New Orleans-Style Coffee and Chicory

Whole Bean Coffee Blend - Cold Brew

Known affectionately as our NOLA, our New Orleans–Style Iced Coffee is one of our most popular drinks year-round. Casting around for a worthy iced-latte alternative, he stumbled upon the New Orleans tradition of serving sweet, milky coffee cut with chicory. To make our NOLA at home, we provide our whole-bean New Orleans–Style Coffee Blend and Ground Chicory, and a recipe to get you started. You just add the milk, sugar, ice, and a little bit of time.

Typically ships in 1 to 3 business days.

Blend Story

The NOLA

Initially conceived as an alternative to the erratically composed and often disappointing iced latte, our New Orleans-style Iced Coffee is cold-brewed for 12 hours with roasted chicory and sweetened with organic cane sugar. The end result is a potent concentrate that we cut with organic whole milk. For detailed brewing instructions, see our New Orleans–Style Iced Coffee brew guide.

Roasting Profile

Small Batch Coffee, Fresh-Roasted Daily to Order

We employ the Japanese notion of Kaizen in our roasting practice. This idea of “good change” or “continuous improvement” drives our team to keep daily records of their tastings, always chasing better, more delicious, more consistent coffees.

We roast small batches on Loring machines around the world, so our coffee tastes not only luminous, but reliably consistent, from Tokyo to New York.
