ORIGINES

Our Ratnagiri Estate oering comes from India’s Western Ghats, a
mountain range in Southern India considered to be the motherland of
Indian coee. The estate, situated between 1,250–1,450 MASL, has been producing
coee for nearly a century. In recent years, owner Ashok Patre decided to
modernize, optimizing fertilization and plantings, setting the stage for better and
better harvests to come. Patre has led the farm in experimental processing,
including the production of microlots of anaerobic fermentations of natural and
honey processed coees. Over the past few years, investments have also been
made in a new ECOpulper, raised drying beds, and a brand new dry-milling facility
that can accommodate small lots.
Most importantly, Ratnagiri has invested in its people. Increased worker
training—and salaries—have improved standards of picking and cherry selection at
harvest, and the quality of life and commitment of the people who make these
coees a reality. The result has been some truly captivating coees that begin to
showcase the potential of specialty coee in India.
