Starwest Botanicals Organic Raw Dandelion Root - Loose Leaf Herbal Tea, Supports Digestion, Cut & Sifted, Certified Kosher, Non-GMO, Caffeine-Free - Bulk 1 lb Bag

I've tried two other organic dandelion root products and this one is my favorite. I use it for my 'coffee' with organic, roasted chicory root granules (Anthony's brand). 1 tbsp dandelion root, 1/2 tbsp chicory steeped for 15 min in a large mug. The flavor of this dandelion root is the best- it's mild, not too bitter. The roots are smaller in size and so far the two bags I've purchased have been really clean- no weird debris as noted in other reviews. I hope the growing/harvesting practices are truly organic. This one is a bit more expensive than the other two I've tried but I think it's worth the price.

Great clean organic product. Very fragrant and fresh. This is a great tea

I LOVE this product, and I'm thrilled about the multiple health benefits of dandelion root. The more I read about it, the more excited I get about my new coffee-alternative. I also like Frontier's organic products, and may try their's next, but this one's wonderful! I like the degree of roasting and the small-cut granules, and it smells so wonderful. Here's my recipe for a mug of the most rich and delicious coffee-alternative, with a heavenly aroma! I boil 10 oz. water in the electric kettle and pour it into a small saucepan over: - 1 rounded teaspoon roasted organic dandelion root granules plus - 1/2 teaspoon roasted organic chicory root granules. (Roasted chicory root is another nutritional powerhouse, the best source of inulin, which is a great prebiotic to feed good intestinal flora. But I use less chicory than dandelion because a little goes a long way - the chicory root "coffee" is very intense in density and flavor, and I prefer the dandelion root flavor. You can play with the proportions of chicory to dandelion. A friend does 50/50, which is good, too!) Bring it to a slow boil and turn immediately down to simmer for about 5 minutes, or turn off the heat on an electric burner. It will continue simmering. It's worked with just 2-3 minutes, as well as with more than 5 minutes. Strain into a mug. It's faster and easier than it sounds, and is much easier to clean up than coffee grounds in a French press. I add organic coconut cream and a few drops of stevia to each cup. Sometimes I make my own "bulletproof" version in the blender with 1T. grass fed butter, 1T. MCT oil, 1/4tsp. Ceylon cinnamon, and a 1T. grass fed gelatin or collagen.

I can go on and onabout this tea and no one will believe me but that's okay. I was dealing with fatigue that no amount of sleep would fix, having trouble with constipation, and urinating so much to the point I resented going to the bathroom and needing to change underwear frequently. I never got to the bottom of this issue with doctors who seemed puzzled but not concerned enough because it wasn't cancer. Which, irritated me. I went to go see a Reiki healer who suggested I get my liver checked by my doctor, from just seeing me, no symptoms mentioned. Funny enough that's how I came across this tea. I'm not here to say dandelion tea is the CURE to cancer, but oh my gosh this is the longest I've gone in a day without taking a nap. My pee doesn't SMELL (a miracle) and I've had quite an effortless time doing the #2 in the restroom! I am so so happy. To the people complaining about the taste, it's really not that bad. As a matter of fact I find it quite delicious. Add a cinnamon stick when you boil your tea in fact, if you want some natural seeetness. I boil this in my electric kettle and put the tea away in a 64oz pitcher and drink it everyday. I surely could have been on my way to cancer or disease had I not found a solution to my bladder situation/chronic fatigue if you will. I never really cared for Reiki healers but the one I saw might have been onto something. I am thankful it never got to the point of cancer/chemo (expenses, hello?) and everyday I am realizing the best nutrients on this earth are found from the soil beneath us, and not factories. Bravo, Starwest! Also: seems like I'll be getting at least a good 6 months supply from this bag. Amazing bargain! Never going to buy these in tea bags.

This is only the second time I have ever purchased dandelion root for tea. The first time was right before purchasing this product, when I bought some tea bags filled with roasted dandelion root. I wanted to see if I liked it before committing to a pound. I ended up liking the tea from the roasted dandelion tea bags, so I ordered this pound. Although I found this product to be of good quality, well packaged, and tasted good, it took me awhile to figure out why I liked it less than the packaged tea bags I had purchased. I finally determined, after comparing the color of each side by side, and chewing on the granules of each, that this Starwest product is just not quite roasted enough for my liking. (Like I have a lot of experience to go on!! :-) I ended up roasting it more myself and ended up very happy. So, although as a product I could easily assign it five stars for quality, I chose one star less because this is so lightly roasted it seems like a misnomer to have indicated it is roasted. Matter of preference. However, this won't keep me from buying it again if I can't find a darker roasted root.

Great flavor. It’s brighter and cleaner tasting than the teabag variety from a store. Sometimes I add it to my chamomile in a French press but usually I simply put directly in a mug. Hard to describe the flavor and texture of the softened bits after the tea is gone, I like them and most of us could use the fiber. Seems a waste not to eat them and they’re soft from making the tea.

Good value for money not sure if it’s organic...

Very pleasant taste. Love it! So very good for your health. Bought a special jug too to filter the dandelion root especially for this product.

Superb

As expected

Just love it
