Coffee has long been an essential part of India’s agricultural and cultural heritage. Its journey in the country dates back to the 17th century, when the revered Sufi saint Baba Budan is said to have secretly carried seven coffee beans from Yemen and planted them in the hills of Chikkamagaluru, Karnataka. These hills, now known as the Baba Budan Giri range, mark the origin of Indian coffee cultivation.

Today, Karnataka produces nearly 70% of India’s coffee, with Kodagu (Coorg), Chikkamagaluru, and Hassan serving as the key growing belts. Kodagu alone contributes more than a third of the country’s total yield, earning it the moniker “Coffee Cup of India.” The region’s rolling terrain, fertile soil, and abundant monsoon rains make it particularly well-suited for both Arabica and Robusta crops.

Arabica, appreciated for its smooth flavour and pleasant aroma, flourishes in the higher altitudes of Chikkamagaluru and Hassan. Robusta, known for its stronger taste and higher caffeine levels, is largely cultivated in Kodagu’s lower elevations. Farmers often grow coffee alongside pepper, cardamom, and oranges, which not only maintain ecological balance but also provide additional income sources for local growers.

India’s shade-grown coffee is globally admired for its distinct taste, eco-friendly cultivation methods, and coexistence with forest habitats. The country exports coffee to over 100 nations, with Europe remaining the largest buyer.

Beyond its economic significance, coffee is deeply woven into Karnataka’s social and cultural fabric. From the traditional filter coffee enjoyed in households to international recognition through premium blends, Indian coffee continues to unite heritage, livelihood, and innovation—sustaining a legacy that began centuries ago in Karnataka’s mist-covered hills.
