A group of six tribal women coffee farmers and coffee roasters from Keezhanthoor, a biodiversity hotspot from Anamalai Cholai of Idukki district in Kerala, enthralled with their spectacular bean dance a large global audience gathered at the 5th World Coffee Conference (WCC) that concluded recently in Bengaluru.
The folk dance of these Arabica-growing tribal farmers is special during the coffee harvest season every year at Keezhanthoor and their performances depict how coffee is inseparably linked to their lives, livelihood, culture and cuisine.
