Old Kent Estates is organising an immersive Crop To Cup – coffee workshop during the start of the Arabica coffee harvest season.

Discover how Coffee is cultivated in one of the country's oldest plantations, Old Kent Estates (www.oldkentestates.com). This coffee plantation, a heritage property established by a British planter in the 1800's, is spread over 200 acres of still flourishing coffee-bushes and pepper vines, surrounded by spectacular forested hills of Coorg, known as The Scotland of India.

The “Kent” variety of Arabica was one of the earliest cultivars of coffee that was once grown on the plantation, from which the property derives its name. Today, the carefully selected Arabica & Robusta bushes grow under the two-tier canopy of impressive rosewoods, silver oaks and cluster-fig trees, some of which have stood there for centuries. As an environmentally responsible enterprise, Old Kent Estates ensures that the fragile eco system is sustained and supported. The coffee is shade grown (bird friendly) and UTZ certified.

The coffee that is grown here is exported to Europe which has been recognized by the International Institute of Coffee Tasters (IIAS) in Italy, and has won a Gold Medal in an international cupping competition in the Espresso category. http://www.caffemoak.com/store/prodotto.php?id=49
