454 Cup Bag of Original Dandy Blend Instant Herbal Beverage with Dandelion, 32 oz. (2 pounds 908g) Bag

I’m very satisfied with this product. It smells and tastes very similar to coffee, which is exactly what I was hoping for. The flavor is rich and roasted, but without the caffeine or acidity.It mixes easily with hot water and gives me that comforting coffee experience without the jitters or stomach irritation that coffee can cause. If you are looking for a good caffeine free coffee alternative, this is definitely worth trying. I will be buying it again.

Foolish and dumb as this may sound, I'd forgotten what impact caffeine has on various health issues - primarily raising my ocular pressure - and that can be serious for those with Glaucoma and other medical eye issues.New job; new pressures; stress; longer hours; inclement weather, and I was brewing more coffee and having more refills; taking bigger travel mugs and not thinking about it. I was using a higher quality of coffee and had read many articles about how organic; higher quality, etc really has more to do with how coffee affects/doesn't affect someone than the actual caffeine component, so I felt I was "okay" with drinking more of it. Wrong (at least for me).I had forgotten how I used to mix my coffee half and half with Teeccino and that cut down the caffeine. Teeccino's a great product, but it is not very cost effective for me, and I prefer something without the gluten.In the past, I tried the packets of Dandy Blend and it was ok. They quickly hardened and dried out so I threw away the unused packets.I had received some very bad news from my Ophthalmologist, so back to the drawing board and saw this 2# bag of Dandy Blend, with outstanding reviews and comments and thought I'd give it a go again. After all, it's a MUST!Not only is it gluten-free (and they explain on their site 'how' that is); but dandelions are great for the liver which is very closely related to eye issues - they go hand in hand. (I already take Milk Thistle every day for my liver, so this will be an added bonus!)Then I asked all of you a few questions on the Q/A area (great feature, and big help!). I wanted to be able to brew Dandy Blend along with a scoop of regular coffee grounds (as I did with Teeccino) and you all told me how I could. Score!So, right now I'm enjoying a delicious cup - or two, or three - of mixed brew and eventually will cut out the coffee altogether.I was too chicken to put the DB in the brew basket, so I used my normal amount of water for the pot; only put in one scoop of coffee, instead of two, and then when it was finished brewing, I added one rounded tablespoon to the pot and stirred it in.FABULOUS!The recipes and ideas on both the bag and the website are great - I would have never thought of doing that. Now I look forward to trying it. I'm getting ready to do some traveling, so will bring some with me.Folks - we can monitor our BLOOD pressure at home (which I occasionally do); but we cannot monitor our own ocular pressure. Hopefully, one day, it will be possible to do. Fortunately for me, I HAVE to go regularly to keep a close watch on it; but I was without insurance and took my chances and it was almost disastrous. Please be sure to get your eyes checked regularly, especially to check your pressures. It's still the leading cause of blindness.*****One week later****I only mixed with coffee for one week. I ended up loving it so much, I prefer it ALONE! It's delicious! And what's really awesome - no headaches; no fatigue; no withdrawals whatsoever being without coffee! AWESOME!

Giving up my coffee addiction was very challenging for me because of how much I love the taste of coffee and the overall ritual in the morning. This product is the only reason I’ve finally been able to get off coffee and most caffeine. It’s delicious and I now prefer it to the taste of coffee! My morning cup includes 1/2 tablespoon of dandy blend, 8 oz hot water, 1 teaspoon coconut sugar, 1 tablespoon cream. It’s quite a treat and I look forward to my mornings again!

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.

It was surprisingly easy to swap out my morning cup of strong, fresh brewed coffee for this semi watery instant blend. Hot or cold, I like my coffee strong, black, and unsweetened; whether it be from fresh ground beans brewed in a pot, a cup made from the Keurig machine, or a tantalizingly thick and strong liquid made using the Turkish coffee method, and occasionally the double cold brew method for iced coffee on extra hot days. Oh geez, just writing that makes me want to get grinding. Alright, so, good coffee is a joy. So then, why would I look for an alternative? Well, I was ruminating about how drinking it day in and day out has lost much of its potency for me. Whether it was one cup or several, it was all the same. So then it became simply about the taste and MINDLESS routine/ritual. Could I possibly drink something else to get me through the day, then on more mindful occasions, truly enjoy all the taste and effects of coffee--such as that beautiful rush of energy that seems to have subsided? Without much effort or willpower, I decreased daily intake and found myself fine with one cup of coffee per day, occasionally more when it was just there. That has been a fair way to go, but I became increasingly more curious about coffee alternatives. I also drink tea, but that is not an "alternative" to me, nor pop/soda, nor straight carob powder. A true adaptive alternative needs to be close to the item or behavior one is looking to replace. Therefore I began looking online for something "coffee-like". I decided on DandyBlend because the ingredients sounded promising in terms of taste and health. No particular event prompted me to make a switch, it was more like a variety of things. While there appears to be benefit to daily consumption of coffee, there seems to be more benefit to not drinking it every day. Are my adrenals being over taxed? Can my mildly elevated blood pressure benefit from reducing/eliminating caffeine? Perhaps I can find more natural energy and better sleep with eliminating coffee? *If* I were to get pregnant/breastfeed, wouldn't I have to give up coffee *gasp* (and a host of other things) for quite some time? Hence my purchase of 2 lbs for $28 (for you K-cup drinkers, the coffee price per pound is $25-$60!).The granules very much remind me of "instant coffee". Actually, it smells like it, and somewhat tastes like it, too, which is not necessarily a bad thing. My taste buds think I am drinking coffee, or something so close to it, that I am not craving coffee beans. I am also liking the expedited means of getting this beverage prepared as it dissolves easily in hot or cold water. Scoop out weeks worth or so out of the bag and into a glass container. Store the remainder in a cool spot or the refrigerator to maintain freshness and eliminate clumping. Let me tell you how I feel: The first day, I decided not to have any coffee at all, just DandyBlend. I felt alright. The second day I had a bit of a headache and felt fatigued. I decided to add a splash (1/8c) of coffee to my DandyBlend to help alleviate any withdrawal symptoms. This is a good way to go- reduce systematically which will benefit physiologically and psychologically. I did the same the next, then just didn't bother after that. The transition was quick for me. It has been a week. I have felt fine, much in the same way as I did with drinking the coffee, yet the energy source seems more natural than contrived, if that helps. For preparation, I use hot or cold water, then I add a teaspoon (sometimes even tablespoon) of unsulphered blackstrap molasses (good health benefits and adds to the "coffee" taste). Since I have been making a large cup of iced DandyBlend, I seem to use a lot of the powder. I treat this like "coffee" and don't drink it past noon, however, that is a personal choice, and I doubt it would hinder good sleep later. Adjust according to your taste. For what it is worth, and mind you, it has only been a week, and I engage in other healthful behaviors, my blood pressure has been stable (and healthy) for day time readings. Night time is another story, but I really need to not take a reading during or just after a PvP warzone match in an online MMO-RPG that I play, ha! (You gamers will know what I mean)

I’ve been a coffee drinker for years, but after being diagnosed with GERD/acid reflux, I needed to find something that wouldn’t make symptoms worse. I decided to try Dandy Blend, and I was honestly pleasantly surprised.Does it taste exactly like coffee? No — and I think it’s best to go into it knowing that. But it does have a warm, roasted flavor that you get used to quickly, and it’s actually very enjoyable on its own. Sometimes I mix it with a small teaspoon of Nescafé Espresso instant coffee when I’m missing that “coffee kick,” but most days I just drink this by itself.The most important part: I noticed a real difference in how my stomach felt. No burning, no discomfort, and definitely no jitters or caffeine crash. It’s smooth, easy, and feels good to drink.If you’re trying to cut back on coffee, have acid reflux, or just want a gentler alternative, I really recommend giving Dandy Blend a try. It’s become a daily staple for me and something I plan to keep using.

Really enjoy this product.I have been doing some detox’s and wanted to help support my liver through that so I was looking at dandelion teas when I found this in a review that somebody else had mentioned being good and tasting similar to coffee. I am not a huge tea drinker, but I love coffee so decided that I would try this product instead of the tea.This dandy blend is very good. It is rich and it taste similar to coffee without any acidity. My husband recently has been trying to quit coffee and is supplementing with this product. He really enjoys it and has had no problems with wanting coffee because he has this to rely on. We love that there’s no caffeine and we are supporting our body and using this product. Perfect for the evenings when you just wanna relax and not get any jitters. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I love this stuff. It’s healthy, delicious and better than real coffee. I love putting light cream in it with a little bourbon barrel maple syrup. I have ordered at least five bags over time and I will continue to keep this in my pantry as a staple. The quality is amazing and I am impressed with how easy the powder mixes with hot water. I can take it camping or to work in a little mason jar. If it weren’t available, I would miss it and have to figure out a way how to make dandelion root coffee myself.

OK. I've used this before (store bought) on doctor's orders to lay of caffeine. Who'da thunk that caffeine can exacerbate a Tachycardia and A-fib? Well, as someone who procaffeinates as a religion, having about a liter a day, (usually b4 noon) one could say I was in love with my Grind'n'Brew. Sigh...Anyway, Doc says knock off the caffeine and the nightly glass of red. OMG...Life is over!! Quit smoking in 2006, now THIS??!Dandy blend is a great tasting alternative. It's smooth and mixes up very well. It has a sweeter taste owing to the natural fructose and has a satisfying mouthfeel, for all you coffee sommeliers! A little foamy initially, so if your into lattés there ya go. Add your cream'n'sugar for a double-double and your back into normalcy. It's a little on the pricy side, but if you want a satisfying joe then this fits the bill.Yes, (glug), I do recommend this

My go to coffee-replacement since 2018!I tried Dandy Blend first on its own (as black coffee) and didn't like it much...But when I added oat creamer and brown sugar, it tasted better than the lattè I get from Starbucks!!Highly recommend trying this :)

湿気やすいので小分けにして保存がおすすめです。

Se disuelve perfectamente, muy bueno de sabor, como es natural, no lleva cafeína, no sabe amargo ni ácido, de hecho, recuerda las bebidas de cereales solubles. En la web del fabricante hay recetas para postres y bebidas, en inglés, eso sí. Tiene el certificado de no estar hecho con plantas modificadas genéticamente, lo cual es un punto muy grande a favor.En definitiva, que me ha encantado y que volveré a comprar sin ninguna duda.

C'est un substitut du café sans caféine. Le gout est doux et on ne se lasse pas d'en consommer. Ça vaut le prix.
