India is the only country that grows all of its coffee under the canopy of native trees, there by preserving the local ecosystem and maintaining its biodiversity. “Shade grown coffee” plantations harbor a diversity of plants, insects, and animals that make up the ecologically sensitive Western Ghats region. Balur estate is nestled on the slopes of the Western Ghats at over 3200-3500 feet elevation. The estate produces quality Arabica and Robusta coffee along with other crops like pepper, cocoa, nutmeg and cardamom.
