The coffee

From Ratnagiri Estate’s Line Patte block, this SLN 9 is shaped by a controlled fermentation and a long, measured drying period.

The cherries spend 48 hours fermenting whole in biofermenters with an inoculated ORO microbial culture, before drying as a natural on raised beds for 25 days.

What emerges is a darker, more layered expression of SLN 9, with ripe fruit at its core and a brighter acidity carrying the cup through the finish.

The producers

Ratnagiri Estate is led by Ashok and Divya Patre, whose work pairs generations of coffee cultivation with a considered approach to fermentation, drying and lot separation.

Across the estate, different varieties and processing methods are explored independently, allowing each lot to offer its own interpretation of the same place.

Roasting

Roasted for filter to preserve definition through the cup, allowing the darker fruit profile to develop without losing the brighter acidity that gives it lift.

Brewing

Recommended for filter.
