History & Origin of Coffee in India

The history (and origin) of coffee in India dates back to around 1600 AD, when the Indian Sufi saint, Baba Budan, went on a pilgrimage to Mecca. He made his 'legendary' journey from Mocha, a port city of Yemen that overlooks the Red Sea, to his homeland.

Besides being a trading hub for coffee, Mocha was the source of the popular Mocha coffee beans. Baba Budan discovered coffee in the form of a dark and sweet liquid called Qahwa1 on the way. He found the drink refreshing 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.

Origin of Coffee in India

Baba Budan's Courtyard in Chikmagalur – The Birthplace & Origin of Coffee in India 
After returning from his pilgrimage, Baba Budan planted the Seven Seeds of Mocha1 in the courtyard of his hermitage in Chikmagalur, Karnataka – the birthplace and origin of coffee in India. The coffee plants gradually spread as backyard plantings, and later on to the hills of what is now known as Baba Budan Hills.

Here are few types of Coffee

Cappuccino

Almost all coffee shops today serve its patrons with cappuccino. A good cappuccino is made with equal parts of espresso and equal parts of steamed milk, with a little bit of milk froth on top. You might be served with a cappuccino cup that is sprinkled with a bit of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings as garnish 

Latte

A latte is made much like the way a cappuccino is, but instead of equal parts of milk and espresso, a latte consists of one part of espresso to three parts of steamed milk. If you like to dip your cookies in a milk-based drink, a latte works wonderfully for the purpose. You must have also noticed beautiful art in cups of coffee; that art is known as latte art which is a form of drawing that is done on the foam in your cup of latte. 

Irish Coffee

Irish coffee is traditionally made by adding whiskey to sweetened hot coffee and topping it off with a thick layer of fresh cream.

Indian Filter Coffee

Filter coffee is the south Indian way of coffee preparation which is quite popular throughout the country. It is made by brewing finely ground coffee powder in a traditional south Indian filter. Sugar and frothy boiled milk is added to the brewed coffee. It is much sweeter than Italian coffee types.

Instant Coffee

This is by far the most popular and widely drunk type of coffee in India. It is made of soluble coffee powder that is prepared from brewed coffee beans. It is not as flavourful as freshly brewed coffee right from the beans, but it makes a good cup nonetheless. It is made by mixing a spoon of coffee powder to hot water or milk, and adding sugar to taste.
