Looking to cut back on caffeine without giving up a comforting hot drink? Barleycup offers a smooth, roasted cereal beverage made from barley, rye and chicory that’s naturally caffeine-free. It’s quick to prepare, gentle-tasting and easy to enjoy at any time of day, from your first cup in the morning to a cosy evening brew.

Caffeine-free comfort with roasted cereals

Barleycup is crafted from roasted grains and chicory to deliver a mellow, coffee-style cup without the jitters or late-night restlessness associated with caffeine. The result is a toasty aroma and balanced flavour that sits happily with dairy or plant-based milks, or simply with hot water if you prefer a lighter drink. If you like a classic profile that’s smooth and rounded, try the Original Granules, which dissolve quickly for a clean, comforting cup. Prefer an organic option? The Organic Coffee Alternative keeps things simple with organically sourced ingredients and the same gentle roast character.

Find your blend

Barleycup also comes in nutrient-enriched choices to suit different routines. The Calcium & Vitamins blend adds selected vitamins alongside calcium, while the Magnesium blend offers a mineral-focused option with the same easy-drinking taste. For those who enjoy a more versatile format for cooking and baking, the Original Powder is a handy cupboard staple that stirs smoothly into drinks and recipes.

How to brew and enjoy

Making Barleycup is simple: add your chosen blend to a cup, pour over hot water, then top with your favourite milk if you wish. Adjust the strength to taste. It’s just as good over ice for a refreshing pick-me-up, and the powder format can lend a gentle roast note to smoothies, overnight oats and desserts. Because it’s naturally caffeine-free, you can savour a cup whenever it suits, whether you’re taking a mid-afternoon break or winding down in the evening.

At Holland & Barrett, you’ll find a curated range of Barleycup blends to match your preferences, alongside friendly guidance if you need a hand choosing. Enjoy a comforting alternative to coffee with a warm, balanced flavour and simple, plant-based ingredients.
