This isn't just a "plantation tour". Of course we'll share some details about the growing of coffee itself, but more importantly, how it connects with a region that's a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its biodiversity, and the catchment of major, life sustaining rivers.

Lunch at 1pm, a walk around the estate, to the Cauvery, through paddy fields. Then coffee, and conversation around any more questions you might have.

Your host is Shubha, or Sameer, who've had this farm for 16 years now and learned, as novices, much about the place as we've tried, failed, learned. We sometimes travel to Bangalore, so do block this in advance and let us know if you're planning this. We're happy to do this for 2 people or more.
