SANGAMESHWAR COFFEE ESTATES

Sangameshwar Coffee Estates was founded in 1957 by K.S. Vaidyanathan, a stock-broker in Madras. The company and estates are now being led by third-generation coffee planters Mr.S. Appadurai and Mrs Hamsini Appadurai. The duo work together as a team in taking the vision of their beloved founder forward. They believe, its not just about coffee but more about a passion to be guardians of the land, an adventurous spirit and a commitment to quality and sustainability that has been passed down generations.
