Hadagu Bio Estate
Hadagu Bio Estate is located in Shanivarasanthe, Coorg, Karnataka, in India’s Western Ghats. The estate is managed by producer Jagadeesh and sits at approximately 1,050 metres above sea level.
The estate’s highland setting, seasonal rainfall, and biodiversity-rich landscape create favourable conditions for specialty coffee cultivation. At this elevation, coffee cherries mature more gradually, allowing sugars and flavour development to build through the growing season.
Coffee at Hadagu Bio Estate is grown in a shaded farm environment that reflects Coorg’s diverse agricultural landscape. The estate focuses on quality-led Arabica production, with careful attention given to cherry selection and post-harvest handling.
Jagadeesh takes a hands-on approach to production. Ripe cherries are selectively picked, then processed in controlled small lots. The estate’s known natural lots use native-yeast fermentation, followed by shade drying on raised beds. This careful approach is intended to preserve sweetness, clarity, and the distinctive character of the coffee.
Hadagu Bio Estate represents coffee shaped by Coorg’s high-altitude growing environment and a producer’s close attention to quality from harvest through processing.
