This was the free additional sample included with my TeaFrog sampler order. Seeing that the base was chicory, I was a little hesitant about it, as that’s not my favorite flavor. However the chicory is really competing with all the other flavors in this mix: chocolate, red pepper, and ginger are all there in strength. There’s a natural sweetness to the liquor, which steeps up to a cloudy medium brown.
Surprisingly, adding milk and sugar brings out the chicory flavor more, but it also mellows out the peppery accents – it’s tasty this way too. I’m not sure I’d order more of this right away, but it was a nice new tisane to try out.

Oh, this note has triggered a Cafe du Monde craving for their chicory coffee. It’s one of the few coffees that I really want from time-to-time. I’ll definitely have to try a sample of this if and when I place another TeaFrog order :)

The flavor of chicory in general is one which hits my taste buds strongly – you might find it pretty tame in comparison to the flavor straight!
