Our Heritage
In 1901, Mr. PPR. Subramanian Chettiar established the first Asian-owned plantation in Gelang Patah, Malacca — a landmark in the history of Southeast Asian agriculture. He also founded the Tamil newspaper Virakesari in 1930. Four generations later, that pioneering spirit lives in every cup of Mirras Coffee, grown across Coorg and Sakleshpur in Karnataka.

Flavour Profiles
Three very different teas. Each shaped by the same estate — altitude, soil, season — but distinguished by processing. Understand what makes each cup its own.
Coffee Guide
Good coffee is ruined more often by water temperature and careless timing than by bean quality. Five styles, five personalities — each with its own temperature, ratio, and technique.
Mix 1 part decoction to 3 parts hot boiled whole milk for a classic South Indian kaapi. Jaggery instead of sugar adds a pleasant molasses note.
Select a brew style and number of cups — we’ll give you exact quantities.
Full-fat milk: 300ml — add after initial water steep. Total liquid per cup ≈ 270ml.

From the Estate
The estate in every season — harvest, process, pack, and the people who make it possible.
Origin
Mirras Estate sits at 1,200 metres on the Western Ghats in Coorg — India's premier coffee-growing region, with year-round mist and rich laterite soil.
At 1,200 metres on the Western Ghats, Mirras Estate benefits from Coorg's reliable monsoon and cool dry winters. The result: slow cherry ripening, dense bean development, and the clean sweetness that specialty buyers source us specifically for.
Global Export
Four generations of South Indian filter coffee expertise — shipping Arabica and Robusta directly from our Coorg and Sakleshpur estates. No auction, no broker, no blending.
Domestic supply to bulk buyers, specialty roasters, and D2C customers across India. B2B clients include specialty cafés across Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi, as well as independent HORECA partners.
Our longest-running export corridor, active since 1999. Coorg Arabica is prized in both markets for its clean acidity, chocolatey body, and natural sweetness.
A growing corridor driven by the South Asian diaspora and a rising café culture. Duty-paid bulk and retail pack options available. Qatar and UAE ship regularly; Kuwait added 2022.
Specialty coffee buyers in the UK and Germany have shown strong interest in single-estate Coorg Arabica. First commercial shipment in trial planning.
The US specialty coffee market is one of the fastest-growing in the world. We are working through APEDA certifications and importer conversations for a 2025 launch.
Australian specialty roasters have expressed interest in our green-bean and washed Arabica lines. Regulatory approvals under review.

Science of the cup
At 1,800m, slower growth concentrates the compounds that make tea genuinely good for you. The published science explains why.
Chlorogenic acids — the primary antioxidants in coffee — are linked to improved insulin sensitivity, reduced blood glucose, and lower risk of Type 2 diabetes. Large cohort studies also associate regular coffee consumption with reduced incidence of liver cirrhosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry; European Journal of Epidemiology
The chicory in Mirras filter blends contains inulin, a prebiotic fibre that feeds beneficial gut bacteria (Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium). Regular inulin intake is linked to improved gut microbiome diversity, reduced inflammation, and better digestive regularity.
British Journal of Nutrition; Food Hydrocolloids
Coffee caffeine is naturally bound to the bean matrix and absorbed more gradually than caffeine supplements — providing sustained cognitive focus without sharp crashes. Studies consistently show a 3–11% increase in metabolic rate with regular moderate consumption.
British Journal of Nutrition; American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Beyond chlorogenic acid, coffee contains diverse polyphenols — ferulic acid, caffeic acid, and quinines — linked to anti-inflammatory properties. Estate-grown Arabica from Western Ghats elevations (900–1,300m) contains a richer polyphenol profile than low-altitude commodity coffee.
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition; Food Chemistry
Multiple large observational studies have found an inverse correlation between regular coffee consumption and Parkinson's disease incidence. The suspected mechanism involves caffeine's action on adenosine A2A receptors, which modulate dopaminergic neurons. Three to four cups per day is the most-studied range.
Journal of the American Medical Association; Annals of Neurology
Estate Impact
A century of coffee farming teaches you that quality and responsibility are inseparable. Mirras Coffee has grown through four generations not by chasing volume, but by treating land, workers, and customers with equal respect. From the paddy fields of Malacca to the highlands of Coorg and Sakleshpur, the family's operating principle has never changed: grow exceptional coffee, share the reward fairly, and never cut corners on quality.

From Mr. PPR. Subramanian Chettiar's plantations in Malaysia (1901) to Skandapuri in Coorg to Mother Mirra Coffee Plantations (2005) and today's retail brand — every generation has deepened the commitment. This is not a startup. It is a century of earned knowledge.
Mirras Coffee supplies ITC Hotels, Taj Hotels, Marriott, Le Meridien, Infosys, Ford, and Sun TV. The same quality that institutional kitchens rely on — roughly 75% of Tamil Nadu's institutional market — is what arrives at your door. No separate retail grade. One standard.
Over 50 years of brewing South Indian filter coffee. The coffee+chicory blend ratios, the Kumbakonam degree coffee recipes, the roast profiles for filter decoction — these are not experiments. They are inherited knowledge, refined across generations, now available direct to you.
