The journey of Indian coffee originates from a fairy tale in an interesting and unique journey made by a Sufi saint, Baba Budan, from India over 400 years ago, while on a pilgrimage to Mecca. He made this ‘now famous’ journey from Mocha, a port city of Yemen that overlooks the Red Sea, to his homeland. Besides being a trading hub for coffee, it was the source of the popular Mocha coffee beans. Baba Budan discovered coffee in the form of a dark and sweet liquid called Qahwah on the way. As he found the drink to be quite refreshing, he decided to bring it back home; and secretly brought back seven coffee beans from Mocha by strapping them to his chest (since the Arabs were extremely protective about their coffee industry). He planted these beans in Chikmagalur, in Karnataka, which was the real genesis of the Indian coffee industry.

The hills where he planted these beans are now named Baba Budan Hills.

The wonders of Chikmagalur are unlimited. From Mythological times, the BabaBudan range was known as Chandradrona Parvatha. Sufi Saint Bababudan in 1600 A.D after piligrimage to mecca visited Yemen, where he felt the magic of Coffee and bought seven Coffee seeds hidden in his robes, and planted on mountain slopes of Chikmagalur.
