I have really band acid reflux and recently my doctor told me to quit caffeine and coffee in general, so decaf was not an option apparently. I decided to try chicory. I usually drink my coffee black, with no sweetener or creamer. This was basically my only option since people said it was the closest to coffee taste (which I love)the scent is more like vanilla-ish than coffee and for me, it took me a week or so to come up with the perfect amount of chicory for my 16oz cup because the first times it was bitter. Now my "coffee" is perfect every morning and I will definitely purchase this again. The only ingredient is chicory so you don't have to worry about weird stuff.I highly recommend it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy with this. No problems. *by on Reviewed in the United States April 24, 2026* Well, the taste is great. Tastes very similar to coffee. Maybe 80-95% similar. There are some notes that coffee doesn't have, which remind me of maybe black tea? It's a bit bitter in a black-tea kind of way. Almost like if you mixed coffee and black tea together.I wanted to get this for possible health benefits, and appreciate this company seemed like they were careful in how they made this. It's from France, not India, and the price is good for getting a whole pound.I bought this because I read it helps with gut health. Apparently it can help kill some bacterial and fungal infections by making the gut healthier, and I believe this is happening for me. Be aware this can upset your stomach, and I'm taking a smaller amount of the Chicory as my stomach adjusts (1/2 tablespoon or less per cup).Since starting this yesterday, my mood is boosted, and I had way more energy (Chicory has no caffeine, but I think the health benefits are helping me, as I usually have very bad fatigue and my gut health is very bad as I bloat so easily no matter what I eat or drink). Maybe I'm imagining this, but I suspect it's helping.If you google Chicory you can read about the studies showing how it can help, which I am excited about. A.I. told me that Chicory can mess up how bacteria communicate before they form an attack, and this can help stop them. It especially can help with gram positive bacteria and some yeasts.So far I've been adding the chicory in with my cup of daily coffee, and it seems to be easy to brew like that. I had one cup on it's own just to try the taste, and liked that as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this stuff!!! UPdate: Still Loving this stuff!!! *by on Reviewed in the United States January 9, 2024* Aug. 2025 Update: Since it took about 1/2 cup of coffee grounds to brew the strength I liked, and only 2 Tbsp chicory grounds to brew the strength of chicory drink I like (no coffee mixed in with the chicory - just chicory), I don't think this is expensive. Just mentioning that because of others saying they think this is expensive. I put in the same flavorings as I did for coffee. I'll never go back to coffee. This tastes much better. Still Lovin' It :)Update: Still loving this chicory. I've been drinking it instead of coffee for 1.5 yrs and have never gone back to coffee. Am lovin' this brew. Thank you, Worldwide Botanicals. :)At first, my taste buds cried foul because it didn't taste like coffee, and they wanted coffee in the mornings. Oh, well. A few days later, my taste buds were craving it. They had started to detect a chocolate flavor and other rich flavors they liked. I had a hard time waiting until the next morning... Too fun.So happy to leave coffee behind, or was I? So, one morning I had a cup of coffee, made in my usual way, and omg - it tasted worse than a water extract of the cardboard box cereal comes in (probably). I threw away any coffee grounds that were taking up important real estate in my freezer; store my chicory grounds in the freezer; brew it in my coffeemaker; flavor it in the same ways I flavored my coffee - fabulous taste.I brew it with 2T of chicory per full, Mr. Coffee sized carafe. I use 2T in my 24oz French press, brew it cold in the fridge from afternoon until the next morning, then microwave it so the heat can knock out the inflammatory chemicals (which coffeemaker brewing would have broken down); the beneficial antioxidant molecules are not hurt by heating. Then once it's hot, I can add ice for a cold drink or leave it hot. The French press version tastes so good, too.Anyway, highly recommend this brand of chicory, and am glad I left coffee behind. :) ## Frequently Bought Together - Worldwide Botanicals French Chicory Root, 1 Pound - Brew Like Coffee, Blend Roasted Chicory Root With Coffee, Prebiotic, Acid Free, Caffeine Free, Kosher - Cafe Du Monde Coffee Chicory, 15 Ounce Ground - Herbaila Chicory Root Roasted Granules, 1 Pound, Chicory Coffee (Inulin, Prebiotic Dietary Fiber) Rich Flavor, Caffeine Free, Natural Tea and Coffee Substitute, Keto, Kosher --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/45406385-worldwide-botanicals-french-chicory-root-1-pound-brew-like-coffee](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/45406385-worldwide-botanicals-french-chicory-root-1-pound-brew-like-coffee) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
