Ratnagiri Estate – Culture Naturals Jasmine

About This Coffee

A single-origin coffee from Ratnagiri Estate, located near Bababudangiri in the Western Ghats of South India. The estate spans 117 hectares, with shade-grown coffee inter-cropped with pepper at altitude. Operated by the Patre family since 1927, this experimental lot by Ashok Patre features a strikingly floral profile — with jasmine, tuberose, magnolia, and bubblegum notes — distinct from the sweet, winey, and fruity profiles typical of Indian fermentations. Certified Rainforest Alliance and traded directly.
