Sourcing & Processing

The Ratnagiri Estate in Karnataka, India

The Ratnagiri Estate is located in the southwestern foothills of the Sahyadri mountain range. The fertile land is canopied by silver oak trees and lush from the monsoon rains. Coffee has been cultivated on the estate since it was founded in 1927. Ashok Patre assumed ownership in 1989 and has since revolutionized coffee production on his farm. In 2010 Ashok produced his first honey-processed specialty coffee and began to re-think and re-design many aspects of the estate. He invested in new infrastructure by constructing a mill, drying houses, and a washing station.

In recent years, Ashok has focused on making cultivation and processing methods on the estate eco-friendly. He continues to implement new sustainable production systems. Ashok is forward-thinking and continues to challenge and change the coffee industry in India.

Specialty coffee is cultivated on the Ratnagiri estate in specific farm subplots. This Cauvery varietal was grown in the Giri Patte block. Cherries were carefully harvested at 23.9 degrees Brix. They were floated for quality and placed in stainless steel fermenting tanks. Carbon dioxide was pumped into the tanks. The coffee was allowed to ferment for 86 hours before being moved to raised drying beds. It was dried slowly with constant stirring, for approximately 29 days, until fully dry.
