■The Chandra Hills are part of the Western Ghats and are said to be a treasure trove of biodiversity, with approximately 5,000 confirmed species of angiosperms and hundreds of animals living there.

The coffee is grown amongst shade trees that are unique to this region; indigenous trees are about 10 metres tall and only have leaves near the tops, and legume plants grow their leaves halfway up the trunks, providing double shade.

These two layers of shade prevent soil erosion from the strong seasonal rains and protect the soil from the rapid daytime temperature increases that are typical of this area, which is essential for the growth of Indian coffee.
