Born in New Orleans and raised on four generations of coffee expertise, our version of this Southern favorite combines rich, roasted Arabica coffee beans with high-quality chicory for a bolder, sweeter flavor than coffee alone. We recommend trying it café au lait style with steamed milk for a more traditional flavor. Enjoy 18 cups of coffee. Enjoy the taste of our Coffee and Chicory medium dark roast (full body, medium brightness, rich and flavorful taste.) Perfect coffe and dessert pairings: enjoy Coffee and Chicory blend with your chocolate desserts as well as complex multi-flavored desserts. Coffee and Chicory blend also available in ground 16 ounce (1 pound) bag, 23 ounce bag, 32 ounce (2 lb) bag, 36 count and 72 count box single serve coffee pods (compatible with Keurig KCup brewers). You may also enjoy medium dark roast coffees Cafe Special Blend, House Blend, and other medium dark roasts from our gourmet coffee line: Private Reserve Founders Blend, and Private Reserve Evangeline Blend. The roast refers to the temperature which the coffee bean was roasted. The roast determines the flavor of the coffee. Light roasts are described as 'sweet' or 'well-balanced', while dark roasts are intense and lively. The body is the weight of the cofee on the tongue. It’s described as 'syrupy', 'heavy' or 'buttery'. The brightness (acidity) refers to the tangy quality, liveliness or bright note that highlights the flavor of the coffee. Acidity is felt on the sides and back of the tongue. High acidity is described as 'winey', 'bright', 'lively', 'sharp', or 'tangy'.
