☕ Coorg's Coffee Heritage

Coorg, often called the "Coffee Capital of India," is renowned for its world-class coffee plantations that produce some of the finest Arabica and Robusta coffee beans. The region's unique climate, altitude, and soil conditions create the perfect environment for coffee cultivation.

Coffee plantations in Coorg are not just agricultural estates; they are living museums of coffee culture, offering visitors an immersive experience into the world of coffee production, from bean to cup. The plantations are surrounded by lush greenery, spice gardens, and offer breathtaking views of the Western Ghats.

📜 Historical Background & Coffee Culture

Coffee cultivation in Coorg began in the 17th century when the British introduced coffee plants to the region. The Kodava people, indigenous to Coorg, quickly adopted coffee farming and developed sophisticated techniques for cultivation and processing.

Today, Coorg produces over 40% of India's coffee and is known for its distinctive flavor profile characterized by mild acidity, medium body, and aromatic notes. The coffee estates have become integral to Coorg's cultural identity and economy.
