Goorghully Estate
In the lap of Tipu Sultan’s Manjarabad Fort lies the Goorghully Estate. The estate was
started by planters F G Foster, Margret Brook and others in 1940. The Goorghully estate is best recognized for producing a delectable cup of Arabica coffee. Goorghully Black Honey Processed is a coffee made with patience and slowly dried to perfection to give it that signature complex flavor.
