πŸ“œ Historical Context

Cauvery Peak is a historic hillside coffee estate with a legacy spanning over 150 years. The estate is managed by MSP Plantations, whose origins trace back to Mr. MSP Rajes, an early Indian coffee planter in the Shevaroy Hills. His father initially traded with European planters, and eventually, Mr. MSP Rajes acquired their holdings and established the Cauvery Peak Estate. The descendants of MSP Rajes continue to manage the plantations under the names MSP Plantations and MSP Coffee. The estate plays a significant role in the region's coffee heritage, contributing to Yercaud's reputation for producing high-quality Arabica coffee. The cultivation of coffee in Yercaud dates back to the 1840s.
