Crafted Across Several Eras Madan Coffee's Alluring Heritage
Our Story
Founder
1970 John Colman
In 1964, John Colman, an Australian Patrol Officer and entrepreneur, obtained an Agricultural Lease called 'Madan' locally named after a small hill on the Estate.
During the excavation of over 40 miles of drains in marshlands, numerous prehistoric stone implements and tools were discovered, providing evidence of early land use in the area. The region, including Madan, is inextricably linked to a sophisticated agrarian civilization spanning over 10,000 years, as indicated by findings from the nearby interdisciplinary excavations conducted at the esteemed UNESCO World Heritage site of Kuk Archaeological Research Station by Australian National University and Pittsburgh University. Madan holds a significant place within this culturally rich heritage.
