Modern Roast, Timeless Flavour
FLAVOR PROFILE
Orchardale Estate rests high in the Shevaroy Hills of Tamil Nadu, surrounded by cool hill air, shade trees, and spice-growing heritage. With elevations around 4,700–5,000 ft / 1,430–1,525 MASL, the estate offers the kind of slow-growing conditions that help Indian Arabica develop sweetness, clarity, and layered fruit expression.
On Orchardale, you find Arabica varieties such as SLN9 and SLN795 — both valued for their structure, balance, and ability to carry nuanced flavour. This particular lot is naturally processed, allowing the fruit character to deepen while preserving the coffee’s aromatic lift. The result is a cup that feels tropical yet composed: soft banana sweetness, tea-like Earl Grey elegance, and a clean blood orange finish.
Orchardale is part of the respected MSP Coffee family, whose journey began in coffee, cardamom, and spice trading before growing into one of the Shevaroy region’s important coffee legacies. Today, the fourth and fifth generations continue the family’s work, carrying the estate forward with attention to cultivation, processing, and long-term quality.
For IKKIS, Orchardale represents a bright and expressive side of Indian coffee — gentle, aromatic, and quietly playful. This roast was developed to protect clarity while opening the natural sweetness of the lot. It belongs beautifully in the Drift Series: light, lifted, and made for slow filter rituals.
