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

![Small farmers are still handpicking their coffee cherries. Why is handpicking important?
It’s because the ripeness of a coffee cherry is crucial for a great-tasting coffee. Fully ripe cherries boast optimal sugar levels, balanced acids, and complex aromas, leading to a sweet, nuanced cup. Underripe cherries result in sourness, while overripe ones can create fermented off-flavors.
That’s why handpicking separates great coffee from good coffee. Coffee cherries on a single branch ripen at different times. Handpickers carefully select only the perfectly ripe, vibrantly colored cherries. This meticulous process prevents unripe or overripe beans from tainting the batch, ensuring superior quality and a consistently delicious coffee experience.

![Honest reviews of Panamá geisha!
Since we hear a lot about Panamá geisha in the specialty coffee space, we wanted to know why there’s so much hype around this coffee. Someone in Korea paid $1300 per kilogram of Panamá geisha this year. That should tell you something about the desirability of this particular coffee!
We wanted to taste the Geisha at the source. So we did what we must. We flew to Panama, straight to the farms. Tasted the Geisha in different parts of Panama. Washed, natural and honey processed. No fermentation! They are very traditional about the coffee process in Panama.
We are no experts by any means and this review is just us having a good time on really great coffee! We really enjoyed the cup but will we spend $30 for 8oz of beans???

![Alicja from @tielhandmade made an exfoliating soap from our coffee grounds. Isn’t it amazing!!
Alicja is our regular customer at the Newark farmers market. She also is an artisan soapmaker. A few weeks ago she bought a lot of Coffee from us and told us that she was going to make soap from it!
Today, Alicja showed us the soap. It smells heavenly and we ended up buying 2 pieces immediately. If you want to get a piece from this first ever batch of coffee soap, check out her Etsy store link in @tielhandmade bio!
Hope it’s not all sold out already 🤞

![Day in life of Le Mil’s Coffee!
Starting at the @corocoffeeroom we picked up the fresh 5/13 batch. Thank you Joel for roasting.. you are the best!
because we were already in Berkeley, we made some local deliveries in the Berkeley and East Bay Neighborhood. By 2 PM we were really starving looking for a place to eat. We stopped by @bangkokbythebay for lunch and while waiting for our table decided to walk around and appreciate the rose garden in their front lawn.
next stop Aleena’s @chayakada.us! Drove from Berkeley to San Jose. Battery was already drained but we made it with just 5% remaining and made our first delivery of chicory coffee blend to @the.bread.bae !
Next up, Filter Coffee tasting session with Aleena and Shanti. We made some filter coffee and made some more until we fine tuned the recipe! The coffee tasting session quickly escalated into chai tasting session. By the end of it, we had tasted at least 3 more ethnic tea recipes from Kerala! Can’t wait for @chayakada.us to open. (Next month 🤫)
we had left the car supercharging while at Aleena‘s. Time to make drive back to San Francisco. Reached home around 7:30 PM changed and started packing the orders that needed to be shipped over the weekend.
By 8:30 PM, all the boxes were packed, labeled and ready to be shipped! 9:30 pm was dinner, watched a movie that I can’t even remember now and hit the bed by 10:30.

![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 ❤️
