Frequently asked questions about Coffee Substitutes & Tea

Can I get coffee substitutes delivered?

Yes. We ship Postum, Cafix, Kaffree Roma, Teeccino, Dandy Blend and our herbal teas anywhere in the lower 48 states. Most orders arrive in 5–7 business days by FedEx or USPS, so we can't offer same-day delivery. Standard shipping is free on orders over $99, which is easy to reach if you stock up on a few jars at once.

What coffee substitutes do you carry?

We carry the classic roasted grain and root drinks: Postum (8 oz), Cafix Beverage Crystals (7 oz), Kaffree Roma (7 oz), Organic Dandy Blend and Teeccino herbal coffee in nine flavors, including Organic French Roast and Dandelion Caramel Nut. Postum, Cafix, Roma and Dandy Blend are instant, so you just stir them into hot water. Teeccino is roasted and ground to brew like coffee. Start with Kaffree Roma.

Where can I buy Throat Coat tea?

Right here. We carry Traditional Medicinals Organic Throat Coat in two blends, Throat Coat with Slippery Elm and Throat Coat Lemon Echinacea, alongside other Traditional Medicinals favorites like Nighty Night and Breathe Easy Eucalyptus Mint. They're organic herbal teas in bags, sold as one listing where you pick your blend. See Traditional Medicinals herbal teas.

Does Dandy Blend have caffeine?

No. Dandy Blend is an instant drink made from extracts of roasted barley, rye, dandelion root, chicory root and sugar beet, with no coffee beans. It's an instant drink with a rich, bold, creamy, coffee-like flavor that many coffee drinkers enjoy. We stock Organic Dandy Blend in 20 single packets, a 3.53 oz bag and an 11 oz bag. See Dandy Blend.

What are ginger honey crystals?

Ginger honey crystals are an instant ginger tea: concentrated ginger extract and honey dried into crystals that you stir into water. Enjoy them hot or iced; the label says they're naturally caffeine-free. We carry Original and Lemon (30 sachets), Turmeric (25 sachets), and Plum and Passion Fruit (10 sachets). Most flavors list cane sugar first. See Ginger Honey Crystals.

What is Postum?

Postum is an instant coffee alternative made from roasted wheat, wheat bran, molasses and wheat starch. Stir 2 teaspoons into 8 ounces of hot water, then add milk or sweetener if you like. It's caffeine-free, vegan and non-GMO, and has been a pantry classic for generations. We carry Postum Original in an 8 oz jar. See Postum.

Are your coffee substitutes caffeine-free?

Our roasted grain and root drinks are. Postum, Cafix, Kaffree Roma, Dandy Blend and Teeccino are all made without coffee beans or tea leaves. On the tea side, NOW herbal teas, green rooibos and ginger honey crystals are labeled caffeine-free. For other teas, check the ingredient list on each product page before you buy. See Teeccino.

Are coffee substitutes gluten-free?

Most grain coffee substitutes are not. Postum is made from wheat, and Cafix and Kaffree Roma are made from barley and rye. None of them is certified gluten-free. Dandy Blend also lists barley and rye extracts. Teeccino is built on chicory, dandelion, carob and ramón seeds instead, but check the ingredients on the flavor you pick. If you need strictly gluten-free, read every label carefully.
