| I'm really surprised at the taste of your blend and really did enjoy it... |
| Just wanted to let you know that I tried your product at Moonhawk Herbals in Vienna, OH. I've tried other coffee substitutes and didn't like them at all. I'm really surprised at the taste of your blend and really did enjoy it, therefore, bought a bag, plus several individual packets to have others try it. Now, three months later: since trying Dandy Blend, which was in June, I have had only one cup of coffee, and that only because a friend visited and brought his own coffee beans. I still enjoy the Dandy Blend more. In fact I have graduated to the 2 lb. bag. Most of the summer I have drunk it iced with half and half and agave nectar. I even sprinkle the dry granules on vanilla ice cream....YUM!

| Dandy Blend is something we found at the health place. It makes you feel like you’re having coffee. It’s made out of dandelion and barley and chicory. I stopped drinking coffee. I had reflux and it was messing with my voice. I want to be able to sing any which way I want. (From Sunday Routine section, New York Times, 6-17-10) |

| I have been drinking Dandy Blend for a few years now and want to thank you for making it available. Now that the warm weather is here I am also enjoying it cold. It mixes easily with water making it a no fuss treat. I add a dash of rice milk and soy milk, and pour it over ice. A few drops of stevia and/or cinnamon and I am set. What a great way to enjoy a warm summer day! Thanks again for a truly wonderful product. I purchase Dandy Blend at Kimberton Whole Foods in Downingtown, PA. |

| Thank God for Dandy Blend, I now have a delicious alternative... |
| Hi Peter Gail, I was hooked on decaf iced coffee at Dunkin Donuts with caramel and cream. I shouldn't have any amounts of caffeine or dairy in my system and the caramel syrup isn't the best for me for sure. Thank God for Dandy Blend, I now have a delicious alternative. 8-10oz soy milk(rice milk) 1 rounded tsp(or more) Dandy Blend 1 tsp agave nectar 1 shake ground cinnamon stir until smooth, deeelicious! I keep my Dandy Blend in the refrigerator for freshness. |

| After drinking my first cup of Dandy Blend and following it with a second cup... |
| After drinking my first cup of Dandy Blend and following it with a second cup at 9:30 pm, I found that I couldn't fall asleep all night. Since it is an herbal product, I never guessed that it would also have the "stimulant" properties that coffee does. When I say "stimulant", I don't mean that it was a nervous, jittery buzz I get from coffee. When I took it at night it was just so energizing. They say the same things for greens and liquid minerals products- not to take them at night. But I think the energy "up" lasts longer with Dandy Blend than what I get when I take greens or minerals. You should suggest on the label that people try this in the morning first to see what effect it has before taking it before bedtime, since they might have the same effect that I experienced. |

| I recently discovered Dandy Blend and love it! I don't drink coffee any longer, but I love the taste. With Dandy Blend, I can still enjoy the delicious coffee taste without any of the side effects of real coffee. I gave some to a friend who had also stopped drinking coffee for health reasons, but missed it. A few days later she called and said "I made a little mocha drink with it and thought I'd died and gone to Heaven. It is excellent! I think the person who made it should win the Nobel Peace Prize!" I share her sentiments. Thank you for your wonderful product. |

| I’ll drink Dandy Blend the rest of my life... |
| I’ll drink Dandy Blend the rest of my life. Been on it now for 3-4 months. I have a bladder condition that has kept me in misery. I’d go to the doctor, and wouldn’t even try to sit down, just stand up and lean against the wall, the pain was so bad. He would inject a pain killer in the bladder, and it would take the edge off the pain until I ate something, then it would come back again. Since starting DB along with local honey. No more problems. I can eat anything with out problems. For the last two weeks, I have eaten anything I want with no pain at all. |

| After giving up coffee I found myself missing my morning routine... |
| It's been over two years now that I have been drinking Dandy Blend and I look forward it first thing in the morning. I tried tea in the morning but nothing else is better than the smell and taste of coffee, or now, Dandy Blend. Please don't ever stop making this wonder tasting beverage. |

| Dandelion root "coffees" are used regularly in the Orient to increase lactation. The practice is now coming to the US |
| While I was pregnant, I had a Japanese friend who introduced me to Dandelion "coffee." She was using it to increase lactation, as they do in Japan. I had two cups, and had contractions for the rest of the night. It possibly had an effect on oxytocin, the hormone that influences both lactation and uterine contractions. Once I had my baby, I wanted to get some of this dandelion drink. The only one I found in the US that was like this Japanese instant one was Dandy Blend. The other ones out there were just herbal teas. I drink it all the time now, and have found that it has increased my milk production. It tastes great, and anyone that I've given it to has loved it too. It's a great substitute for coffee. You really can't taste the difference. I'll be drinking it when I'm done breastfeeding, too. |

| Dandy Blend is delicious sprinkled over various flavors of ice cream. I let it melt a little, and stir it in. I also add a tablespoon to the dry ingredients when I bake Chocolate chip cookies and it really makes them deeper and richer tasting. Have fun! |

| "" Began searching for Postum (the only *coffee alternative* type beverage I ever really enjoyed) recently, only to discover it's no longer being made--Big Fat Bummer!!! Did an online search and came across some Post(um)ings in which Dandy Blend was touted as being anywhere from "just like" to "even better than" Postum, so decided to try it... |
| I LOVE the stuff!! Now, it's been years since I've tasted Postum, but I must say that, to my recollection, it comes pretty darn close, and MAY taste even better. *Crisis* solved. To anyone looking for an alternative to coffee, I say TRY IT! I often just toss some into a shaker cup with cold milk for a foamy treat. And I KNOW I'm gonna love it on ice cream! |

| I teach Kundalina yoga in Delaware, Ohio and just learned about DandyBlend from a fellow instructor. It is wonderful and I plan to start serving Dandy Blend to my students after classes. |
| Thank you for bringing this marvelous product to market. I have been looking for years for something to replace my morning coffee ritual. Though I had switched to decaf, I still really just wanted to stop drinking it. Tried to switch to tea - which didn't cut my morning ritual requirements (rich, creamy, coffee tasting)!! So, I was incredibly excited to find DandyBlend and have been drinking it twice a day religiously. I just love the fact that I am drinking something that tastes so good and is so good for me. And is perfectly suited for my morning coffee ritual!

| I am a health nut! I love coffee's flavor, FINALLY I can have my "CAKE AND EAT IT TOO"! I have several nutritional protein shakes daily to keep me fit and ready for what life has in store for me, so my favorite way to use "Dandy Blend" is mixing 8-10oz organic milk or kifer, 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder, 5 ice cubes, 1 rounded tsp DANDY BLEND, and stevia for added sweetness....blend and "viola"!!! The BEST protein shake EVER!!!!!!!!! Thanks again, (fan for life) |

I'd like to submit a recipe that uses Dandy Blend. There are some desserts listed in your booklet, but none of them can be as scrumptious as this Dark Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake. It contains no coffee or sugar (okay, there's some sugar in the cherry filling). I adapted it from a recipe in Kathleen Daeleman's Cooking Thin With Chef Kathleen. She uses sugar and espresso.
Pam Campbell-- proprietress of the Mother Earth Health Food store, where our family buys your product-- endorses this recipe.
Open full view to see recipe |
Dark Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake
For the Crust (or use pre-made graham cracker crust)
1 1/4 cups fine cookie crumbs (graham cracker)
2 tablespoons granulated natural sweetener (I use XyloSweet)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon water
For the Filling
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup brewed Dandy Blend (2 teaspoons dissolved in 1/4 cup boiling water)
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup granulated natural sweetener
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup cherry pie filling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Crust:
Mix crumbs and sweetener in a mixing bowl until combined. Add butter and water. Make sure all ingredients are combined. Pour contents of bowl into an 8 or 9 inch baking pan. Make sure there is about a 1/2 inch edge along the sides. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. The crust will be hardened when ready. Put aside to cool. Reduce the oven to 300 degrees F. Put a cake pan filled with water on the bottom oven rack (to prevent the cake from drying out while baking).
Filling:
In a double boiler (or use one slightly-smaller pan placed inside another with boiling water), heat chocolate chips and coffee. Stir often, until the chocolate is melted, about 4 to 5 minutes. Let this cool.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until light and smooth. Add sweetener and salt. Beat another 2 minutes. Use a spatula to pull the mix off the sides of the bowl, then add eggs. Beat 1 minute. Scrape down sides, then add melted chocolate combination and vanilla extract. Scrape down sides. Beat 1 minute.
Pour the batter into the crust, then bake on top rack for 55 to 60 minutes. Turn off oven, and let cake rest for 15 to 20 more minutes. Then take it out and cool it on a heat-resistant surface (like a hot pad or dish holder) for 20 minutes. Refrigerate 1 hour. If you can manage it, freeze 1 hour.
Remove cake from freezer, and cut it into 10 to 12 slices. Before serving, top each slice with 1 tablespoon cherry pie filling. Another option is to pour the can of filling over the cake and refrigerate it for 2 more hours.

| I wanted to tell you that I think your Dandy Blend is so wonderful. After a visit to Cleveland Clinic for some health issues, I was told that my liver is sick. I set about changing my lifestyle to reverse the onset of fatty liver disease and dilated bile ducts. I had to give up coffee, tea, alcohol,processed foods, and dairy. I absolutely loved my coffee in the morning. Giving up solid food was a bit of a challenge, but giving up my coffee was torture. |
| I was researching all the benefits of using dandelion for liver ailments. I went to the local health food store and they suggested that I try the Dandy Blend. I thought, probably another product that cows would like! To my amazement, it was FABULOUS! I couldn't believe it was so very good. I was in heaven and couldn't believe I found a coffee substitute(Starbucks) and with ingredients that will only foster better health. I am so glad I found your product. My life is changing for the better, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks

| Dear Dandy Blend, I, I, I LOVE YOU!!!! An avid coffee drinker for decades, when I was told by a doctor earlier this year I needed to get off coffee, I almost needed counseling! So, I tried Pero, Cafe' Roma, Bru, and Cafix, but YOU GUYS TAKE THE CAKE! I love that it's strong, like-coffee, no acid, no caffeine, and no gluten! Thank you so very much! |
