond its coffee-like qualities, chicory root is also a natural source of inulin, a prebiotic fiber that supports gut health and beneficial bacteria.
How to Brew Chicory Root
Use one to two tablespoons of roasted chicory per 8 ounces of boiling water. Steep for 5 to 10 minutes or simmer for a stronger brew. Enjoy it black, or add milk, cream, or a plant-based alternative for a latte-style drink. Chicory pairs wonderfully with cinnamon, vanilla, and cocoa for flavored variations.
Sourcing and Quality
Hatton Naturals sources its certified organic roasted chicory root from small-scale farm co-ops in India. Our chicory is roasted to the optimal level for a balanced, smooth coffee alternative. TBC (To Be Confirmed) refers to the cut size. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Great value, a balance of organic + price that beats other vendors out there. I do 2 parts coffee to 1 part chicory for my coffee, so a win-win for me.
