Since 1998
The Experience
Enjoy traditional Coorg cuisine served on a beautiful brass thali right in the lap of nature. Whilst Coorg cuisine gets its influences from neighbouring regions, it has a culinary identity of its own. Being a agri-plantation society, the cuisine naturally comes from what the land supplies.
Pork is a predominant meat of the Coorg cuisine along with Chicken. On the vegetarian side the land offers Bamboo shoots, Butter beans and a general array of vegetables. Fresh condiments such a Turmeric, Ginger and spices like Cardamom, Pepper, Cloves, Cinnamon and many others lend thier flavors.
A unique and most distinguishing feature of Coorg cuisine is the use of a vinegar called Kachi Puli which is derived in a skillfull process from the Cambogia Garcenia fruit commonly called Kokum. This is a sour taste which adds a sense of intrigue to the dish and completely gives it an identity of its own there by resulting in a taste that is distinct and “Coorg”

About the Estate
Mercara Gold Estate is a beautiful 12-acre estate located 8 km from Madikeri. Whilst coffee was growing here since the 1960’s we acquired it in 1998 and began a process of transformation by organising it into a well laid out farm with a wide array coffee, spices and fruit trees. Our vision was to develop Mercara Gold Estate into a fully integrated unit, we began processing and roasting our coffees on the estate. We follow all time-tested processes with passion to produce our own range of boutique style coffee and well balanced blends. With our newest offering The World Coffee Museum, we have come full circle. We now give you a complete immersive experience of all things Coffee, along with a unique insight into the coffee cultures from around the world.
