CHERICO is a brand that brings chicory back into fashion with modern and gourmet recipes. Our drinks are designed to offer an alternative to coffee, combining pleasure and natural benefits.

Chicory is a plant with many virtues:

• Naturally caffeine free : ideal for consumption at any time of the day.
• Rich in inulin (prebiotic fibers) : contributes to good digestion and the balance of the intestinal microbiota.
• Reduced carbon footprint : the plant grows sustainably in France and Europe, a cup of chicory emits 5 times less CO₂ than a cup of coffee.

We are a French brand created in 2023 , and we operate mainly from Paris . We manufacture our products in France.

Our values are simple:

• Innovation & tradition : modernizing chicory without distorting it.
• Ecological commitment : offering alternatives with a carbon footprint reduced as much as possible

Our recipes do not contain any added sugar , with the exception of Chicory Cocoa , which contains whole sugar to enhance the taste of cocoa and chicory.

Chicory naturally contains inulin , a 100% natural plant sugar that provides a slight sweetness, without any effect on blood sugar. It is also this sugar that acts as a prebiotic and is beneficial for the intestinal flora.
