摘要

Poabs Organic Estates makes a positive contribution to the ecosystem. On one side of the Poabs plantation, the Kollengode cliff forms a natural boundary on a clear day, you can see the plains and the town of Palakkad. On other sides, and in the upperreaches, the estate shares a fence with reserve forests rich in biodiversity. Poabs Organic Estates offers a range of 'certified organic' socially and environmentally cultivated teas and coffees, with distinctive cup profiles. In 1988, Poabs Group took over the plantation and since 1989, the plantation has been developed entirely by Poabs. The estate, initially planted with Arabica coffee with intercrops of cardamom, has come to be known as 'Seethargundu', the name being associated with the epic story of Ramayana; "SEETHADEVI lived here with Sreeraman during the Vanavasa period (Exile Period)". The estate has variously been called "Seethagundy", "Seethagandy", "Sethangandy", "Sitakundu", as often happens with local names.
