The Story of Brown Tusk Coffee

It all began with 7 little coffee beans smuggled in the 16th century by a coffee loving Sufi saint, Baba Budan, present day Karnataka state in India who was on a pilgrimage to Mecca. The rest is history. Naturally shade grown, handpicked & sundried gourmet South Indian coffee – “The finest natural shade-grown ‘mild’ coffees in the world”. Our coffee is imported from the high altitude plantations of “Coorg” District situated on the sun-washed slopes of the Deccan Plateau in Karnataka State of Southern India. Apart from being the highest coffee-producing region in India, “Coorg” is known for its fertile black soil, tropical climate and abundant rainfall. Our coffee, when carefully roasted and savored is known for its smooth, low-acid, exotic taste and a fine aroma. India is the 6th largest coffee producer in the world! What Makes Peaberry Coffee So Special? A peaberry (also called caracol, or “snail” in Spanish) is a natural mutation of the coffee bean inside its cherry. Normally coffee beans grow two to a fruit, flat against each other like halves of a peanut, but a funny thing happens in about 5% of the world’s coffee, and a bean is born an only child.
