The EsTate : Baarbara Estate

Started in 1896, Baarbara Estate has been one of the few estates at the forefront of the coffee movement in India. Legends say that in the 16th century, the Sufi mystic Baba Budan secretly brought seven coffee beans from Yemen. He planted the beans on the rolling slopes of the hills that now bear his name and came to be known as the birthplace of coffee in India. For coffee connoisseurs, this land is mystical and is revered as the cradle of Indian coffee cultivation. Located within this rich bionetwork of the Bababudangiri Range in Chikkamaglur, Karnataka, Baarbara Estate provides the ultimate farm-to-cup coffee experience to coffee connoisseurs. The dampness of the unscathed mists of the Western Ghats, the 5000-foot elevation of the mountains, and the fertility of the soil nourish the lush vegetation that produces Arabica beans, which are renowned as being among the highest quality worldwide. (1)
