The History of Coffee (Ref.Link-You Tube :Explore Mode)
Coffee is one of the important beverage
crops of the world. Coffee is prepared from the seeds of the fruit obtained
from the plant. The plant is 3-6 meters in height. It is the native to the
highlands of southern Ethiopia. Its name has been derived from the highland
district of Kaffa, where it was originally grown. From here, it was taken to
Yemen, on the south western parts of Arabia by the Arab traders and was grown
at Mocha in 575 AD. Later from Arabia, coffee plants were taken to other parts
of the world, where they were successfully grown. Today, many countries have
become major producers of coffee. Coffee has come up as a popular drink for the
people across the world.
Coffee
is the tropical plant. It can grow in the region around the equator due to
tropical climate. This region includes Central America, Northern South America,
Africa and Middle East, India and Indonesia. Coffee plants need warm climate
and a moderate supply of moisture for its growth.
Coffee
came to India well before the East India Company, through an India Sufi saint
named "Baba Budan".The first record of coffee growing in India is
following the introduction of coffee beans from Yemen by Baba Budan to the
hills of Chikmagalur, Karnataka in 1670. Since then coffee plantations have
become established in the region, extending south to Kodagu District (also known by its
former name Coorg).
Coffee
production in India is dominated in the hill tracts of South Indian states;
with the state of Karnataka accounting 53% followed by Kerala 28% and Tamil
Nadu 11% of production of 8,200 tones. Indian coffee is said to be the finest
coffee grown in the shade rather than direct sunlight anywhere in the world.
There are approximately 250,000 coffee growers in India; 98% of them are small
growers. As of 2009, the production of coffee in India was only 4.5% of the
total production in the world. Almost 80% of the country's coffee production is
exported. Of that which is exported, 70% is bound for Germany, Russian
federation, Spain, Belgium, Slovenia, United States, Japan, Greece, Netherlands
and France, and Italy accounts for 29% of the exports. Most of the export is shipped
through the Suez Canal.
Coffee
is grown in three regions of India with Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu
forming the traditional coffee growing region of South India, followed by the
new areas developed in the non-traditional areas of Andhra Pradesh and Orissa
in the eastern coast of the country and with a third region comprising the
states of Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura, Nagaland and Arunachal
Pradesh of Northeastern India, popularly known as "Seven Sister States of
India".
Indian coffee, grown mostly in southern India under monsoon rainfall conditions, is also termed as "Indian monsooned coffee". Its flavour is defined as: "The best Indian coffee reaches the flavour characteristics of Pacific coffees, but at its worst it is simply bland and uninspiring".The two well-known species of coffee grown are the Arabica and Robusta. The first variety that was introduced in the Baba Budan Giri hill ranges of Karnataka in the 17th century was marketed over the years under the brand names of Kent and S.795. Coffee is prepared in a distinctive drip style "filter coffee" in the South of India by small restaurants and small chains like MTR's, Narasu's, etc. Recently, larger coffee outlet chains like Coffee Day and Starbucks have been opening up in larger cities and towns.

Coffee is the cornerstone of Chikmagalur's economy. Chikmagalur is the birthplace of coffee in India, where the seed was first sown about 350 years ago. Coffee Board is the department located in Chikmagalur town that oversees the production and marketing of coffee cultivated in the district. Coffee is cultivated in Chikmagalur district in an area of around 85,465 hectares with Arabica being the dominant variety grown in upper hills and Robusta being the major variety in the low level hills.
There
are around 15000 coffee growers in this district with 96% of them being small
growers with holdings of less than or equal to 4 hectares. The average
production is 55,000 MT: 35,000 MT of Arabica and 20,000 MT of Robusta. The
average productivity per hectare is 810 kg for Arabica and 1110 kg of Robusta,
which are higher than the national average.
Coffea
arabica (Arabica) is a species of coffee that is also known as the "coffee
shrub of Arabia", "mountain coffee" or "arabica
coffee". Coffea arabica is believed to be the first species of coffee to
be cultivated, being grown in southwest Arabia for well over 1,000 years. It is
considered to produce better coffee than the other major commercially grown
coffee species,
Coffea canephora (Robusta). Arabica contains less caffeine than any other commercially cultivated species of coffee. Robusta is a species of coffee which has its origins in western Africa. It is grown mostly in Africa and Brazil, where it is often called Conillon. It is also grown in Southeast Asia where French colonists introduced it in the late 19th century. In recent years Vietnam, which only produces robusta, has surpassed Brazil, India, and Indonesia to become the world's single largest exporter. Approximately one third of the coffee produced in the world is robusta.
Oldest Stamp on Coffee: On Feb. 5, 1928, Brazil issued a set of three stamps (Scott 290-292) in Green, Red and Black Colour; to commemorate the bicentennial of the introduction of coffee is considered to be first stamp released on coffee. In 1727 Francisco de Mello Palheta introduced coffee to Brazil from French Guiana.
