Ratnagiri Estate – India

In the misty mountains of South India, Ratnagiri Estate has been tended by the Patre family for nearly a century. What began in 1927 with Mr. Shivappaiya’s first coffee trees has grown into one of India’s most celebrated estates—a place where tradition and innovation meet in every cup.

Each harvest begins with ripe, hand-selected cherries, which are given an ozone bath before entering a carefully controlled fermentation. The process unfolds in two stages: first, a 48-hour anaerobic fermentation in a bio-fermenter with a mossto culture, followed by a gentle 20-hour aerobic fermentation before being fully washed and dried on raised beds under the sun. The result is a coffee that feels alive—complex, clean, and expressive of its vibrant origin.

Ratnagiri, meaning “Pearl Mountain,” sits within the Western Ghats, a lush biodiversity hotspot and home to a nearby tiger reserve. The farm thrives in harmony with nature, shaded by forest canopy and sustained by generations of knowledge.

Led today by Ashok and Divya Patre alongside a devoted team, Ratnagiri Estate continues to push the boundaries of Indian specialty coffee—honoring the land, the people, and the endless possibilities within the bean.

The people who grew it

We do not buy lots off a list. Siri travels to origin, sits with the producers, and keeps going back season after season. Five years with the same farm is not a slogan, it is a working relationship where both sides can plan.

That is why this coffee tastes the way it did last year, only better.

HOW WE SOURCE

How to brew it

However you already make coffee is fine. If you want to get more out of the bag, start here.

Filter

Medium grind, water just off the boil, roughly sixty grams of coffee to a litre. Sweeter and more layered.

Espresso

Fine grind, eighteen in and about thirty six out over thirty seconds. Adjust from there to taste.

However you like

Drip machine, French press, milk, oat, ice. There is no wrong way to drink your own coffee.

Not sure this is the one?

Two easy ways in. Neither of them requires you to already know what you like.

Come taste it first

Sit at the bar and try five to ten side by side. Thirty five dollars, and you pick as you go.
