Ratnagiri Estate is redefining Indian specialty coffee. Led by Ashok Patre, this farm combines deep respect for terroir with cutting-edge science to craft coffees that are clean, complex, and full of character.

Origin

Nestled in the Western Ghats of India, Ratnagiri sits in a lush, biodiverse environment that provides ideal conditions for quality coffee. Ashok’s mission: showcase India’s unique varieties and soils while elevating the country’s place in the global specialty scene.

Variety

This lot features native Indian cultivars, carefully chosen to reflect the estate’s terroir. Expect a cup that balances vibrant fruit with structure and sweetness—a signature of Ashok’s precision-driven approach.

Process

Fermentation here isn’t guesswork—it’s science. Ashok and his team use custom-built tanks, microbial monitoring, and data-driven protocols to shape flavor intentionally. The result is a coffee that’s clean, layered, and expressive without ever feeling over-processed.

Flavour Notes: Almond, Honeycomb, Vanilla & Pear

What is the roast recency?

Onyx recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
