Welcome to Nandanvan Estate: Home of Nandan Coffee At the foothills of the Western Ghats, nestled within a 35-acre organic coffee estate, lies Nandanvan—a living expression of our philosophy: to cultivate with care, serve with soul, and connect people to land and self through coffee. Nandanvan isn’t just a retreat—it’s our family’s legacy, built over three generations of growing coffee the slow, honest way. Every corner of this estate is shaped by our belief that great coffee and good living come from the same roots: respect for nature, care for community, and time to breathe. Your Stay, Reimagined As you step into the estate home, the scent of roasted beans and red earth welcomes you. The interiors are simple yet soulful—designed not for luxury, but for presence. The living room encourages slow conversations, the dining space invites shared laughter, and the bedrooms open out into nature as though blurring the line between home and forest. The study corner holds over 200 handpicked books—an homage to quiet reflection. The garden outside is wild and free, inviting butterflies, children, and grownups alike to lose track of time. Coffee, Nature, and Slow Living: Guest Experiences Here, we invite you to do more than just stay. Let Nandanvan awaken your senses and reconnect you with the essentials: 🌿 Guided Estate Walk Walk the estate with one of our team members and learn how coffee is grown organically through methods like rainwater harvesting and shade-grown cultivation. Understand the rhythms of a sustainable farm. ☕ Coffee Brewing Session Join us for a hands-on brewing session where you’ll taste different Nandan Coffee profiles and learn how to brew the perfect cup—whether using a French press, pour-over, or South Indian filter. 🧺 Streamside Picnic We’ll pack a picnic and guide you to a quiet corner near the stream—a perfect spot for daydreaming, journaling, or simply listening to the forest.
