Botanical name: Taraxacum officinale
Our organic dandelion root brews into a rich, earthy, slightly bitter tea with deep, roasted notes when simmered. Naturally caffeine-free, dandelion root has a long history of traditional use for liver and kidney support, digestion, and gentle cleansing.
Sourced from Croatia, this root is most often prepared as a slow-simmered decoction to draw out its full flavour and traditional benefits.

About Dandelion Root
Dandelion root has been widely used in traditional herbal medicine as a liver and digestive tonic. Traditionally, it has been used to stimulate bile flow, support digestion, and gently encourage elimination through its mild diuretic effect, making it a staple herb in cleansing and seasonal wellness practices.
Nutritionally, dandelion root naturally contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C, D, and B-complex, as well as iron, magnesium, zinc, manganese, choline, calcium, boron, and a notably high amount of potassium. This nutrient density contributes to its long-standing reputation as a deeply nourishing and supportive root.
Dandelion root is often used daily over time as part of longer-term wellness routines rather than for acute concerns.
