Sip Herbals makes a satisfying coffee alternative for people who can't drink coffee in the form of a product that steeps like tea.
Sip Herbals' co-founder Orleatha Smith found that she needed to change the way she ate in response to having an autoimmune condition but her biggest challenge was finding an alternative to coffee. After finding that a lot of the available on the options on the market contained "weird" ingredients or adaptogens, which can aggravate certain autoimmune conditions, Smith set out to create an alternative.
The resulting product was steepable herbal blend that offers the richness of coffee. The brand's autoimmune-friendly Signature Roast Herbal Coffee Substitute has a short and sweet ingredient list that's powered by all-organic roasted chicory root, carob root and dandelion root.
