The coffee blossom season in Karnataka is a vibrant spectacle to watch, but a fleeting experience much like the cherry blossom season in Japan. Its coffee trail runs from Coorg to Chikmagalur, and the landscape is transformed by white, almost jasmine-like blossoms that spread across estates, releasing a sweet perfume into the air. While these fragrant blooms last only a short time, their beauty leaves a lasting impression. Here are three resorts in Karnataka, where you can stroll through lush estates and witness the almost magical transformation of these blossoms turning into coffee berries.
Evolve Back Chikkana Halli Estate, Coorg
Staying at this resort in the middle of the coffee blossom season will help you experience almost 300 acres of a sea of delicate white blooms. During this brief, magical time, the resort transforms into a serene paradise, where luxury meets nature. The estate’s luxurious villas and infinity pools provide the perfect vantage point to soak in this breathtaking spectacle. I highly recommend strolling through this mist-laden paradise while indulging in a freshly brewed cup of estate-grown coffee.
The IBNII, Coorg
The IBNII, Coorg, is set on a serene, 120-acre former coffee estate in the hills of Madikeri, offering a calming retreat surrounded by lakes, mist, and lush greenery. Tucked amidst Coorg’s lush landscapes, The IBNII becomes a peaceful sanctuary during the coffee blossom season. Spanning 125 acres of mist-covered coffee plantations, the air is fragrant with the scent of blooming coffee flowers, signalling the beginning of the coffee cycle. This perfect blend of nature and luxury invites couples seeking romance or those wishing to unwind in tranquil surroundings.
The Serai Chikmagalur
At Serai Chikmagalur, the coffee blossom season brings an enchanting experience, offering guests a rare glimpse of nature’s beauty. Surrounded by vast coffee plantations, the resort enhances the magic of the season by blending luxury with the aromatic charm of blooming coffee trees. The resort’s serene atmosphere celebrates nature and luxury in harmony, making this time at The Serai unforgettable for nature and coffee enthusiasts alike.

WCAI Secretary Poornima Jairaj highlighted how farmers are expanding beyond cultivation into roasting, retail, and cafe ownership, bridging the gap from farm to cup.

Bengaluru :
From mocha pots to unique flavours like masala apple-flavoured coffee decoction, the seventh edition of ‘Coffee Santhe’ blended traditional coffee flavours with emerging coffee trends at Freedom Park over the weekend.
Organised by the Bengaluru-based Women’s Coffee Alliance – India (WCAI), the three-day event concluded on Sunday and featured stalls offering flavoured coffee powders, coffee beans from Coorg and Chikkamagaluru, floral-infused brews, and other specialty coffee products that have been gaining traction on social media.
The annual event is WCAI’s main fundraising initiative, aimed at supporting women working in coffee plantations. The funds raised go toward ongoing projects that focus on women and child healthcare, education for girls, nutrition support, skill development, and elder care. The funds help address both the physical and mental well-being of workers.
WCAI Secretary Poornima Jairaj highlighted how farmers are expanding beyond cultivation into roasting, retail, and cafe ownership, bridging the gap from farm to cup.
She also noted the growing trend of home brewing, with more consumers preferring freshly ground beans.
“To showcase this, multiple stalls at the event are dedicated to displaying coffee beans from various plantations, helping consumers understand the coffee brewing process,” she said.
The WCAI, on Sunday, also hosted finals of the Women Stars Brewer Championship featuring participants from coffee chains and home brewers across India, competing for the title of ‘Woman Coffee Brewing Star’ and the finals of the Robusta Brewing Skills Championship which aimed at showcasing the rich flavours of the Robusta bean.
Tricho Cards to protect crops without chemical pesticides
A stall by Krishi Sai Ekatha Private Limited displaying ‘Tricho Cards’ was the centre of attraction at the event. These eco-friendly cards, priced at Rs 200 each, are embedded with “Trichogramma” wasp eggs – a natural pest control solution. Trichogramma are tiny, beneficial insects that destroy the eggs of harmful crop pests like caterpillars and borers before they hatch

This NGO is helping participants understand areas of mental health like communication, empathy, inter-personal relationships and more.
As part of the annual mental health awareness campaign, participants paint the walls of The Wheel Cafe in Madikeri
Bengaluru :
Every alternate Sunday morning, a group of individuals gather in the tranquil embrace of Cubbon Park, Bengaluru, for a unique mental health session called ‘Sundays for Mental Health’, organised by a Kodagu-based NGO Mind and Matter.
As the gentle breeze sets the stage, participants attend the event not just to meet, but to connect. Through a variety of carefully curated games, activities, paintings, etc, the NGO assist the participants to understand areas of different mental health such as communication, empathy, inter-personal relationships and more. In case someone comes up to them with a serious problem, the NGO refers it to mental health professionals.
Venkatesh, a chartered accountant who attended the event on Sunday, said, “There’s unmistakable warmth here. It helped me a lot. The session has given me a chance to look into my soul. It helped me understand myself much better.”
Another participant, Somnath, said, “This is my second campaign with Mind and Matters, and I understood how to look at the same situation from a different perspective.”
In a world where problems related to mental health often take a backseat, Mind and Matter stands as a beacon of hope, offering support to individuals in need. The NGO has stepped into the fray with free programmes which it organises in Bengaluru, Mysuru and Kodagu, and plans to expand to cities like Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai as well. It aims to break the stigma around mental health with a short yet moderate plan under expert guidance, a holistic approach and compassionate care.
Trustee and founder of Mind and Matter Deepika Appaiah said, “We work with schools, colleges, parents and teachers. Our initiative has impacted about 13,000 children and over 700 parents and teachers. Our organisation is run by volunteers, so we invite people to join us and provide them training from the Department of Psychiatric Social Work, Nimhans, in Bengaluru.
As of now, we have 150 volunteers.” From housewives to working professionals, the numbers joining the initiative are only growing. Registered in 2021, Mind and Matter has collaborated with Nimhans and is witnessing a spike in enrolment.
Mental health programme in schools in Mysuru
Dr Aravind Raj, Department of Psychiatric Social Work of Nimhans, and one of the pioneers of the initiative, said, “Mental health professionals are often confined to hospitals, where stigma deters people from seeking help. It is one of the reasons to take mental health initiatives outside hospitals.” He stressed the need for more awareness campaigns in society.
Mental health includes different methods of handling situations: understanding one’s potential, dealing with stress in a positive way, being productive and contributing to society. “Our motto is to promote all these among people, so their vulnerability to developing mental disorders comes down,” he said.
According to several reports, it has been identified that rural residents have inadequate mental health knowledge, tied to entrenched stigma and low literacy. In urban areas, people are grappling with work stress, especially Bengaluru’s techies. Dr Raj said Mind and Matter wants to penetrate that area and make them recognise the importance of mental well-being. “We also train Anganwadi workers and teachers and provide care in rural areas,” he added.
Mental illness affects 8% of population
According to the 2015–2016 National Mental Health Survey (NMHS), conducted by Nimhans and considered one of the best benchmarks, 8 per cent of Karnataka’s population, which is 1 out of 12 people, suffers from mental illnesses and requires care. Dr Raj and Appaiah say this is primarily because of a lack of awareness.
“The kind of transformation I have witnessed in people drives me to continue this work. Over time, I understood after attending the programmes we organise, that people feel it is okay to ask for help,” she noted. “If the initiative had never worked, people wouldn’t come back to us. More importantly, there is no monetary benefit involved, which means it has personally impacted me,” Appaiah said, a smile on her face. “I believe my family is my biggest support, and thank my entire team for their contribution.”
While the NGO is run for a noble cause, Appaiah says that sometimes, it is difficult to continue the initiative on such a large scale if there isn’t enough financial support. Appaiah, who also runs a café in Coorg, said it provides support. “We don’t go out to ask for donations. People who have worked with us donate money. The café is an extension of whatever we do here. However, now we are trying to collect funds from corporates or through CSR activities,” she said. Dr Raj also stressed that resource management is important.

The month-long ‘Kodava Hockey Namme’, popularly known as Coorg’s hockey festival, is set to begin on March 28 in Madikeri and the household of the Muddandas – the host family for this year – is eager to make it grander than ever as it is the 25th edition of the tournament.

Bengaluru:
A sense of excitement is brewing in the coffee land of Kodagu as the hilly region prepares for its annual celebration of a sport close to the hearts of Kodavas.
The month-long ‘Kodava Hockey Namme’, popularly known as Coorg’s hockey festival, is set to begin on March 28 in Madikeri and the household of the Muddandas – the host family for this year – is eager to make it grander than ever as it is the 25th edition of the tournament.
And to mark this milestone, a 5-a-side all-women competition is being introduced in addition to the customary 11-a-side event.
“This year being the silver jubilee, we wanted to add more to the festival and came up with this idea,” Rashin Subbaiah, president of the tournament and member of the host family, told DH.
“We observed that many young girls were interested in taking part. Though there has never been age or gender restriction, many women/ girls were reluctant to get onto the field. So we thought about introducing an exclusive all-women event to put them under the spotlight,” explained Subbaiah.
Undoubtedly, the response so far has been overwhelming as the organisers have already received entries from 37 teams for the 5s event. Those numbers are expected to cross 50 before the entry date closes on April 10.
“The all-women’s 5s will begin in the last week of the festival with its final on April 26 when the main event has its semifinals scheduled. We planned this strategically because spectators come in big numbers to witness the final few days of the hockey extravaganza,” said Vikram Uthappa, another member of the organising committee.
The no age/ gender bar tournament which began in 1997 with 60 teams, swelled to 360 in 2024 and will feature 396 squads on three grounds – two at the Field Marshal KM Cariappa College and one at the Police Grounds – this summer. Last year, 92-year-old Chittiappa, who made news as the oldest participant, will be seen in action for his team – Annadiyanda family – in this edition as well.
Traditionally, the mixed-team tournament has had female participants playing with and against their male counterparts in the 11-a-side event. Former junior India women players – goalkeeper Shivachaliyanda Nilan, Mallamada N Ponnamma, Mallamada Leelavathi among others – from the region have been a part of the festival.
A female participant, this year, can play in the 11s team and also turn out for a 5s squad as well. However, picking a team to play for in the 5s competition could be a bit of a quandary for a few.
While the choice of family to represent will be a no-brainer for the unmarried girls, the married women, however, will have to decide between her ‘Thamane’ (father’s house) and ‘Bakemane’ (husband’s house).
Irrespective of one’s choice, there will be one more reason to celebrate both women and hockey in the Kodava land come April.

Coffee Board warns that macro climate is crucial for cultivation and economic profit .

The record prices that coffee hit this year have spurred interest in its cultivation in newer destinations outside of the traditional coffee growing belt in Karnataka such as Kodagu and Chikmagalur. Coffee plant nurseries are reporting that they are getting queries from Tumakuru, Chitradurga, Palakkad and Hosur.
Vishnu Ponnanna from Mookambika Nursery in Virajpet, Kodagu district, said while there is higher interest from H.D. Kote and Mysuru, from where there were queries earlier too, now, he is getting queries from Tumakuru, parts of Chitradurga and even Hosur in Tamil Nadu.
Subhash Chandra from Ganapathy Nursery in Suntikoppa, north Kodagu, said he has received a large number of queries from Ballari, Davangere, Chitradurga, Tumakuru, Dharmapuri in Tamil Nadu and Palakkad and Idukki in Kerala as well.
Asked if it is viable, Mr. Ponnanna said, “Just like apple is now being grown in places other than their traditional growing areas, coffee too can be grown, provided the growers create the atmosphere required for the plant – such as shade and irrigation.”
Mr. Subhash Chandra said it’s not impossible to grow coffee in other places, but the yield will be lower. “I even had a customer from Kolkata who managed to grow the plant. But their yield will be half or lesser,” he said.
Record prices
Coffee prices in India hit record prices this year buoyed by a fall in global production, especially in Brazil and Vietnam. At the same time, erratic climatic conditions in India, especially in Karnataka, have also resulted in reduced yield.
K.G. Jagadeesha, CEO and Secretary, Coffee Board of India, told The Hindu that the post-harvest estimate for last year is going on, but the final estimate may be around 3.45 lakh metric tonnes, which is a good yield.
“It was a successful year for farmers. There was 10-15% loss, which was caused by natural vagaries such as high temperature in the beginning of the year followed by heavy rainfall. But the prices doubled, so it offset this loss. In case of Arabica, the prices are double and for robusta, more than double,” Mr. Jagadeesha explained.

He further said that as per the cumulative indicator price (ICO Composite Indicator Price, or I-CIP), which is an average of all categories, it was 167 cents/lb (pound) last year, and this year, it is 261 cents/lb.
“The base price itself was very high upon which we have grown. Robusta, which was 130 cents/lb, is now 223 cents/lb, and Arabica was 202 cents/lb, which is now 291 cents/lb,” he added.
Forecast for this year
This year too, the forecast is good for growers, said Mr. Jagadeesha adding, “We have received some rains already and because of the good prices last year, planters have taken care of plants this year and done some irrigation by themselves as well. We will start the post-blossom estimate now, but the forecast for this year is good. According to the experts, Brazil and Vietnam may not come back to their original production this year as well.”
‘Don’t get carried away’
Mr. Jagadeesha warned non-coffee growing belts against getting carried away. “We promote coffee where our scientific personnel recommend. We don’t recommend any place that is sub-optimal or ideal. Some farmers are growing coffee by creating a microenvironment. In the long run, we don’t know if it’ll be profitable in that area,” he said.
“When the Coffee Board recommends, it should be doable even for the average farmer. Coffee investment is for 30-40 years. So we can’t base it on one or two special cases. Requests have come from Chitradurga, Uttara Kannada, and Shivamogga. Even 30-40 years ago, even in Kolar, people tried to grow but didn’t succeed. Even at the coffee board (in Bengaluru), we have planted some coffee trees and we get berries once in a few years. It can be considered economically profitable only if there’s income over a long period. To prove that, we go only when the macro climate indicators are ideal: average temperature, rainfall, etc. Coffee cannot be grown where elevation is less than 500 metres,” he said.
In these areas, the temperature is higher than that in the Western Ghats, rainfall is lesser and there is no proper drainage in case of high rainfall in a short period. Shade is also very important, he further said.
“If a farmer has taken all this into account and is growing coffee, we are neutral; we won’t discourage them. Coffee cultivation is deregulated, so anyone can grow coffee. We are not averse, but we won’t recommend it unless we are confident that an average farmer can also grow it. These areas according to us are not suitable. If people are getting carried away by the high prices or one or two farmers want to grow it, they can do so at their own risk,” said Mr. Jagadeesha.

Virajpet’s historic clock tower, a prominent landmark in Kodagu, turns 111 today (Feb. 5, 2025). Built to commemorate the 1911 Coronation Durbar of King George V, its foundation stone was laid on Feb. 5, 1914, by Sir Hugh Daly, then Chief Commissioner of Kodagu.
The Mukkatira family of Devanageri village donated the land and the tower was inaugurated in Jan. 1915 by District Magistrate R.K. Ellis. It was later handed over to the Town Municipal Council (TMC) by Mukkatira Ayyappa.
In 1977, the tower faced a demolition threat under a road widening proposal by then PWD Minister Chennabasappa. However, public opposition saved it, preserving its legacy as a symbol of Virajpet’s heritage.
