The Pulleys hill range is situated adjacent to the popular Kodaikanal hill resort on the southernmost tip of the Western Ghats. Among the unique features of this hill, the field is the bluebell-like Kurinji flower that is visible only once in 12 years. Some of the best Arabicas are grown here like S.795, S1n.10, and Cauvery. These coffees have a medium body, medium-plus acidity, and a slight flavor coupled with a citrus aroma.
