New Orleans has a rich history as a major coffee port, with coffee being a significant import crop as early as the 1840s. The city's coffee culture is known for its dark roast coffee, often blended with chicory, which became popular during the Civil War when a Union blockade forced people to ration their coffee. The tradition of serving coffee with chicory continues today in New Orleans.
