Chicory Coffee Blend
Indian Arabica Coffee blended with Indian Chicory root powder. This blend is used in Indian Filter Coffee. A blend that was introduced to India by British during world war II and now the most popular Coffee blend in India. Every roaster has a different take on this blend and so do we! Our recipe meticulously crafted to redefine your filter coffee experience. This blend comprises 20% Chicory and 80% Arabica beans. Just like the coffee farm, this ratio of chicory to coffee is also passed down for generations. Contains 20% Chicory root powder which brings the perfect balance of rich, velvety texture and mouthfeel with long lasting flavor. Chicory has “inulin”, a prebiotic. A substantial amount of clinical research suggests that Chicory can promote gut health by stimulating the growth of beneficial gut bacteria while decreasing other germs and bacteria in the intestines. Brewing Methods : Indian Filter, Moka Pot

![Weekends are for relaxing, rejuvenating and enjoying your favorite coffee. We often experiment with different beans on the weekends and today we decided to open the all Indian espresso blend Chikka. This batch was roasted in January. We wanted to see if the Coffee is still any good in May.
The Coffee still has the same strong aroma, the same bold taste and it still reminds me of Chikmagalur ❤️

![How to make filter coffee…
In India, the traditional coffee recipe is known as “filter coffee” or just “kaapi”. and it’s always a blend of specialty Indian coffee and chicory root powder.
The golden ratio of coffee to chicory is 80 to 20. It has been our family standard for five generation, and we think it brings the perfect balance of heavy, rich, velvety texture, and mouthfeel with long lasting flavor.
filter coffee can be brewed in a traditional, Indian coffee filter or a mocha pot. Add some milk and just a tiny bit of sugar. make sure to enjoy that coffee while it’s hot.

![Wild elephants wandering off into the coffee farms has become more frequent nowadays.
This elephant wandered off into a coffee estate in sakleshpura mountains. It’s roughly 30 minutes drive from our coffee farms.
Last month a herd of wild elephants passed through our coffee farm, destroying banana and coffee plants on their way.
Coffee grows in the mountains. Elephants were on these mountains before we started cultivating this land. While we recognize that we share the mountains with them, it’s also terrifying when they visit the farms.
