Sangameshwar Coffee Estates has come a long way in taking forward the vision of our beloved founder Shri. K.S.Vaidyanathan. The third generation of coffee planters of SCE are Mr.S. Appadurai and Mrs Hamsini Appadurai. The duo work together as a team in managing pre and post-harvest requirements of the coffee grown at the estates.
In the beginning, we set out with one great obsession- The commitment to producing high-quality coffee. It is now clear that we have three great obsessions:
1. Quality of coffee
2. The purity of the environment
3. Sanctity of life and alignment with sustainable agriculture
