Ngin Plantation is a single origin coffee sourced from a collection of the finest estates, high grown washed Arabica near to Hassan mill, nurtured since the 1870.s Most of these estates are cradled near Chikmagalur which adjoins the wooded Western Ghats mountain range. This region has been recognized as one of the 12 most eco-sensitive and bio-diverse zones on the planet. Growing 1250 meters above sea level , the coffee is sheltered by two mighty canopies of old jungle trees like Rosewood, White Ceder, Red Ceder, Ficus, Silver Oak etc., and a lower canopy of soft wood trees. Countless fresh water streams flow through the estates and off late, these estates have also become home to a population of wild elephants, with many being born in the coffee estate itself.
Each cherry in the estate is patiently handpicked by the spiritual masters of the land, the tribesmen. These people have absorbed every nuance and secret of their brothers and sisters in the woods, birds and plants. In their delicate hands, the plants unfurl the secrets of pure taste and flavor.
