Hey Maria…

How are you doing.

I bought the blend coffee with 30 percent chicory and the rest real coffee.

It tasted good.

A bit dark than the usual but I liked it.

Glad you liked it! It is a bit of an acquired taste - you will probably like it more with time:)

I love that he knew exactly where it was and wanted to take his daughter to see it.

☺️☺️ He was my favorite person ever when I was a child.. I was very fortunate to have parents who connected me with nature very early on.

Such a beautiful tender flower.

One question though.

I heard Chicory is sometimes added in coffee powder..

By any chance does this flower belong to that variety..

Thank you Capry! Yes, there is something called 'chicory coffee' which is chicory's roasted root - it tastes quite similar to coffee and is much cheaper. They used to call it 'poor man's coffee' back in the day. I use it sometimes instead of coffee to reduce caffeine.

Is that good.

How does it taste.

I saw a coffee blend with 30 percent chicory in it.

Didn't buy it though.

the one i drink is 100 chicory - either ground or instant, both taste pretty nice and smooth. I get it from the Russian store though, not sure what other stores have. It tastes like coffee with a slight flavor.

I am going to buy and try it out ..

Thank you Maria.

Maria's avatar

Sure! Let me know what you think of the taste

Capry Cains's avatar

Sure Maria.

At sunlight, memories, amazing day

Wishing, like Millay, to open the sky

Knowing that flowers can and will

Be picked, and physicality is frail

That chicory had roots I pulled

But all the other roots still hold
