Organic Chaga Chicory

Famous in New Orleans, roasted chicory root is often blended with coffee to create the ubiquitous Louisiana beverage. However, instead of combining it with coffee, we’ve decided to blend organic chicory root with organic chaga to create a caffeine-free herbal tea that is a great alternative to coffee and offers all the health properties of the chicory root and Arctic chaga mushroom. Not only does this blend look like ground coffee, it brews up a thick, rich cup that has the same dark brown liquor and a similar flavor. Excellent with milk and a touch of honey, this organic herbal tea can be prepared in a standard coffee maker, french press, or as a loose leaf tea. It also makes a great iced beverage!
The chaga-chicory combination not only tastes great, but creates a healthful 1-2 punch! Chicory is quickly gaining attention for its prebiotic health benefits. Prebiotics are a helpful companion to the more well-known probiotic. Chaga is an Arctic mushroom that has been used in folk medicine to alleviate gastrointestinal ailments and to boost immunity. It is also known as an adaptogen which is believed to help lower stress levels. The organic chaga used in our blend is sourced from the Finnish lapland forests where chaga has been wild-harvested for centuries to make “mushroom tea.”
Ingredients: organic roasted chicory root, organic chaga mushroom extract

At Arbor Teas, we believe tea should be brewed to suit your personal taste. We’re happy to make recommendations to get you started, but don’t hesitate to experiment! When brewing your tea, your main considerations are tea quantity, water temperature, and steeping time. We recommend herbal and rooibos teas to be steeped for 5 to 7 minutes in water heated to a full rolling boil. For the best flavor, use fresh water whenever possible, and avoid overboiling. If you want a stronger brew, just use more tea. And don’t forget to re-steep your tea leaves to get the most out of your leaf!
