Leroux French ground chicory from New Orleans Roast is a true NOLA addition to your coffee pot. The root of this flowering plant has been used for centuries in France as a coffee substitute. It gained steam in New Orleans during the Civil War when port blockades caused a shortage of real coffee. City residents grew the plant locally and created a chicory coffee mix they could combine with their meager coffee supply to make it last.

To this day, pure ground chicory remains a staple of New Orleans. You'll find chicory in many of the city's popular coffee beverages such as café au lait. It can be roasted, ground and brewed just like regular coffee. Some also use it to brew coffee stouts or mix it into other hot beverages or desserts. When you use New Orleans Roast chicory, you're getting a taste that's straight from the Big Easy.

If you already love chicory, a 3-pack of 12-oz. chicory bags or a massive 5-pound ground chicory bag will satisfy your urges. Chicory has a bitter flavor resembling real coffee but also adds woody and nutty notes. Pure ground chicory is naturally caffeine-free when brewed on its own. Our Dark Roast & Chicory blends contain coffee and are not caffeine-free.
