About this coffee
Our signature filter-coffee blend. A generous 70% share of freshly roasted coffee gives it a deep aroma and a rounded body, while 30% roasted chicory adds the thick, dark decoction and gentle caramel finish that South Indian kaapi is known for. Stands up beautifully to hot milk and a spoon of sugar.
Like all our coffee, it is roasted only after your order comes in, ground right after roasting and sealed with the roast date on the pack.
How to brew it
Use 3–4 spoons of coarse powder in a steel filter, top up with water just off the boil and wait 15–20 minutes. Mix 1 part decoction with 3 parts hot milk and sugar to taste.

Questions
Is Special Blend good for South Indian filter coffee?
Yes. It is our house filter-coffee blend: the 30% chicory gives the thick decoction and caramel finish of a traditional kaapi, and the 70% coffee keeps the aroma strong.
How much powder for one cup?
About 1 heaped spoon (7–8 g) per tumbler. For a full steel filter, 3–4 spoons make decoction for 3–4 cups.
