I recently tried New Orleans chicory coffee blend for the first time. I'd read about in historical fiction books and was always curious. So when this opportunity arose, I thought I would see what it was.
My first question was: "What is chicory?
Chicory is a perennial bushy plant, it is the common name for endive. It is part of the dandelion family. While the leaves are used in salads, it is the root of the plant, mixed with the dark roast> Coffee. The root must be dried, roasted and ground. When brewed, it is thick and tastes bitter and nothing like coffee.
Now my next question is "why use it?"
The Germans started with chicory as a coffee substitute in the 18th to avoid tax on foreign-century notions of luxury. Napoleon had a plan to make Europe self-sufficient, the best substitute for French could find the coffee (as it is not widely grown in Europe, if at all) was chicory. After Napoleon's downfall, most French people went back to drinking coffee, but some never lost their fondness for chicory. It was brought, the French settlers, chicory in the southern United States. Chicory has been used widely States "stretch" in the United for coffee with coffee and money are scarce.
And my third question: "What does it taste?"
New Orleans Chicory Blend is usually a dark roast coffee and chicory. This American> Coffee has an earthy, sweet flavor. It is full-bodied with a fair amount of acid. I found the taste a little bitter. But I suspect the final result would depend on how much chicory is used. (The standard ratio of 2 parts coffee to 1 part chicory).
Chicory has no caffeine, so if you're watching your caffeine intake, but not like decaffeinated coffee, by chicory can just make a option you.
