For those who love chicory but can't have the caffeine.......
New Orleans is as well known for our coffee as for our world renowned cuisine. Chicory, burned endive root, contains no caffeine and was used to stretch coffee supplies during the Civil War. As an ingredient of coffee, chicory earned a place on the list of food and beverage items that are unique to New Orleans and remains a daily staple for many residents and transplants today.
Chicory adds a subtle sweet taste to dark roast for an enjoyable cup any time of day. Enjoy this fresh blend of ground dark roasted coffee blended with chicory black, with your preferred additives or with steamed or boiled milk as a Cafe au lait, New Orleans style.
