A bold honey processed coffee from India.  Very comforting brew with those biscuit notes and the sweet vanilla coming through.  Roasted on the darker side to bring out the sweetness.

About This Coffee
The Hindi word 'Ratnagiri' translates literally to 'Pearl Mountain', a reference to the dense silver oak canopy which crowns this farm. Ratnagiri was established in 1920 and is owned and operated by Ashok Patre, having been passed down from Grandfather, to father to son. Ashok describes this coffee as follows:
"This is a red honey processed coffee and it comes from two blocks on our farm and is mainly the Cavery varietal. The coffee was depulped and allowed to have an aerobic fermentation and was slowly dried for 26 days on raised beds."
We have partnered with Ratnagiri Estate for 6 straight seasons and there are no prizes for guessing why: this farm is consistently producing the best Indian coffees on our cupping table, season after season.
