Acorn Coffee Substitute

Description

Acorn Coffee Substitute – 100% Natural Caffeine-Free Roasted Acorn Drink with Warming Spices

What Is Acorn Coffee Substitute?

Acorn Coffee Substitute Herba Organica is a finely ground roasted acorn product with a small addition of traditional warming spices (cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and cloves). It brews into a dark, aromatic drink that has become a popular everyday alternative to regular coffee for thousands of customers across the UK and all over the world. The complete absence of caffeine means you can enjoy it morning, afternoon or late evening without any stimulating effect.

A Drink With Deep European Tradition

This type of drink has a long history in Europe. For centuries, particularly during the 19th and 20th centuries when coffee beans were expensive or in short supply, people collected acorns in autumn, processed them and roasted them at home or in small local roasteries. The result was a surprisingly coffee-like beverage – dark, slightly bitter, with a pleasant roasted-nut character. Our version follows the same traditional method but adds a carefully balanced 1.5 % spice blend that gives the finished drink a gentle, rounded aroma reminiscent of winter markets, yet subtle enough not to overpower the main acorn flavour.

Ingredients & Composition

• Roasted acorns – 98.5%

• Cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves – 1.5%

All ingredients are 100% natural, caffeine-free, with no additives, preservatives, colours or flavour enhancers. The blend is also fully suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets.

Completely Caffeine-Free

With absolutely no caffeine, this Acorn Coffee UK drink fits well into evening routines, late-night reading sessions, or situations where you simply prefer a roasted drink without stimulation.

Versatile and Easy to Prepare
