Modern Roast, Timeless Flavour
Stanmore Estate rests in the gentle slopes of the Shevaroy Hills, enveloped by a mixed canopy of native shola forest, fig, jackfruit, jamun, and silver oak trees. Elevation ranges between ~ 4,000–4,300 ft above sea level, offering cool air, rich soils and abundant rainfall — ideal conditions for stable, expressive Arabica.
On Stanmore you find Arabica varietals like Hawaii Red Caturra, Catimor, BBTC, S9, SLN09, and Chandragiri — all nurtured under forest-shade and often intercropped with pepper, jackfruit and other jungle plants. Cherries are handpicked and processed with care; some lots follow natural/dry-ferment or raised-bed drying protocols, yielding complex, terroir-driven beans.
Stanmore’s coffees tend to manifest a balanced structure — clarity and sweetness rooted in soil and shade, with potential for layered complexity (e.g. berry, fruit or deep body depending on processing). This makes Stanmore a versatile estate: ideal for filter brews, cold-brew experiments, or medium-roast espresso — aligning with IKKIS’s “Science · Story · Soul” ethos.
