Ratnagiri Dark Room - Naturals
A limited Dark Room natural from Ratnagiri Estate in Chikmagalur, produced by Ashok Patre from Chandragiri at 1200 MASL.
The coffee is fermented and then slowly dried in a dark room to boost microbial activity, deepen the fruit, and build richness in the cup. It's a process Mr. Patre developed and refined himself, and it delivers — though the volumes are limited.
Expect strawberry, dried figs, and vanilla. Delicious across both espresso and pour over. Best for expressive pour overs, bright espressos, and small fruity milk drinks.
