Looking for a Woody Cape chicory alternative? Look no further.

It was with sad hearts that we heard that classic South African chicory brand Woody Cape is in the process of closing up shop.

The absence of the company's beloved product on shelves has left many South Africans who enjoy chicory in place of coffee in their daily hot drinks wondering where to find a Woody Cape alternative to satisfy their chicory cravings.

Fortunately, Ancient Roots Chicory Drink remains readily available, and can be ordered online from Faithful to Nature, as well as purchased at a variety of outlets countrywide.

While Woody Cape came in teabag form, Chicory Drink comes as a pulverised powder you can spoon into your cup just as you would instant coffee. This tends to produce a stronger beverage, so if you're used to Woody Cape a little Chicory Drink will go a long way.

On the flip-side, if you're trying to emulate the flavour of strong, espresso-based coffee, that effect may be easier to achieve with Chicory Drink. You can even use it in a plunger or a moka pot, or pass it through an espresso machine for barista-grade deliciousness.
