Our Heritage · Est. 1901
From Asia's First Planter.
Four Generations of Craft.
A legacy that began in Malaysia in 1901, took root in the mist-covered hills of Coorg and Sakleshpur, and now arrives at your door as South Indian filter coffee perfected across a century of family stewardship. What you taste is neither accidental nor marketed — it is earned.

The Founder
PPR Subramanian Chettiar —
Asia's First Planter
In 1901, at a moment when plantation ownership was the exclusive preserve of European colonial ventures, Mr. PPR Subramanian Chettiar established himself as among Asia's first Asian plantation owners in Malaysia. It was an act of remarkable audacity — and it began a hundred-year chain of custodianship over the land.
The family's roots were in South India, and the knowledge accumulated on those Malaysian estates travelled home to the Western Ghats. Skandapuri Plantations in Coorg became the next chapter: highland red-loam soil, elevation above 1,200 metres, morning mist and cool nights that slow cherry maturation and concentrate the sugars and acids that make Coorg Arabica so distinctive.
Four generations later, the family has never sold the land, never brought in outside investors, and never sourced beans from a broker. The estate is the product.
“We did not inherit a brand. We inherited a method. The brand followed.”
— Fourth-generation family note
Decade by Decade
One hundred and twenty years of
unbroken custody
Asia's First Planter
Mr. PPR Subramanian Chettiar becomes among Asia's first Asian plantation owners in Malaysia — pioneering estate coffee cultivation at a time when large-scale plantations were exclusively European ventures. A quiet act of sovereignty over the land.
Roots in the Western Ghats
The family brings the estate tradition home to India. Skandapuri Plantations takes root in Coorg — the Kodagu highlands of Karnataka, where elevation, mist, and red laterite soil create conditions that produce some of the finest Arabica in Asia.
Second & Third Generation
Two more generations deepen the family's knowledge of the land. Shade canopy management, seasonal harvest timing, and soil-composting practices are refined over decades of patient observation. Nothing is rushed.
Mother Mirra Coffee Plantations
The fourth generation formalises a century of craft into Mother Mirra Coffee Plantations, extending cultivation to Sakleshpur in the Hassan district of Karnataka — a second altitude estate in the Western Ghats corridor. Coorg and Sakleshpur together produce the two estate-lot blends at the heart of Mirras Coffee.
Zero-Chemical Certification
The estate achieves full chemical-free status. Compost from spent cherry pulp and shade-tree cuttings replaces all synthetic fertiliser. The soil improves measurably with each season — a legacy that compounds like interest.
Mirras Coffee — Estate to Cup
Four generations, two estates, zero middlemen. Every bag of Mirras Coffee is grown, processed, cup-tested, and dispatched from the same family's land that Mr. PPR Subramanian Chettiar first cultivated over a century ago. The chain is unbroken.
Our Estates
Two estates. One standard.
Skandapuri Plantations

Mirras Coffee supplies institutional clients across hospitality, technology, and media — FSSAI Certified, Coffee Board Certified, with batch-level traceability and lab reports on request.
What heritage means in the cup
A century of accumulated knowledge —
in every batch
Altitude Terroir
Cool nights at 1,200 m slow cherry maturation, concentrating sugars and chlorogenic acids. The result: a natural sweetness and floral complexity that cannot be replicated at lower elevations.
Shade-Grown
Silver oak and grevillea canopy regulates temperature and provides habitat for birds that suppress insect pressure — eliminating the need for pesticide response.
6-Hour Processing
Coffee cherry is processed within 6 hours of harvest. Quality degrades by the hour. We have run a processing unit on the estate for decades because we understand this window.
100% Cup-Tested
Every batch is cupped blind before it ships. Lots that fail are composted. They are not discounted and sold. A practice that has never changed in four generations.

Taste what a century
of patience produces.
Estate-direct from Coorg and Sakleshpur. No brokers, no auction floor, no blending with off-estate beans. Just the same family, the same land, and a cup that reflects both.
