Dandelion Tea - Dried Dandelion Root, Flowers & Leaf, Taraxacum officinale, Caffeine-Free Herbal Infusion, 100 gram

Product Specifications

An Earthy, Caffeine-Free Cup

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a familiar plant whose root, flowers, and leaves have long been enjoyed as a simple herbal infusion. This whole-plant blend brews an earthy, subtly sweet cup with roasted undertones — the roasted root in particular is often used as a coffee-style, caffeine-free alternative. It’s an easygoing, low-fuss tea for a steady morning or after-meal ritual, delicious on its own or in blends.

Plant & Origin

Dandelion is a hardy perennial in the daisy (Asteraceae) family, instantly recognizable by its bright yellow flower heads, deeply toothed leaves — the source of the name “lion’s tooth” — and long taproot. Every part is used: the roasted root gives a deep, coffee-like base; the flowers add a mild floral-sweet note; and the leaves contribute a fresh, gently bitter green character. Growing across temperate regions worldwide, dandelion is one of the most familiar and versatile herbs for a homemade cup.
