BLEND | Chicory Coffee | Medium-Dark Roast

Chicory Coffee holds a special place in South Indian coffee culture. Blending roasted chicory root with coffee creates the signature filter kaapi—rich, aromatic, and slightly bittersweet with a smooth, full-bodied texture. Originally added to stretch scarce coffee during colonial times, chicory soon became an essential part of the South Indian brew. Today, it’s cherished not just for its flavor but for the nostalgia it evokes—reminding generations of home-brewed mornings, steel tumblers, and the comforting rhythm of everyday life.

Tasting Notes: 
When roasted chicory root is mixed with coffee it gives the resulting brew a complex depth of flavors, richer body, and creamier mouthfeel. Our blend is a mix of our medium-dark Espresso Blend and high-quality, roasted French chicory root in an 80:20 coffee to chicory ratio. It has rich chocolate and earthy flavor notes with a well-rounded body and mild acidity. Chicory Coffee blend can be brewed just like regular coffee and is best enjoyed with milk and a touch of sugar. 

Ingredients: 80% Coffee (Arabica+Robusta), 20% Chicory
