Nanu's – A Fascinating Story
It's a journey that goes back a whopping 83 years, right to the heart of the inauguration of Sitaram Mills in Trichur. Employing over 1000 people, it was a bustling hub in Poonkunnam. Now, here's where our story takes a flavorful twist – Nanu Ezhuthassan, a visionary with a knack for creating something extraordinary, was entrusted with running the canteen outside the mill. Nanu's had something special brewing – quite literally. The canteen became famous for its exceptional filter coffee and tea and Authentic Snacks. More than just a place to grab a quick bite, the mill's canteen became a refuge for social workers and the upcoming politicians. Nanu Ezhuthassan had a big heart, especially for feeding the less privileged. The story takes an intriguing turn when he decides to go the extra mile – to Kumbakonam, to be precise. There, he studied the techniques behind making a special decoction for coffee and tea, setting the stage for something truly unique.
Nanu’s proudly carries this legacy forward. The same old coffee and tea, crafted with the same passion and commitment. It is not just about the beverages; it’s about connecting with the past, with tales of political gatherings and the aromatic memories of the mill’s canteen. Interestingly, former Chief Minister Sri K. Karunakaran has shared how the canteen played a pivotal role in his political journey in numerous interviews. The taste of that coffee and tea lingered in his memories, becoming an integral part of his narrative. So, as you savor the rich flavors at Nanu’s, remember that you’re not just sipping on coffee or tea; you’re sipping on 83 years of history, passion, and a vision that started in the heart of Sitaram Mills. Cheers to tradition, legacy, and the timeless allure of a good cuppa!
