Rootalive Chicory Mushroom Blend, Caffeine-Free Instant Coffee Alternative with Six-Mushroom Blend, 120g

Rootalive Chicory Mushroom Blend Details

Chicory root has been the coffee substitute of choice for two centuries, most famously in New Orleans and in wartime Europe when coffee was scarce. Roasted, it produces a dark, bitter, genuinely coffee-like cup with no caffeine at all — and unlike most caffeine-free alternatives, it does not taste like an apology.

Rootalive blends instant chicory with the same organic six-mushroom powder used across the range. The six-mushroom blend is the same across the range: organic cordyceps, reishi, lion's mane, shiitake, turkey tail and king trumpet. Each brings something different — cordyceps for energy and endurance, reishi as the calming adaptogen, lion's mane for focus, turkey tail for its PSP and PSK immune polysaccharides, and shiitake and king trumpet for their own beta-glucan profiles.

The caffeine-free part is the whole proposition. There is a specific gap between wanting the ritual of a hot dark drink in the afternoon and wanting to be awake at midnight, and this is aimed squarely at it. Chicory root is also naturally high in inulin, a prebiotic fibre, which is a genuine bonus rather than a claim invented for the label.

Instant, so a spoonful in hot water. At Rootalive, we help and inspire people to live a healthier and happier lifestyle. We take a lot of pride in our quality and strive to work harder every day to deliver only the best. Rootalive specialises in ginseng-based products, moringa and herbal teas, manufactured using the highest quality ingredients.

Who Rootalive Chicory Mushroom Blend Is For

This is for anyone cutting caffeine, pregnant, sensitive to stimulants, or simply wanting an afternoon or evening drink that will not affect sleep. It also suits people who have tried caffeine-free instant coffees and found them thin — chicory has considerably more body.

It is not coffee and does not pretend to be; it is darker and more bitter with a slight sweetness. Chicory's inulin content can cause gas or bloating in people sensitive to prebiotic fibre, particularly at first — start with a smaller spoonful if that describes you. Anyone with a mushroom allergy should avoid it. Note this one is not certified organic, unlike the rest of the range.
