More than 150 years on the land

Before coffee, there was cardamom.

Kuchally’s family story in plantation agriculture began with cardamom more than 150 years ago. Coffee came later. Today it grows with pepper, cardamom and fruit trees, continuing that layered agricultural story rather than replacing it.

At 950–1,050 metres, with around 90 inches of rain each year, the estate does not behave as one uniform plot. Every field holds a different expression of canopy, cultivation and time.
