Attikan Estate is located at an altitude of 1,350 to 1,700 meters above sea level in a remote part of the Biligiri Rangan Hills in the South Eastern part of Karnataka.

The Estate was founded around 1888 by Scotsman Randolph Morris .Sangameshwar Coffee Estates are the current owners.

With a nature reserve close by & a natural source of water, Attikan estate is a natural habitat for wild animals like Elephants, Indian Gaur, Leopards, Spotted Deer etc.

Coffee here is grown under the cover of a Fig (Atti) Forest (Kan). Orange trees are also grown on the estate & both contribute to the unique flavor of the estate's coffee. The estate has won plenty of Flavour of India/Fine Cup awards (the Indian equivalent to Cup of Excellence).

From December to March, coffee beans are hand picked & sorted after picking. Processing is by a Pinhlense Pulper with Natural Fermentation, Aqua Washing & Slow Drying on a Brick Drying Yard or Elevated racks.

Varietal SLN 795

The higher altitude of the estate results in slower growth resulting in denser coffee with bold rich flavors of chocolate and malt & fruity notes of Peach, Raspberry & Oranges.
