SO Roasted Dandelion Tea Blend 250g
A rich, roasted blend of dandelion root and chicory root in the 250g bag. Two ingredients, no caffeine, and a deep, coffee-like flavour. Use it as a tea, or brew it like coffee.
Roasting gives this blend a dark, earthy, slightly bittersweet character that is close to coffee, without the caffeine. It’s made for Santos by Kintra Foods, a privately owned Australian company, from wild harvest dandelion root and chicory root. Nothing else is added.
The granular blend works two ways. Infuse it as a tea in a teapot or strainer, or use it like ground coffee in a plunger, percolator or coffee machine for a dandelion latte with the milk of your choice. The 250g bag is the everyday size for trying the blend or for regular drinkers. For better value per cup, the 1kg bag is also available.
Free from preservatives, caffeine, lactose and gluten.
