I did some searching for specific farm information and I can't find any yet, but I did find some general info about the Mysore Nuggets. Pop ups on the Maps of India web site so I did not link to it, beware.

From the Maps of India web site:

Coffee lovers around the country are extremely fond of the much desired Mysore Nuggets. The Mysore Nuggets is a type of Arabica Coffee processed in the Indian way. The Mysore Nuggets are considered as among the highest grades of Indian coffees.

Mysore is one of the oldest and largest coffee markets in the country.

The Mysore Nuggets have large bean sized granules and a strong flavor. The granules have polished appearance with a greenish blue tinge. The refreshing sweet aroma of the Mysore Nuggets is one of the main reasons behind its popularity. The taste of the Mysore Nuggets coffee is a wonderful blend of tangy acidity and sugary sweetness. The combination makes an unparallel taste.

Indian coffees sometime seem to get lost among the chaos and crowds of this enormous universe of a country. This is a shame since they are a wonderful part of the coffee spectrum, with low acidity, medium to full body, and subtly spiced in the cup.

Indian coffee has its own terminology. Dry-processed coffee is called Cherry, whereas wet-proceed arabica is named plantation arabica, even if it is not from a plantation. Wet-processed robusta (often used in espresso) is called parchment robusta. Occasionally when looking through a bag of Indian coffee you might come along a bright green coffee bean. This is because Indian coffee for the domestic market is dyed with a bright green vegetable dye, and this stray bean made the boat out of Madras. While this may sound like a strange practice, just remember that pistachios are not pink in nature either. Someone decided that it would be cool to dye the shells.
