The epitome of Arabica and Robusta blend

I wouldn't feed Robusta to my pigs.
But its a favorite blend of indian coffee drinkers, especially when
adulterated with chicory.

Same thing goes for arabica and robusta no?
No. Testing the caffeine content (Robusta has almost twice that of
Arabica) is relatively easy compared to testing for Indian basmati
versus Pakistani basmati. Also, there is the taste test.

I'm a single origin arabica snob, but will admit that when making

pretty much single handedly responsible for the collapse of

My usual drink in Madras is Leo Top Blend (quite good, nice even roast with a

Lovely dark roast too, and pure coffee. None of that chicory
Chicory is actually great for keeping blood glucose down:-) but yes, Mysore
concerns has great coffee. let us know where you find it please!
