WELCOME TO FILTER

A SMALL CAFE, WITH A BIG HEART.

What is Filter Kaapi?

Filter Kaapi is a traditional South Indian coffee, Cherished for its bold flavor, rich aroma, and velvety smooth texture. More than just a beverage, it’s a cultural ritual and a staple in South Indian households.

Our Filter Kaapi blend features an 80:20 ratio of dark-roasted coffee beans to chicory, delivering the perfect balance of robust flavor and full-bodied richness. We work directly with coffee farmers in the southern regions of India, ensuring the finest quality beans while supporting sustainable farming practices.

What is Chai?

Chai is the Hindi word for "tea", originating from the Chinese word "cha". However, when people refer to "chai" in a global context, they usually mean masala chai, a traditional Indian spiced tea.

Masala chai is made by brewing black tea leaves (like Assam) with a combination of aromatic spices, milk, and sweetener. The flavor profile is rich, bold, and fragrant.

At Filter, we craft our signature chai blend in-house, sourcing the finest ingredients directly from trusted farms. Our chai features robust Assam tea, aromatic Guatemalan cardamom, fragrant Indian cinnamon, and zesty British ginger, ensuring a rich and perfectly balanced flavor in every sip.
