FAQs
What is Sip Herbals?
A roasted root tea with the body of coffee. We roast organic chicory root, dandelion root, and carob until they are dark and toasty, then you steep them like tea or brew them in your coffee maker. No coffee beans, so zero caffeine and no acid. Browse all caffeine-free coffee alternatives.
Does it taste like coffee?
Our herbal coffee alternative offers a dark, rich, toasty, earthy, and nutty flavor. While it does not taste exactly like coffee, it has a robust flavor that softens and sweetens dramatically with the addition of something creamy. It holds up well to milk and cream, similar to traditional coffee, and boasts a complex flavor profile that many find uniquely satisfying.
Is this safe to drink during pregnancy?
Our coffee alternative is crafted from chicory, carob, and dandelion—all ingredients recognized as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). However, every pregnancy is unique. We recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to determine if our product suits your individual dietary needs during pregnancy.
Are your products made in a nut-free facility?
Our products do not contain peanuts. However, they are manufactured in a facility that processes tree nuts, including almonds and coconut, as well as eggs, flax, and soy on the same production line. We take steps to prevent cross-contamination, but it's important for those with severe allergies to consider this information.
