History of Chicory in India:
Prior to the 1950s chicory was not cultivated in India. So all South Indian Filter Coffee had
European imported chicory.

In the late 1950s the first chicory seeds were imported and cultivation began in South India.
It wasn't until 1971 businesses realised that chicory cultivation in the South wasn't of the
quality they saw in the imported variety. It was here when one family decided to go to the
North West of India and begin cultivation. This saw immediate results in the quality of
chicory, and today India has become one of the finest producers of premium grade chicory.

The family processes chicory from "FARM to CUP. In the first step the Chicory seeds
imported from France are distributed to the farmers during September / October for growing.
Contracts are made with the farmers for quality & quantity. The harvesting of the roots are
planned for mid-March to mid-May every year. The company owns the complete harvest
handling equipment right from receiving the fresh roots from the farmers, cleaning, washing,
dicing, sun drying & eventually packing & storage.

The next step is roasting, once the harvest is completed, the company roasts the Chicory in its
own facility in South India. This is where we specify the exact requirements as per our lab
analysis.

The family owns a roasting factory in South India where it can roast the Chicory as per our
requirements. The working environment inside the roasting factory is maintained to meet
with the standards of food safety and also to provide a safe working environment for the
workers.

Coffee became his one and only passion.

the leading brands in the chicory market in India. We deal with finest quality of chicory from
