Once upon a time... there was Washed and there was Natural - now it seems like every year we are presented with an insane coffee process that we've never heard of. As our understanding of the coffee world grows, exceptional roasters and 'top dog nerdy barista world-champions' continue to discover and showcase the wild and wonderful work of innovative producers. In turn, as the consumers demand for wild flavour grows, more and more producers are getting inspired to experiment with their coffee to enhance its flavour through different processing styles and fermentations.

REGION: CHIKMAGALUR
ALTITUDE: 1,340 MASL
PROCESSING: ANAEROBIC WASHED
VARIETAL: MIXED
FARM OWNER: ASHOK AND DIVYA PATRE
TASTES LIKE: NOUGAT, CHERRY, COCONUT

Nestled in the Western Ghats of Southern India, Ratnagiri Estate coexists peacefully as part of a tiger reserve. Since acquiring the land in 1927, the Patre family has held a strong vision of sustainable coffee cultivation. Today the estate remains very much a jungle, and third generation farmer Ashok continues to play his role in protecting and preserving the biodiversity of the region. For this lot, coffee cherries were first pulped, then fermented without oxygen for 90 hours before being soaked in clean water for 24 hours. Following, the coffee was slowly dried on raised beds for 27 days. This extended fermentation has given the coffee a rich and sticky-sweet flavour reminding us of nougat and cherry.

REGION: CHIKMAGALUR
ALTITUDE: 1,340 MASL
PROCESSING: ANAEROBIC NATURAL
VARIETAL: CATUAI
FARM OWNER: ASHOK AND DIVYA PATRE
TASTES LIKE: ORANGE LIQUEUR, ROCKMELON

Upon taking over production at Ratnagiri in 1989, Ashok Patre decided to replant the entire estate with new coffee varietals. He nurtured these plants for 15 years before transitioning the farm into specialty coffee. Alongside his devotion to quality, Ashok’s wife Divya Patre also plays a crucial role, and oversees all training and harvesting activities. With her expert guidance, only the best cherries are selected on each harvesting day. For this naturally processed lot, cherries were fermented without oxygen for 72 hours before being slowly dried on raised beds for 28 days. This coffee has big fruit-forward boozy flavour, with characteristics of citrus and ripe melon.

REGION: CHIKMAGALUR
ALTITUDE: 1,340 MASL
PROCESSING: CO-FERMENT ANAEROBIC WASHED
VARIETAL: CAUVERY
FARM OWNER: ASHOK AND DIVYA PATRE
TASTES LIKE: TURKISH DELIGHT, LAVENDER

Ashok Patre and his team have gone to impressive lengths to create a clean and controlled environment for the careful application of his complex coffee fermentations. For this uniquely processed lot, a specific strain of yeast, lactic acid bacteria, fresh rose, jasmine and lavender were combined with coffee cherries in stainless steel tanks, which were then fermented for 72 hours in a carbon dioxide-rich environment. Following this, the coffee was pulped, washed and slowly dried for 26 days on raised beds, accompanied by more of the same fresh flowers. We find this coffee to be delicately floral and very sweet, with a powdered sugar-like mouthfeel.

REGION: CHALATENANGO
ALTITUDE: 1,376 MASL
PROCESSING: WASHED
VARIETAL: PACAMARA
FARM OWNER: VICENTE DIAZ
TASTES LIKE: LEMON BUTTER, TOFFEE, GREEN APPLE

This complex coffee comes from La Palma, Chalatenango and is produced independently by Vicente Diaz, who has been proudly trading specialty coffee for over 8 years. His farm is named ‘El Derrumbo’ after a massive landslide event, which occurred many years ago making the area well known to locals. Vicente grows several varieties of coffee, which are harvested upon optimal ripeness but are not ‘floated’ (typical of the washed process), rather they are picked and pulped on the same day using very little water. Following this, the cherries undergo a short 12 - 15 hour dry-fermentation before being placed on raised beds to dry for a further 20 - 25 days.

REGION: GUJI
ALTITUDE: 2,000 - 2,150 MASL
PROCESSING: NATURAL
VARIETAL: MIXED
FARM OWNER: LOCAL SMALLHOLDER FARMERS
TASTES LIKE: PINEAPPLE, CREAM, CITRA HOPS

The average Ethiopian farm size is 2.5 hectares, which is larger than the average farm in Colombia. However, the planting density in Ethiopia is much lower, with most production occurring in fully or semi-forested systems. This results in fewer trees per hectare and lower yield per tree (the national average being an astonishingly low 0.8 kg of cherry per tree per year). This coffee comes from the Suke drying station, nestled in the hills of Shakiso, Guji. Suke purchases cherries from roughly 35 smallholder farmers to produce Shoondhisa.
