Bettadakhan Estate is located on the northern slopes of the Baba Budan Giri Hills, the region where coffee was first planted in India back in the 1670’s. The region is named after Baba Budan who, according to legend, smuggled seven coffee seeds out of Yemen and planted them in India. This propagated the spread of coffee beyond Arabia to the rest of the world. Recent genetic testing of global coffee varieties, shows that many beans in Africa, Latin America,and Indonesia trace their lineage to beans from India.

Jacob Mammen manages this estate. His family has grown coffee here for three generations. In 2018, this farm won regional Best Arabica at the Flavor of India/Fine Cup cupping competition held each year during the European Specialty Coffee Expo.

The Mammen family also owns Kerkeicoondah Estate.
