Ingredients
The sachets contain very finely ground dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale), and burdock root (Arctium lappa), half and half, both lightly roasted.
Dandelion & Burdock Coffee
is a unique coffee substitute made from roasted dandelion and burdock roots. The medicinal teaa of burdock root are similar to those of dandelion root. Burdock is diuretic and diaphoretic, it is one of the best blood purifiers and a remedy for all skin diseases including eczema. The burdock belongs to the thistles group. It gets its name of “Dock” from its large leaves (as large as rhubarb leaves at the base) and the “Bur” from the little hooked prickles which stick like velcro to everything they come in contact with.
In Japan it is cultivated for its roots and, after three months growth, used as a vegetable in stir-fries. It has a sweet and mucilagineous taste. Golden Field’s burdock is grown in New Zealand on certified organic farms and is harvested early autumn. It used to be a traditional combination in Britain, but nowadays only a dandelion & burdock artificially flavoured soft drink can still be bought.
