Our story
The story of Indian coffee
India's coffee story begins with a legend.
The legend
In the 17th century, the story goes, the Sufi saint Baba Budan returned from a pilgrimage to Mecca with seven coffee beans from the port of Mocha in Yemen, hidden in his beard.
The first planting
He planted them in the hills of Chikmagalur, in what is now Karnataka, and the hills still carry his name: Baba Budan Giri.
Karnataka today
Today, Karnataka grows most of India's coffee. Much of it comes from the hills of the Western Ghats, on the western edge of the Deccan Plateau, where it's traditionally grown in the shade of taller trees, often alongside spices such as cardamom, nutmeg and clove.
Mysore coffee
The name has history too. Before the 1940s, Indian Arabica was sold in Europe under its own name, "Mysore coffee", after the princely state of Mysore that once covered much of today's Karnataka. Our Mysore Rich is a nod to that heritage: a full-bodied cup with subtle nutty, spicy hints.
