The first of our rare coffees, this carbonic maceration natural has notes of mango, orange and marzipan.

Established in 1920, Ratnagiri is owned and operated by Ashok Patre. Ashok described the process for this lot as follows:
"This is a 96-hour extended carbonic maceration natural processed coffee. It is from the Hemavathi varietal grown on our farm at 4500 feet from the block called Sivermara Patte. The Brix of the coffee cherries was 25.9 when harvested and they were put in the Bio fermenters after floater removal. The coffee was inoculated with a mix of different lab-grown cultures. The tanks were then purged with carbon dioxide gas, and the coffee was fermented for 96 hours. After removing the coffee, they were directly put on raised beds for slow drying. The coffee was then dried slowly with constant stirring over the next 31 days"

Despite the extended processing, this coffee is surprisingly juicy and clean.

India is one of the most characterful and underrated coffee origins in the world. Grown almost entirely under dense shade canopies in the hills of the south, its coffees are known for their full body, low acidity, and deep, spiced sweetness — a signature shaped by the region's monsoon climate and a long tradition of estate farming. It's also an origin in motion: alongside classics like Monsooned Malabar, India's best estates are now producing some of the most exciting experimental lots anywhere, from carbonic maceration naturals to anaerobic fermentations.

To ensure peak flavour and aroma, we roast in small batches multiple times per week at our local roastery. Every bag is shipped shortly after roasting, ensuring you receive it at the optimal point for degassing and brewing. We recommend resting your coffee for 5–7 days from the roast date to allow the flavours to fully develop before brewing.

Keep your coffee in its original valved bag, stored in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid the fridge or freezer, as moisture can damage the delicate oils and flavor profiles of the beans.
