Coorg Estate Growers
Coorg (Kodagu), Karnataka
Family-run estates growing coffee under a canopy of native shade trees, a method that's slower and lower-yield than sun cultivation but has been the Coorg region's tradition for well over a century.

Grows coffee under the same shade trees his grandfather planted, refusing to clear them for higher-yield sun cultivation.
“Those trees are older than the estate's paperwork. I'm not cutting them for a bigger harvest.”
