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.
All of Our Coffee Bags are now Home Compostable!!
Please remove sticker valve before composting - Help us close the loop, for a sustainable future.
We've decided to evolve the way we send out coffee. Rather than limiting you to what we have already roasted in stock, we're allowing you to preorder whatever coffee you like in whatever size bag and we'll roast it just for you and send it fresh. So here's how to get the best of our 'SEND IT FRESH' program.
PREORDER SINGLE ORIGINS by MONDAY EVENING* - Anytime.
WE ROAST: Tuesday/Wednesday.
WE SEND IT: TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY (as soon as it's roasted)
*If you order Tuesday - Thursday: We'll send it if it's fresh and in stock. (On season Blend & Roaster Choice usually always available, please enter your mobile in checkout so we can get quicker responses from you if needed.)
*FRIDAY/MONDAY: We don't dispatch these days unless specially requested. We think it's better for you to have reasonably fresh coffee when it arrives, these days are too far from our roast days, and couriers move slower. So If you order Friday - Monday: Your order will be put on the list for roasting on Tuesday/Wednesday.
