About this coffee
This farm in the Bababudangiri region is consistently producing the best Indian coffees season after season. This honey processed (another term for semi-washed) has a lovely apple & orange notes on the front end, with some sweet honey and caramel finish. Absolutely superb filter and really interesting Espresso coffee (which I would recommend pulling as a ristretto).
The Hindi word 'Ratnagiri' translates literally to 'Pearl Mountain', a reference to the dense silver oak canopy which crowns this farm. Ratnagiri was established in 1920 and is owned and operated by Ashok Patre, having been passed down from Grandfather, to father to son. This honey processed, single variety (Selection 9) microlot is dried on raised beds for 16 to 20 days.
Ashok Patre is a progressive. Well-travelled and bursting with initiative, he has drawn inspiration from elsewhere to step beyond the boundaries of traditional Indian coffee cultivation and processing. Brix levels are tested before harvesting. Processing includes natural, honey and fermentation experiments alongside the traditional washed.
