Ayurvedic Roast is made with all organic ingredients, starting with fresh roasted barley, chicory root, and rye. On top of these healthy grains, we add our own unique herbal combination which has been used for centuries in the ancient tradition of Ayurveda: Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Brahmi.

More information on each herb:

• Ashwagandha: Known as the the "ginseng of India", this incredible herb promotes strength and stability in the physiology, and is also an anti-oxidant. It builds immunity and strength, and calms the mind and body.
• Shatavari: Possesing many of the benefits of Ashwagandha, it counterbalances its somewhat heating quality with it cooling effect, and augments their mutually beneficial effects on the body.
• Brahmi: Commonly used in Ayurveda to lessen mental strain and worry*, it also helps increase intelligence and clarity*. In combination with the other 2 herbs, it has a soothing effect on the mind, while maintaining alertness.

The unique synergy of these three treasured organic herbs creates a soothing, uplifting, and strengthening effect on the mind, body, and spirit*.

Steep like tea or brew like coffee. Any way you do it, you'll be getting a tasty and healthy caffeine-free beverage! 

1. Boil It in Pure Water 
Add 1 tablespoon for every 1 cup of pure water, and boil about 5-10 minutes. Strain and drink. Straining is optional, as the grounds will be soft and are edible. The longer it boils, the stronger it gets. Serve with milk or cream, or soymilk, rice milk, almond milk, or coconut milk. 

2.Coffee Machine 
This also works well, and produces a deep flavored cup. Use from 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of Roast per cup (8 ounces) of water. 

3. Coffee/Tea Press 
Pour boiling water into a coffee/tea press, and add the Roast. Then let sit for 5-10 minutes, depending on the strength desired. 

4. Percolator 
Old-fashioned, but some swear this is the best way to extract maximum flavor! 

5. Just Pour Hot Water On It! 
Pour hot water into a cup containing 1-3 teaspoons (based on desired strength), and let sit for 3-5 minutes. The grounds will get soft, and can be eaten, as they are the barley, rye, and chicory root. Healthy!

Ayurvedic Roast is a combination of both old Eastern and Western traditions, coming together in one delicious, certified organic package. We get constant emails from customers saying how this is the first coffee substitute that they've tried that they actually enjoy drinking.

We took a traditional old-world, East European mixture of 3 roasted organic grains and herbs (rye, barley, and chicory) that have been used for hundreds of years as a healthy hot beverage, and combined it with 3 of the most revered and recommended herbs from the ancient Ayurvedic tradition of India: organic Brahmi, organic Shatavari, and organic Ashwagandha. The proportion is key here: and we've combined them for maximum synergistic effect. In Ayurveda isolated herbs are rarely given: it is the wholeness of the combination that produces the optimal effect.

The desired result of the combination is a body fortifying, immunity-enhancing, and mind clarifying brew. Natural energy, with a sense a calm, is what people typically describe the experience of having it.

The amounts of the herbs added are not meant to be at a medicinal level. They are there only to give an extra antioxidant boost, with the primary objective of providing an excellent alternative to people who would otherwise want/need to drink coffee.
