Dandelion Root & Flower Tea: Two 100 g Packs
What you are buying: This catalog listing advertises 2 packs of 100 grams each (200 g nominal total) of dried dandelion root and flower material for herbal infusions. It does not promise dandelion leaves, a roasted coffee-style root preparation, planting seeds, tea bags, fresh plants or an extract. The actual package weight, plant-part proportions, current processing method and botanical authenticity have not been independently checked against this retail batch. Confirm them on the package label if any detail is purchase-critical.
Dandelion root, flower and leaf are not interchangeable
| Plant part | How it differs |
|---|---|
| Root | Dandelion has a deep taproot. Roots are used in traditional infusions, and roots that are specifically roasted can be used for a coffee-style drink. Roasting is not verified for this product. |
| Flower | The familiar yellow flower heads have a history of culinary use. The catalog lists dried flowers alongside root, but does not establish the weight or ratio of each part. |
| Leaf | Dandelion leaves are used in salad greens and leaf tea. The present product title describes root and flower, not leaves. |
NC State Extension documents these different uses of the plant, including the historic roasted-root coffee alternative. It does not authenticate a seller's specific retail packet.

How to prepare a root-and-flower blend
Use the current product package instructions for water temperature, amounts and steeping or simmering method, if those instructions are supplied and appropriate for the actual ingredients. Root pieces and delicate flower material may require different preparation. An unknown ratio should not be treated as a guaranteed roasted-root or leaf-tea recipe. If instructions or food-use labeling are missing, ask the seller to confirm before making a drink. This page does not prescribe an unverified gram-per-cup serving or daily dose.
Does dandelion tea have proven health benefits?
No medical treatment claim is established. The U.S. National Institutes of Health National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) reports there is no compelling scientific evidence that dandelion treats any health condition. Laboratory research and historical use are not proof that this particular tea prevents or cures disease.
NCCIH notes theoretical interactions with several medicines, including diabetes medication, blood thinners, antiplatelet medicines and diuretics. Anyone taking medication or living with a medical condition should seek individualized advice before using an unfamiliar herbal preparation. Dandelion is in the Asteraceae family; reactions to related plants are possible, though evidence about specific cross-allergy is mixed. Safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding beyond ordinary dietary use is not well established.
