Coffee bean

The story of the coffee bean begins in legend — a seed carried across seas by a pilgrim named Baba Budan, who brought seven beans from Yemen to the Indian hills. In Coorg, those seeds found a home among mist, monsoon, and red earth — where forests breathe spice, and mornings begin with the sound of grinding beans. Here, coffee isn’t just a crop; it’s a rhythm of life — a shared ritual that runs through families, soil, and seasons. Yet its meaning travels beyond geography. Once used by Sufi mystics to stay awake in prayer, the bean has always symbolized awakening and endurance — stillness that carries energy, simplicity that transforms through heat. From Coorg’s shaded plantations to quiet corners of the world, it holds the same truth: that strength can be calm, that transformation begins in darkness, and that even the smallest seed can awaken something vast.
