From the inventive mind of Ashok Patre emerges a definitive statement in florality—now synonymous with Ratnagiri Estate’s most celebrated expressions. Renowned for his rigorously researched and precisely executed post-harvest methods, Patre has consistently redefined the sensory possibilities of Indian coffee. In this lot, a 48-hour anaerobic fermentation with his own lab-cultured microbes delivers a cup of remarkable elegance and aromatic clarity. It is yet another masterstroke from a producer whose work continues to intrigue, challenge, and delight the most discerning coffee connoisseurs.

Unsealing your bag of Ratnagiri Culture Naturals Rose reveals an immediate bloom of rosewater—elegant, vivid, and unmistakable—accompanied by a delicate trace of lavender. This floral signature presents itself with clarity in both orthonasal (aroma on the nose) and retronasal (aroma rising from within the mouth) perception, framing the entire sensory experience. Beneath, a gentle sweetness recalls ripe squash melon, interwoven with fleeting impressions of watermelon and lychee. The finish is swift yet refreshing, leaving the palate cleansed and uplifted. Balanced acidity and a poised body work in harmony, consistently elevating the rosewater note from first sip to last. Our light-to-medium filter roast profile is designed to capture these fragile floral nuances while preserving sufficient sweetness to render the cup refined, layered, and memorable.

This lot underwent a meticulously controlled anaerobic fermentation in sealed bio-fermenters for 48 hours, using selected lab-cultured microbes to guide and enhance flavour development. The absence of oxygen during fermentation allowed for precise modulation of acidity and the expression of floral aromatics. Following fermentation, the coffee cherries were dried on raised beds for 23 days under careful monitoring. This extended, even drying preserved the coffee’s delicate bouquet, refined sweetness, and delivered a clean, well-structured cup with a pronounced floral signature.

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!
