The Yellikodige Estate covers 61 hectares at an altitude of 1,150 mtrs. in the Aldur region of Chikmagalurs, in the Karnataka district of India. The estate is more than a century old, and the farm's founder C.H. Godfrey sent coffee directly from the farm to London during colonial times. Ornithologist and environmentalist, K.R. Sethna purchased the property in 1973 and with this expert background converted the property completely to organic farming within about 15 years.

The current owners, Ramesh Rao and Dinakar Rao, continue this method of cultivation with great success. The coffee plants grow naturally, without the addition of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. All plants are fertilized with natural animal manure. But also the fertilizer from neem cake (the miracle tree of India) and the mulched leaves contribute to the quality of the coffee. As is (still) usual in India, the coffee bushes grow surrounded by the numerous shade trees. Weeding is done manually and the "coffee seed borer" and other harmful insects are kept away from the trees with neem oil spray.

The farm is certified by the I.M.O. Organization regarding organic cultivation and certification. The further processing like washing, drying and the peeling of the coffee cherries as well as the exportable processing of the green coffee beans is carried out by the also certified "Kotordie Curing".

Mondo del Caffè - Fair Trade!

In search of the best specialty coffees and rarities in the world, we also travel outside our home country for you. Our unique project coffees come from India, Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador and Ethiopia, among others. From these and other countries we trade our green coffee completely without middlemen and pay fair prices to the families who manage the plantations (about 2 - 3 times the current world market price). The result is that the families can live from the cultivation of the coffee. Also, the overall quality increases because the farmers are able to invest in the structure of the farms. This results in very special coffees with character and background.

Mondo del Caffè - the special coffee experience!

Since 1999 we have been roasting selected coffees in our own roastery. There we ensure the best freshness and quality - always with the goal of fulfilling your wishes in mind. With exquisite coffees from different countries of the world, we make your coffee enjoyment a very special experience. We roast only the highest quality green coffees according to our proven concept: The still green coffee beans are roasted at low temperature in a drum roaster.
