25 Individual Servings of Original Dandy Blend Instant Herbal Beverage with Dandelion, 2.5 oz Box

So I was looking for a coffee replacement as ordered by my doctor. Sadly I had to give up caffeine. Not an easy task considering I have been a coffee lover and drinker for my whole life and I love 💕 coffee, it’s smell, the taste. Coffee how’s didn’t like me anymore.Not even decaf which does have apparently 60% caffeine. So I tested a few, didn’t like pero, too light and too far from coffee. Tried teeceno, nothing spectacular. And honestly I didn’t feel like brewing it. (Lazy you could say). So a friend of mine told me about this so I tried it. Far from tasting like coffee at least it looks like it so you can trick yourself (!) , it’s instant and non gmo (which I like). I found if I put 1 full table spoon in a ceramic cup and put a drop of organic 1/2 and 1/2 it tastes good. Makes me think am having coffee. I went through a week of headaches after quitting coffee but now it is 2 months since I had a coffee and though I still love the smell I can live with this instead. It tastes good, kinda sweet already and I have 1 cup every morning. It does not taste like coffee but looks like it and makes you think you are drinking it.

I discovered Dandy Blend when i was forced (for health reasons) to go on a diet that excluded ALL caffeine - not even decaff tea was allowed. But on the slip that the specialist gave me detailing my diet, next to "no caffeine" it said "Dandy Blend ok". I thought "what's dandy blend?"I love my decaff Nespresso pods and so the thought of not being able to have my creamy hot morning drink, I went home and looked up Dandy Blend online to find it on Amazon.I actually like it just as much as coffee and maybe a little better. It tastes delicious cold or hot. Its easy to mix and comes in the same form as instant coffee so it immediately blends and dissolves with any liquid. I've had it sweet or without any sweetener. I have it with almond milk or black and its seriously delicious any which way you spin it. However, word to those of you who are looking for something that tastes exactly like coffee but has no caffeine - if you blind tested Dandy and coffee, you could easily tell which is which. But its delicious and tastes similar enough that after only a week or so, I couldn't remember how coffee tasted different.It reminds me of properly brewed cold coffee where it lacks any acidity taste but is still very rich and smooth. So the taste was more than enough for me to drink it, but then i stumbled upon the health benefits of dandelion and i'm a Dandy Blend lifer now!1. Digestion: Dandelion root is a mild laxative and also balances the good bacteria found in your intestines. It also helps your stomach and liver release stomach acid and bile which keeps your digestion moving properly.2. Kidney support: Dandelion is a diuretic which assists the kidneys in flushing out waste, salt and excess water. This can be especially helpful for women who have trouble with bloating during PMS. Instead of leaving you dehydrated from water loss, dandelion will replenish your potassium stores which is an important electrolyte.3. Liver support: As mentioned above, Dandelion root helps the liver release bile which is an important function of this organ. This promotes removal of toxins and replenishment of electrolytes.4. Antioxidants: It is known that coffee can help remove free radicals but it is also known that dandelion root does this better! Dandelion root is packed full of antioxidants which slows the aging process (while coffee actually accelerates aging).5. Cancer fighting: Dandelion has been shown to fight cancer cells and this claim has been backed up with A LOT of research. Every part of this plant is packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients that have been proven to slow the growth and even prevent formation of cancer cells.6. Diabetes: This is another benefit of coffee which is listed above, so why not switch over to Dandy blend to have the same benefits PLUS many more! Dandelion helps regulate blood sugar and insulin which is something that coffee actually destroys.7, Blood pressure: Dandelion’s diuretic effects leads to more frequent urination which in turn will lower blood pressure. Fiber and Potassium found in Dandelion will also regulate blood pressure.8. Inflammation: While most people are aware of the inflammation they can experience in physical injuries, more education is starting to reach people about the issues that internal inflammation can cause. Inflammation is the culprit in many diseases and illnesses today. Dandelion will reduce inflammation through it’s essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. This reduction of inflammation helps internally as well as externally from sport injuries.9. Immune System: If what I mentioned above wasn’t enough, dandelion boosts immune function! It destroys any bugs entering your system so can be especially helpful during the winter months.The only downside of Dandy Blend is that it is VERY susceptible to moisture and will start to dissolve so if any drops get into your Dandy container, you'll wind up with sticky clumps of moist dandy paste. However, we keep our in a simple vacuum container that we used to keep our coffee in for freshness and we have had no problems at all. The product bag also has a ziplock top so you could also just keep it in the product bag if you didn't want to invest in an airtight container.And to answer your question, no, i was NOT paid to post this review or given a free bag of Dandy Blend. But, if the vendor ever wanted to send me a free bag of Dandy, I would certainly not complain. :)

Listen, I love coffee. Love it like a poet loves a typewriter, like a vinyl collector loves the warm crackle of a first press. But my body? Not so much. Turns out my nervous system doesn’t appreciate being treated like a hummingbird on a double-shot espresso bender. Enter Dandy Blend, the magical potion that made me rethink everything I thought I knew about caffeine, balance, and the pure joy of a warm mug between my hands.First off, let’s talk flavor—because that’s what I was skeptical about. I expected something that tasted like regret and disappointment, but instead, Dandy Blend delivers this rich, smooth, roasted goodness that could easily pass for a nutty, mellow coffee (especially with a splash of oat milk, because, Portland). There’s no bitterness, no acidity, no post-caffeine crash that makes you question your life choices. Just pure, velvety bliss.And versatility? This stuff dissolves instantly like some kind of wizardry. Hot or cold, it blends into perfection. You want a light, tea-like experience? Just use a little. You want a robust, espresso-adjacent drink? Pile it on. Feeling fancy? Froth it up with some cinnamon and maple syrup, and boom—you’ve basically got a forest-witch-approved latte.I’ll admit, I still go halfsies sometimes—mixing it with coffee when I want the flavor but need to trick my body into thinking I’m being responsible. And you know what? It works. It blends so seamlessly that even my coffee-snob friends didn’t notice when I swapped half their beans for roasted dandelion root. (Sorry, Jeremy. You were decaf for a week. You seemed happier.)Plus, it’s good for you in that mystical, ancient-herbalist kind of way. Dandelion root and chicory have been healing people since before oat milk was cool, and somehow, they managed to pack trace minerals and gut-loving goodness into a drink that tastes like a hug.The only downside? If you leave the bag open, it clumps up faster than a drum circle at a folk festival. But hey, that’s on me. A small price to pay for liberation from caffeine tyranny.Final verdict: If you’re looking for a warm, roasted, jitter-free alternative that lets you live your best Pacific Northwest, self-sustaining, slightly-smug-but-in-a-good-way life—Dandy Blend is the way to go. Your adrenals will thank you. Your stomach will thank you. And honestly, your barista might resent you for spending less money at their shop, but that’s okay. They’ll survive.Drink the dandelions, my friend.

Tastes delicious and gives me a boost of energy without a crash later. It just generally makes me feel good. Dissolves well into cold milk if you use one of those battery powered drink whisker things. I dont drink coffee, but it has a nice coffee like flavor minus any bitterness. It does remind me of the Dandelion Carmel Nut tea by Teecino, which is what I was hoping for. But this is a drink mix and I think I prefer that since I can more quickly have it hot or cold. I mix mine w one cup of whole milk and sweeten it with a monkfruit/allulose blend and put it on ice. Delicious.
