Coffee is the be-all and end-all of my life. I am definitely one of those people who simply doesn't talk to anyone before I have had my first cup of coffee (notice how I said first). And if you think you fit the bill too, then you are going to love this piece, so make sure you bookmark it. In the hum drum of routine, we may have to keep ourselves content with just a mug of coffee (of course with a few refills here and there). But what if I told you, there are places in our country, where you could wake up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, walk miles in a tranquil plantation and witness the whole bean-to-cup process, in the lap of nature and luxury? It's true!

The 1st of October is acknowledged as International Coffee Day. While at the surface it's just another day, to us coffee aficionados, it's the recognition of our favourite beverage. And therefore, this day we will go the extra mile and celebrate it in the grandest way possible. How, you ask? We bring to you in this article, five cottages and resorts that are nestled in estates surrounded by coffee plantations. Get your fill of rich coffee and grandeur, and pamper yourself by picking your favourite destination and planning a trip.
