Mellow Rooster

YO. Mellow Rooster, you are MAGICAL.

Sure, sure, it’s been no secret recently that I have been super addicted to coffee. And while Mellow Rooster prides itself on tasting JUST like the real deal, without the caffeine, I was truly skeptical at first that it could compare to my beloved java.

But in a weird turn of events, Mellow Rooster was actually far more delicious than regular coffee, while still VERY much resembling the flavor profile of a cup of Joe. How do they do it?!

This Denver-based herbal blend is an insanely nutritious, 100% organic mix of things figs, chicory root, dandelion root, lemon peel, orange peel, carob and ashwagandha. NONE of these things taste great on their own. Especially chicory and ashwaghandha. But Mellow has figured out a way to make this concoction sweet, citrusy, chocolate-y and smooth. My mind was blown the first sip. And although I know there is no caffeine in it, I felt great, alert and awake after every cup. With no upset stomach or shakiness post-drink, like usually happens to me with coffee.

I didn’t try to get fancy with it, just enjoyed it straight up. I felt a million times better than I do waking up with regular coffee, and cannot recommend Mellow Rooster enough! The creators are also rad, and I love connecting with awesome local people like them. Their product comes in two variations-one with ashwagandha and one dubbed, Mellow Mama, that is void of it. You can grab some at Nooch OR online here!
