Yes, authentic South Indian filter coffee blends traditionally pair roasted coffee beans with graded chicory root. The chicory adds natural thickness, deep amber color, and a pleasant roasted sweetness to the decoction. This creates the heavy body required to hold up against boiled whole milk and frothed South Indian sugar.
Without chicory, traditional stainless steel gravity drip filters produce a thin decoction that separates or dilutes when mixed with hot milk. The calibrated inclusion of chicory grounds binds the cup for a classic South Indian hotel texture.
Place the ground coffee in the upper chamber of a traditional stainless steel Indian filter and press lightly with the umbrella plunger. Pour freshly boiled water over the bed and let it drip slowly without agitation. The resulting first-press decoction yields maximum aroma, body, and rich crema-like foam.
For best results, let the brewing cylinder sit undisturbed for fifteen to twenty minutes. Pour out the concentrated lower chamber extract directly into a dabarah tumbler set, add foaming hot boiled milk, and aerate by pouring back and forth.
Commercial filter blends often rely on over-roasted low-grade beans and excess chicory filler to cut costs. Telaa selects estate-grown Indian coffees roasted in small batches by Aeroroast in Rajkot. We balance clean origin notes with curated chicory, delivering traditional South Indian cup strength without harsh, burnt aftertaste.
