Born from botanist Dr. Peter Gail’s search for a better caffeine-free drink, Dandy Blend makes instant herbal coffee alternatives from roasted roots and grains. The Valley City, Ohio, family business began in 1994 as a basement operation and is now carried on by Gail’s daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. Its powdered beverage dissolves in hot or cold liquid without brewing and is offered in regular, organic and two-root Purely Rooted versions.
