Worldwide Botanicals Organic Barley, Dark Roast – 1 Lb –Italy’S Orzo, Their Favorite Caffeine-Free Coffee Alternative Brew Like Acid Free, Gluten Kosher, Ground, 16 Ounces

Delicious and affordable

I got this for health reasons and also to cut back on caffeine. I've been enjoying espresso coffee and iced coffee but didn't want to keep drinking too much so this is a great replacement as it tastes just like coffee with a slight slight difference in flavor and I do mean slight in my opinion. I'm used to drinking good quality coffee and this certainly could replace coffee all together if I wanted to. It also feels good just drinking it by itself because it has a healthy feeling to it and it's not just my imagination. It's the difference between eating junk food and carrots although that's a real stretch of example but gives you the idea. Will definitely be buying this again.

Apparently, the Italians use this in the afternoons when they don't want more caffeine. It doesn't taste like coffee but it brews like coffee. I use paper filters and pour over. It comes out very dark like espresso. I often add a TB to my organic/no mold light roast coffee grounds that have only been poured over once. So less caffeine but dark color and additional flavor. Works for a second coup for me.

The **Worldwide Botanicals Organic Barley Roast** is excellent if you’re looking for a smooth, satisfying coffee alternative. It has a mildly dark, nutty flavor that’s rich without being bitter. The medium-coarse grind works perfectly in a French press, brewing evenly and cleanly. It also blends really well with creamer, which adds a nice touch of richness without overpowering the natural flavor. Overall, a great-tasting barley roast with a smooth profile and versatile brewing options. Highly recommended!

No choice but the flavor is fairly rich. The one star off because the barley pulp affects the taste and texture. It would be better if the pulp could be filtered out while retaining the flavor.
