Coffee Art in Wayanad
Tourism in Wayanad: The New Heaven of Coffee-Tea Tourism and Coffee Art in Wayanad.
Our dreams are always full of heaven. What will be our feelings if the heaven is a garden of coffee and tea? The aroma of strong, bubbling coffee and the scent of green tea will carry you to another dream world. Coffee and tea requires salubrious climate for cultivation. You have all the ambience of heaven in a coffee-tea region. Try once and you will never forget it. There is enough for you in Wayanad if you want to taste this dream in this life itself.
Wayanad is the coffee-tea heaven of God’s Own Country, the tourist brand name of Kerala state-the tiny strip of land, locked in between the Arabian Sea and the highlands of Western Ghat forest/Nilgiri Biosphere, in the Southern tip of India. Kerala’s natural beauty made it one of the 50 Must-See tourist destinations of the world selected by National Geographic. The wealth of biodiversity gave Western Ghats its entry into the list of world’s most important 25 Biodiversity Hotspots. In Wayanad, a focal point of Western Ghats, physical and biological diversity, forests and wildlife, coffee and tea, spices, hills, waterfalls, rivers, peaks, farms, plantations, pilgrim centres and cultural diversities offers you a true heavenly experience.
Coffee is like air in Wayanad. It is cultivated in every village in Wayanad district, either in large plantations or small holdings. There is no house in Wayanad without coffee in the backyard. Coffee is the mainstay in Wayanad’s economy. Coffee is cultivated in 75,057 ha in Kerala, of which 66, 999 ha is in Wayanad. Coffee helped to maintain the green diversity because it requires good shade. The shade trees host pepper and many vegetables, apart from becoming a good long term asset, economically and environmentally. Coffee shrub gap provides space for various vegetables such as yams, beans and banana. A coffee estate is a real treat to eyes with its multi crop richness and plant diversity. In Wayanad, the traditional Coffee Arabica variety is preferred by majority of growers and only small area is under new varieties such as Coffee Robusta.
Tea is a different cup in Wayanad as elsewhere. It needs sun shine without shade. But tea estates offer a great sight: the panorama of green bed, especially when looked from a distance.

This is the USP of coffee-tea tourism in Wayanad.
Yet another coffee revolution in Wayanad is the coffee art. Coffee craft is booming along with coffee-tea tourism in Wayanad.
