Speciality Coffee Beans, Karnataka India, AAA Grade

Speciality Coffee Beans-Limited Release. Baba BudanGiri, Karnataka India AAA Grade. THE AMAZING INSPIRATIONAL BABA BUDAN STORY: Coffee growing in India started with an Indian Muslim saint, Baba Budan. When returning from a pilgrimage to Mecca, smuggled seven coffee beans (by hiding them in his beard) from Yemen to Mysore in India. He planted them on the Chandra Drona Giri (means hill @ 1,829 metres) in Chikkamagaluru district. It was considered an illegal act to take green coffee seeds out of Arabia. As number seven is a sacrosanct number in Islamic religion, the saint's act of carrying seven coffee beans was considered a religious act. This was the beginning of coffee industry in the Karnataka State, India. This was an achievement of considerable bravery of Baba Budan. Systematic cultivation soon followed Baba Budan's first planting of the seeds, in 1670, mostly by private native Indian owners and the first plantation was established in 1840 around Baba Budan Giri and its surrounding hills in Karnataka.
