About the farm

Ratnagiri Estate is an environmentally abundant corner of the majestic South Indian Western Ghats near Bababudangiri, the place where coffee in India originated. Spread over 117 hectares, Ratnagiri has an impressive yield of quality specialty coffee successfully inter-cropped with fine pepper. Ratnagiri literally means Pearl Mountains, and the dense silver oaks that tower over remarkably flavourful shade grown coffee give a silvery hue to the hills illustrating the name. At Ratnagiri, generations of the Patre family have dedicated their lives since 1927, caring for a land that has rewarded their passion and perseverance. With Coffee, Pepper and Nature.

Ratnagiri Estate coffee is a popular purchase by fine flavour seeking palates across the world. The farm follows strict quality standards and has its own water supply from two freshwater streams following strict guidelines of government quality and pollution control boards. With a strong commitment to environmental conservation and sustainability, the coffee from the estate is a fine blend of art and heart!

Some coffees born from experimental fermentations have earned the label “dirty” from traditionalists, pushing producers to fine-tune processes that balance sweetness with clarity. This lot from the Ratnagiri Vault shows how far Ashok Patre has taken that challenge. His work with microbial cultures, controlled fermentations, and precise drying has steadily shifted Ratnagiri’s output—from wild, funky, boundary-pushing cups to more nuanced, elegant expressions that remain just as memorable. Here, sweetness is immaculate and clarity uncompromised. Every note is sharply defined, every layer distinct. Built for espresso, it offers a fruit-forward cup—syrupy, sweet, but balanced. Its clarity translates seamlessly into refined pourovers, while its richness anchors deeply satisfying cold brews.
