One of the more interesting aspects of coffee is how much its level of roast can affect its flavor. Whereas lighter roast coffees tend to have a brighter, crisper, more delicately acidic character to them, dark roasts are bigger, bolder, and often quite chocolatey. But did you know that going through a roasting process can also have a similar affect on herbal teas? Take Trader Joe’s Organic Roasted Herbal Tea, for instance. Made with a blend of rich, roasted carob, barley, and chicory, along with a bit of dried fig and date to add a dark, fruity undertone, this terrifically toasty and full-flavored tea has a remarkable depth of flavor. So much so, in fact, that it almost feels more like a coffee on the palate than an everyday herbal tea, while still remaining naturally caffeine-free. An excellent choice for anyone who loves the taste of coffee but prefers to avoid caffeine, anyone who likes their tea extra strong, or indeed anyone who enjoys unique and full-flavored beverages of all kinds, our Organic Roasted Herbal Tea can be served in any situation where coffee would be called for. Sip it slow with a nice sweet pastry. Ice it and mix with milk or your favorite non-dairy alternative. Or pair it with any of your favorite breakfast options for a long, luxurious, weekend brunch.
