French Roast with Chicory - Colombian Blend

Dark Roast | Robust Chicory | Strong & Rich

Our deepest cup, taking the New Orleans coffee & chicory tradition to its fullest expression.

This is a dark roast Colombian blend with a generous measure of chicory that pulls you into the world of bold, robust, traditional New Orleans coffee.

You can scour the world for this cup, but you will find it in one place only: at Try-Me Coffee on France Street in the Bywater, where we have roasted coffee for more than 100 years.

It belongs to this little corner of the city distinctly and unapologetically New Orleans.

And if we could paint you a picture of how it is made, let us do just that.

• We roast the coffee dark on our century-old roasters, until the rich aroma fills the old roastery.
• We carefully measure the chicory, a naturally sweet root, roasted and ground to match the grind of the coffee.
• We bring the two together in our original coffee & chicory mixer, where they tumble together in just the right proportion, as they have for generations.
• Then we pack it into our kraft bags, with the scent of freshly roasted coffee still in the air and WWOZ humming in the background.

A little piece of New Orleans, made the old way, in the same place it has always been made.

Why isn’t coffee and chicory available as whole bean? Chicory is a roasted root, not a bean, and it needs to be ground to match the coffee before the two can be properly blended.
