What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the natural/tea aisle or a health-food shop, often picked up as a caffeine-free coffee alternative or a cozy evening brew. The blend gives a warm, indulgent and slightly nostalgic vibe — roasted carob, chicory and dandelion with caramel notes feel comforting and wholesome. However, the addition of a 'natural caramel nut flavor' and the packaged, ready-to-brew format point to industrial flavoring and processing beyond simple dried botanicals.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

While composed mainly of dried roots, fruits and nuts, the use of a manufactured 'natural caramel nut flavor' and a packaged, formulated product indicates added industrial ingredients and processing consistent with NOVA 4 (ultra-processed) foods.
