Originally a British plantation, Merthi Subbangudigy (more easily referred to as “M.S. Estate”) has been part of the Balanoor Plantations (owned by the Kuriyan family) since the 1930’s. Today, the estate is run by the fourth and fifth generation of the family, Ashok and his son Rohan.
Located in the Chikmagalur growing district, this farm has long supplied Josuma with washed Arabica. A sibling estate (Yelemadlu) supplies us with some of our best lots of washed Robusta (Kaapi Royale and Parchment-AB).
