Yours to customise.
If you can make it with coffee, you can make it with Root⁵.
In a cafetière.
Two heaped teaspoons per cup. Water just off the boil, four minutes, plunge slowly.
In a filter.
Exactly as you would coffee — one scoop per cup, and let it drip.
As a latte.
Brew it strong and short, then top with steamed milk. Oat is very good with it.
Over ice.
Brew at double strength, cool, pour over ice. Cold brew works too — twelve hours in the fridge.
At any hour.
No caffeine means no wrong time. Four in the afternoon, nine at night.
Coffee and Root⁵,
side by side.
Decaf can often be more acidic than regular coffee, and still carries residual caffeine. Root⁵ contains none.

Questions,
answered.
Is this a coffee replacement?
No. Root⁵ is root coffee — its own category. Roasted root, not roasted bean. Some people drink it alongside their morning espresso, others in place of an afternoon cup that would interrupt their sleep. Use it however it works for you.
What's in the bag?
Two ingredients. Roasted chicory root and roasted dandelion root. The entire list.
What does it taste like?
It tastes like itself — rich, dark and indulgent. Slow-roasted chicory brings notes of dark chocolate and caramel that coffee drinkers recognise, with a nutty hazelnut depth from the dandelion underneath. Full-bodied and smooth.
How do I brew it?
Like ground coffee. Two heaped teaspoons per cup in a cafetière, water just off the boil, four minutes, then plunge. It works just as well in a filter machine or a pour-over, and makes an excellent cold brew.
When should I drink it?
Whenever you would reach for a warm cup. Without caffeine, there is no wrong hour.
Do you do pods, or a subscription?
Pods are coming. This first release is the loose 150g blend only, and we're making it in small batches — join the list below and you'll hear the moment the pods land.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, medication?
Root⁵ is caffeine-free and made from two botanicals used in cooking and herbal traditions for centuries. As with anything new, we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider before incorporating it into pregnancy, breastfeeding or medication-managed routines. The ingredient list is short and on the pack for easy reference.
