One way or another, chicory is an excellent source of natural nutrients, including phosphorus, Calcium, iron, potassium, as well as niacin, Inulin, vitamins A, C and other useful microelements. Chicory coffee is totally caffeine-free, therefore using ground roasted chicory root instead of coffee beans is a solution for those who have personal sensitivity to caffeinated drinks. But the taste of the beverage is quite similar to coffee, and even more roasted. In addition, consuming this type of coffee is linked to a number of chicory benefits, which we can’t normally receive from our usual coffee.
Chicory coffee is considered to be one of the most effective natural remedies for body cleansing. It not only aids harmful toxin removal from our intestines, it also assists in blood cleansing, as well as controlling the levels of Sugar in the blood. That is why this herbal remedy is highly recommended and beneficial to those who suffer from type 2 diabetes.
In addition, chicory coffee can be used to reduce the risks of kidney stones, jaundice and other liver diseases. Chicory benefits also include anti-infalmmatory properties of this natural remedy, which can also relieve pains of arthritis and headaches. Being a great source of Vitamin A, chicory has positive effects on our vision and the function of our nervous system.
To prepare a delicious cup of chicory simply place the bag in a cup and add boiling water. Allow to brew and add milk and Sugar to taste. One chicory bag makes two or more cups. Woody Cape chicory bags are conveniently sealed in foil pouches for freshness.
Nutritional InformationDerived from the root of the chicory plant. After it has been roasted it consists mainly of compound Sugar, and more particularly of fructose (fruit Sugar).

Very tasty with vanilla flavoured Almond milk.26/06/2020, By StefanIf you need that nice, warm, bitter coffee taste in the morning, but without the caffeine kick, this is the stuff!
I like strong chicory with milk, so I tear open two bags, put their content into my aeropress with boiling water, let it rest for about 30s to a minute, then plunge. Add milk until caramel in color. Yum!30/04/2020, By CharleneI really tried to enjoy and even bought two boxes. I tried it with my partner. My goodness it has such a burnt taste to it. I was disappointed.22/04/2020, By karenchicory is a staple in our diet, the ideal hot drink with all the health benefits15/04/2020, By JianineIt has quite a strong taste, so I'm able to get 2 cups from 1 bag.

Stronger than regular coffee so we use 1 bag per two cups of coffee. An excellent alternative for us as we love coffee but have developed different sensitivities to regular coffee. Will definitely buy again.04/01/2020, By NickyPleasant tasting coffee substitute for a caffeine free hot drink. Chicory has health benefits. I prefer stronger flavors so can be mixed with instant coffee.15/11/2019, By KarenWe love this in our house.
I'm caffeine sensitive so can't drink coffee.
This is a great alternative.19/10/2019, By JacquiI did not like the taste of this specific chicory coffee. I would not buy this one again. Chicory is known for it's health benefits and I do drink it from time to time butnot the Woody Cape(brand)13/01/2019, By TaniaGreat strong taste and great coffee alternative. Definitely buying more09/01/2019, By RoshAmazing coffee. Love the taste. My diabetic husband is getting addicted!!! Reasonably priced. We use one bag for two cups of coffee,as its too strong for us. Great value and awesome taste!07/01/2019, By JLove the taste of this. It's not very bitter like coffee but it's got a 'dark taste, unlike most herbal teas. It's very strong and you can definitely make 2 or more cups with one bag. Very well priced considering that fact and if you get a few boxes at a time you save a few bucks. Its a bit different tasting to the instant varieties but I think I prefer the t bags.. plus it's less processed and at less cost. not sure how healthy it is to drink consistently considering it's high in fructose, but when I have it in the cupboard I enjoy a few cups a day.07/01/2019, By AlmarieI absolutely love my Woody Cape Chicory "coffee". Cannot go without it. I buy in bulk and take it wherever I go.04/12/2018, By AngieI love it, I enjoy it so much and it doesn't have any caffeine.

Glad I bought this product and would buy again.23/07/2018, By KimI was so nervous about trying these since giving up caffeine to minimise migraine attacks. This stuff is well worth it!

Next time i will reuse the bag for another cup later in the day.02/07/2018, By AyeshaSuper impressed with the taste . So wonderful to enjoy the taste of 'coffee' without the attack of caffeine. Good price too,made 2 strong cups from 1 bag.28/05/2018, By theresaIt is a little bit more bitter than the one I used to get, but I really enjoy it. I love adding a little almond milk too. And it is a good price for what you get.17/03/2018, By DanielleI nearly bought myself another box of these goodiesbut fortunately saw the price before concluding my purchase. How on earth does the price go from R14 to R58?
This is either an error on pricing or FTN is becoming greedy.01/03/2018, By DelanoLovely. A rich and creamy taste indeed. Best of all, I can now drink a cup of "almost coffee" without the caffeine at night. Excellent price as well.
