Roasted dandelions root tea is a dark, coffee-like herbal brew brewed from the roasted root of Taraxacum. Our dandelion root is roasted at an average of 90 °C. Roasting changes the sweet earthy roots to something darker and toasty with mild bitterness and a nutty cocoa note. In Europe and Asia it is a popular caffeine-free alternative to coffee and a classic "after-meal" digestive cup because of its bitter principles. These are high in soluble fibre - inulin - and when roasted make a clean, comforting infusion that goes well with milk or can be enjoyed straight. Like leaf-based tisanes, roots are extracted slightly longer to give a fuller body and an appetising aroma reminiscent of chicory and light roast malt. Whether you're reducing coffee, making an evening cup or just want a big ol' herbal that's mild enough to drink straight up - roasted dandelion root is mild enough to drink by itself or blend with spices (like cinnamon or ginger) for a cafe latte at home - it's a versatile staple. organically grown Bulgaria Flavour and Aroma Toasty / malty / lightly bitter with notes of roasted nuts / cocoa husk / caramelised roots; mouthfeel is rounded with a clean dry finish.

About Tea Life:
Hello! My name's Toby and while I've always been a tea lover, I never really thought about the benefits and healing powers of herbal tea before a certain time in my life where I was going through some stress and anxiety.
This is a short story about my tea life.
I came across Valerian root tea and noticed one of the benefits listed was 'helping stress and anxiety' so I thought why not? It actually did help, and became my first go to solution for when I was feeling stressed.
Since then I have had to go back to that single shop to order it, as it's difficult to find. Sometimes it was sold out, sometimes I was too busy to make the trip, but overall I was just thinking 'why isn't this awesome drink more readily available'?
So I decided to do something about that. I researched the benefits of other herbal tea, as I was curious to see what else was out there and was astonished to learn just how useful and powerful they are. Over time, I realised they really are natures medicine.
This website has been designed to educate, and provide easy access across Australia to a huge range of Organic Herbal tea, free of pesticides and other impurities.
Apart from herbal tea, I have also stocked the best chai, exotic, and other health related blends I could find within Australia. If it's fresh, interesting and tastes great - I'll get it in.
Feel free to contact me at any time with any questions or feedback you may have. I'd love to hear from you.
