Unfortunately in the East Coast it is only in MA. I am against anything that is very sweet, hence automatically I like it bitter with just a hint of sugar. As a vegetable, I love 'paagarkkaai'. And how is Starbucks Tazo Chai? Tried it?<br /><br />@TheUncanny-Kaapppiiii, it is. <Slurp> <Slurp> :-)RamNarayanShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01399693444460979865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918794022032698745.post-38682082739599139422010-02-18T06:47:40.296+05:302010-02-18T06:47:40.296+05:30Its not coffee....its kappppiiiiiiiii......My all ...Its not coffee....its kappppiiiiiiiii......My all time favorite is Ratna Cafe's filter kapppi.

I never drank much coffee while in India, bachelor life la Tea is the best companion.<br /><br />But after coming to US, only good thing available in my office is Coffee. Now slowly adicted to Starbucks, believe when I return to India I will be favoring coffee over tea.

Maybe the weather there is not conducive for coffee. Chikmagalur, Coorg are famous for their coffees here in Karnataka, TN is almost all tea-land, except for a few places. Kerala is all tea-land.<br /><br />@Swaram-Welcome to the Java club. :-) Nimmadhu yaavu brand?<br /><br />@Ramesh-:-D There are coffees sold here that are 50% coffee and 50% chicory. :-( There are 100% ground coffees here (no chicory), but somehow, they don't taste well. Used to go to shops where they grind fresh coffee, but laziness put an end to it. Chicory technically isn't bad though (courtesy Wikipedia). :-)<br /><br />@Srivats - Do they have Ragimalt still? :) That is a one of a kind taste. Boost and Horlicks are for kids.
