About our ingredients
6
In Europe chicory root was frequently roasted and drinks were prepared from it
as early as the 16th century. It was strongly believed that drinks made from
roasted grains and chicory had a positive influence on human health. The
tradition of drinking such beverages has survived to this day, with a more
modern form of the product being instant beverages.
• Grains: are a basic element of a healthy diet. The proteins and
carbohydrates contained in them provide energy for the most important
functions of the body. Our roasting process extracts a product with a taste
and aroma similar to that of coffee.
• Roots: apart from their characteristic taste, which is released during the
roasting process, they are a rich source of many additional substances such
as: chicory root – inulin and prebiotics, whose positive effect on our digestive
system has been scientifically proven.
• Dried fruit and plant extracts: we strive to preserve the taste and natural
qualities that are contained in fruit, flowers and tea; to that end we use
special production methods that retain the original taste and aroma.
• Coffee: we usually combine it with chicory or a grain mix, enabling us to
obtain a drink with a milder taste and aroma. We offer several coffee based
products.
The production process
7
Drinks based on grains and chicory are perceived to be an alternative to coffee, since roasting and
other production processes give them a similar flavour and aroma. However, the ingredients from
which they are produced do not contain caffeine.
