Desi Drink Famous To Be South Indian But Is Not Indian In Origin
Filter Coffee
The first thing in the morning which is indispensable at any South Indian family is filter Coffee ☕️
South India's popular 'kaaphi' is actually not even Indian and how! This hot beverage actually originated in the Yemen region. Filter Coffee is said to have been introduced to India by Sufi saint Baba Budan who discovered it while on a pilgrimage to Mecca. The saint had carried along seven coffee beans from Mocha, Yemen to India.
At the time, it was illegal to transport green coffee beans out of the Arabian Peninsula as local coffee producers and traders wanted to preserve their monopoly. However, Baba Budan not only managed to sneak them into India by hiding the beans in his beard but he was also able to plant them at the hills of Chikmagalur, Karnataka in 1670. Since then coffee plantations have become established in the region, extending south to Kodagu.
