Memories of childhood often include not only scents and tastes, but also ordinary moments. One of them is, for example, when our grandmothers sat at the table, dipped vianočka into a warm drink and told stories. And it is precisely this drink, known as Melta, that is returning to the forefront of attention today – this time not just as the „drink of the poor“, but as a true natural miracle for body and mind.
What is Melta?
Melta is a traditional Czech coffee-substitute beverage that is prepared from a blend of roasted chicory root, sugar beet, barley and rye. It has a mildly earthy taste, contains no caffeine and is full of health-beneficial substances.
Why replace coffee with Melta?
Although coffee is a daily routine for many people, it also has its pitfalls – primarily a higher caffeine content, which can negatively affect sleep, the heart and the nervous system. In contrast, Melta offers a gentle boost of energy without agitation. Here are the main reasons to return to it:
1. Support for memory and concentration
Thanks to its content of B vitamins, iron and magnesium, Melta supports the proper functioning of the nervous system and improves brain functions. People who drink it regularly often report better concentration and mental clarity.
2. Improvement of sleep quality
Melta is completely caffeine-free, so it does not disrupt the natural sleep cycle. It is an ideal choice for an evening cup that will calm you but won’t rob you of restful sleep.
3. Better mood without nervousness
Its natural composition and absence of stimulants make Melta a drink that positively affects mood without the risk of irritability or anxiety.
4. Support for digestion and detoxification
Chicory root, one of the main ingredients, contains inulin – a natural prebiotic that supports gut health, detoxifies the body and contributes to better digestion.
Health benefits of Melta in a nutshell
- Stabilizes blood sugar levels – suitable for diabetics
- Improves liver and gallbladder function – thanks to detoxifying effects
- Lowers cholesterol – and protects the cardiovascular system
- Strengthens the immune system – thanks to the content of antioxidants and vitamins

Summary
Melta is not just a nostalgic drink of our grandmothers.
