Coffee Planters in Nilgiris Hills

Hello,

I am interested in hearing from anyone who has an interest in coffee growing in India.

I am particularly interested in the Kulhutty Estate, which lay in the Nilgiris Hills and bordered the Kulhutty Falls. This estate was run by the WILSON/HEWITT family from about 1896 through to at least 1981. Prior to this time, the family names associated with its ownership include DENTON and DAVIDSON and possibly JOHNSON and COURPALAIS.

Further, I am interested in hearing from families who may have worked on this or other estates in the area and who can provide me with information about the coffee growing process and life-style that when with it.

Finally, I am interested in locating the estate, which has changed hands and is probably part of a conglomerate.

If anyone can help me with this search, I would be grateful.

Dawn Pettit
