Farm Details:
Krishnagiri Estate is a coffee heritage gem located in the captivating Baba Budan Giri region of Chickmangalur, Karnataka. The estate is managed by Himakirthi and Karunya Gowda and covers 100 acres at an elevation of 1500 meters above sea level. The estate enjoys an abundant annual rainfall of 100 inches. Krishnagiri Estate is well-equipped with drying yards, a top-notch washing station, and a new color sorter. This allows them to process coffees as washed, honey sun-dried, and naturals. Arabica varieties such as S795 and Chandagiri thrive on the estate. The estate's origins can be traced back to the legendary journey of Baba Budan, who smuggled seven coffee beans from Yemen and ignited India's coffee journey.
