Starwest Botanicals Organic Raw Dandelion Root Tea [1 Pound] Bulk Cut & Sifted (C/S) Loose Tea

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 that it's organic and the roasted flavor is mild.

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.

After ruining this, the taste is amazing. I would give it five stars but when I received it today, it had a hole in the bottom of the bag in a little bit that came out and another bag that was wrapped around it so I don’t know how fresh it is. That’s my issue.

I make my own medicines, teas, etc. I used this as a tea in the beginning and then bought a capsule machine to begin making my own supplements. Starwest has the best herbs other than a couple of other companies that aren't on Amazon which I wish they were but having Starwest here is amazing!! I haven't received any stale or old herbs, nor have I had any issues w/stems and the such. They've always been fresh and amazing quality. I highly suggest this company and their herbs. Dandelion is good for so many issues. Please do your own research and no I'm not giving medical advice. I'm just merely stating that before you run out for things off of a shelf in a drug store or a pharmacy. Check out what herbs will do for you.

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.
