Traveling to be close to Coffee

For quiet sometime, Ive been wanting to start my own specialty coffee business and a cafe . And for that I want to source good quality beans and roasters. To source these beans, I havent had much luck online in contacting estates/farms. So now Ive decided to go to where it all comes from, to be as close to my coffee as humanely possible, and in that search I am going infield to India’s 3 largest coffee producing places in Karnataka-Chimagalur, Kodagu/Coorg & Hassan in hope to get indepth knowledge about the beans and its processes, something that we dont find online , and in hopes to create business relationships that go a long way!

I am mostly going to be traveling solo, and will mostly be my budget trip, so wont have much to even stay at expensive homestays, so keeping this in mind, anyone who have been to these places or have any kind of tips/contacts/knowledge they can give out to this fellow Coffee Nerd, give away in the comments, and maybe one day I might be able to pay you back with one of the greatest coffee experience you shall have!
