Mercara Gold Estate is a beautiful 12-acre estate located 8 KM from Madikeri. Whilst coffee was growing here since the 1960s 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.
Starting 19th September 2023, we add a new attraction to our estate, The Mercara Gold Estate - World Coffee Museum!
Themed to trace the history of coffee from birth and era to present day, this museum will give visitors the most immersive coffee experience ever!
