About Herbal Coffee

The Rich Alternative

Giving up caffeine doesn't mean giving up the ritual. We created this blend for the coffee lover who misses the dark, roasted depth of their morning cup. Built on a base of roasted Chicory and Dandelion roots, it mimics the bitterness and body of coffee, while Carob and Cacao Nibs add a creamy, chocolatey finish.

Why It Works

Most herbal teas are too thin to replace a latte. This blend is different. The roasted roots provide a heavy mouthfeel and a deep, dark color that tricks the brain. Unlike acidic coffee, the Dandelion and Chicory are historically used to support digestion and liver health, making this a brew that heals as it energizes.

The Latte Ritual

Treat it like espresso. Brew this strong (1 tablespoon per cup) and steep for at least 5-7 minutes. Because it is robust, it stands up perfectly to milk. Add hot oat milk and a dash of cinnamon for a caffeine-free cappuccino that actually satisfies.

Organic Ingredients
  • Organic Roasted Dandelion Root
  • Organic Roasted Carob
  • Organic Roasted Cacao Nibs
  • Organic Roasted Chicory Root
Tasting Notes

Aroma: Deep and roasted. It smells of dark toast, cocoa, and earth.

Flavor: Bold and full-bodied. The chicory provides a pleasant bitterness similar to dark roast coffee, balanced by the natural chocolate notes of carob.

Finish: Smooth and nutty, with no acidity.

Why You'll Love It

The Coffee of New Orleans: Chicory root became famous in New Orleans during the Civil War as a coffee extender. Today, it is prized in herbalism for its ability to support liver health while providing a satisfying, roasted flavor.

Cacao Nibs: We use raw roasted cacao nibs to add richness. They provide a hint of Theobromine, a gentle mood-lifter found in chocolate that promotes a feeling of well-being.

Craft Your Cup

  • The French Press: This is the best way to brew it. The full immersion allows the roots to release their full flavor. Press it just like coffee.
  • Dessert Coffee: Brew it strong and pour over vanilla ice cream for a caffeine-free Affogato.

Your Questions About Herbal Coffee, Answered.

Does it taste exactly like coffee?

It is close! It captures the roasted, bitter, and full-bodied profile of coffee, but without the acidity. Think of it as a darker, earthier cousin to coffee.

Does it have caffeine?

No. It is naturally caffeine-free. Any "lift" you feel comes from the theobromine in the cacao nibs, which supports mood without the jitters.

Can I brew this in a French Press?

Yes! In fact, we recommend it. The coarse roots brew perfectly in a press. Use 1 heaping tablespoon per cup and steep for 5 minutes for the richest flavor.

FAQs Simply Answered

Are your teas organic?

The Short Answer: Yes. Every single leaf, root, and flower we source is Certified USDA Organic.

The Details: We believe that flavor starts in the soil. We strictly partner with growers who practice sustainable, organic farming, organic approved pesticides, no GMOs, and no "natural flavorings" sprayed on the leaves. While our Salem facility is a dedicated small-batch kitchen (and not yet a certified processing plant), our commitment to 100% organic ingredients is absolute. You are drinking pure nature, nothing else.

What are the "Refill Bags"?

We designed our system to be sustainable.

Our Signature Tin, protects the tea and contains all the detailed brewing and ingredient information.

The Refill: When you run low, you buy a Refill Bag.

Please Note: These biodegradable bags are designed as "Transport Vessels" only. They are not intended for individual sale. Upon arrival, please use the refill bag with into your YBTCO Tin. This ensures your tea stays fresh and you have the correct brewing instructions at hand.

Where is this made?

Handcrafted in Oregon.

Every batch of Yerba Buena tea is blended, tested, and packed in our dedicated tea kitchen in Salem, Oregon. We do not use co-packers or giant industrial machines. We blend in small lots to ensure that the oils are still volatile and the spices are still punchy when they reach your cup. It is a difference you can taste.

Is it safe for allergies (Gluten/Nuts)?

We keep it clean. All YBTCO teas are naturally Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Vegan. Our facility does not process wheat, soy, peanuts, or dairy.

The Coconut Note: The only allergen present in our facility is Coconut (Tree Nut), which is used in specific blends like Maven Blend and Turmeric Spice. We adhere to strict cleaning protocols to prevent cross-contamination, but if you have a severe tree nut allergy, please shop with caution.

When will my order ship?

We know you are ready to brew. Because we hand-pack orders, they typically leave our Oregon kitchen within 2-3 business days.

  • Free Shipping: We cover the shipping on all US orders over $70.
  • The Carriers: We ship via USPS and UPS. You’ll get a tracking number the second your label is printed so you can follow the tea to your doorstep.
