The Legend of Baba Budan:
The Sage Who Brought Coffee to the World
Long ago, in ancient India, there was a wise sage named Baba Budan. During a pilgrimage to Mecca, he discovered the secret of coffee in the bustling markets of Mocha. Fascinated by its rich flavor and energizing effects, Baba Budan wanted to share this magical brew with his homeland.
Despite the coffee beans being a closely guarded secret of the Arabian traders, Baba Budan managed to smuggle a handful back to India. He planted the beans in the lush hills of his native land, where they thrived and grew.
As the beans flourished, coffee spread throughout India and beyond, enchanting people everywhere. Today, the hills where Baba Budan first planted the beans are named after him, a lasting tribute to the sage who transformed a hidden delight into a global phenomenon.
