Chicory is the roasted and ground root of the chicory plant. It is not coffee, but it is traditionally blended with coffee in South Indian filter coffee powder, where it adds body, a darker colour and a bittersweet, slightly thick finish. Chicory contains no caffeine, so the more chicory in a blend, the less caffeine per spoon of powder.
