Kaapi Blend - Medium Dark Roast
Kaapi is India’s home grown, traditional coffee beverage.
Our Kaapi blend follows the traditional South Indian formula: a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans with a hint (20%) of chicory.
Traditional South Indian filter coffee, or Kaapi (kah-pee) as it is called locally, originated from India’s longstanding and historic coffee drinking culture that began in the 17th century. The legend is that a Sufi saint named Baba Budan brought the first beans to South India. Those beans took to India’s soil, soaking up the unique flavors of the land (hi cardamom!), and just like that, Kaapi was born.
Kaapi is the drink of choice all over South India including Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, the lush states from which we source our coffee beans!

This blend is only available in a Medium-Fine grind size (not whole beans) because it includes chicory, a caffeine-free herb that needs to be evenly distributed throughout the coffee. Chicory is an herb that has been used in Ayurveda and traditional medicine for centuries. It is said to be a cooling herb with benefits for the liver, digestion and inflammation. It adds a slightly nutty, woody, and caramel-like flavor to Kaapi.
