New country for coffee

This is from Germany. To be clear, Germany does not produce coffee beans. These are Arabica beans procured from Central America and South America. And then, roasted in Germany. This is their Espresso 57 Dark Roast variety.

I liked the taste. Lower in acidity and fuller-bodied.

Tried this “Kaapi” beans

Bought this coffee bean packet from the Indian coffee place that goes by the same name in Atlanta. Ground it and then did the normal “filter kaapi” process. Did not come out as well. I now realize that the distinct flavor and aroma comes from the chicory that is added to coffee beans in the traditional South Indian coffee.
