Do you know how coffee began in India?

The story goes like this: in 1670, an Indian pilgrim by the name Baba Budan passed through Yemen while returning from Mecca and smuggled out seven coffee seeds (illegally, as the export of coffee seeds was strictly controlled). Baba Budan then planted these seeds in the now known area of Chikmagular district of the Karnataka region, which set the stage for the cultivation of coffee in India. So significant were his actions that the hills in that area bears his name, Bababudangiri.

The family has been growing coffee since 1860 and the present members are their fifth and sixth generation coffee planters.
