India Ratnagiri Estate Cauvery Honey
India Ratnagiri Estate Cauvery Honey
The Hindi word 'Ratnagiri' translates to 'Pearl Mountain,' aptly named for the dense silver oak canopy that crowns this farm. Established in 1920, Ratnagiri is owned and operated by Ashok Patre, having been passed down through generations from grandfather to father to son. This honey-processed, single-variety (Selection 9) microlot is dried on raised beds for 16 to 20 days.
The Producer
Ashok Patre is a progressive, well-traveled, and innovative individual. Drawing inspiration from his experiences, he has transcended traditional Indian coffee cultivation and processing. He tests Brix levels before harvesting and employs various processing methods, including natural, honey, and fermentation experiments, alongside traditional washed processing.
Ratnagiri Estate is essentially an organic/biodynamic farm with official Rainforest Alliance Certification. Quarterly soil tests and organic amendments are standard practices. The farm utilizes ionic seawater and seaweed extract to boost plant immunity and fruit sugar levels.
The estate is a lush, shaded environment with three layers of canopy. It supports over 48 recorded bird species and various wildlife, including monkeys, leopards, wild boar, tigers, mongoose, and occasionally, elephants. The rich biodiversity demands a farming approach that prioritizes ecology and environmental harmony. Ratnagiri Estate stands as a world-class farm, a leading example in India, showcasing the successful collaboration between Olam and the farmer to achieve excellence.

India Ratnagiri Estate Cauvery Honey
Don't know how potterbeans keep producing such good coffee's, but again they have done. Nice well balanced coffee, back or white.
Potterbeans is always my first choice for ground coffee with a personal touch - great company & great service every time.
Tasty tasty
Great selection of coffees to give as a gift and nicely presented. Recipient was delighted with gift.
Although we have a regular order of monsoon malibar there has never been a coffee we didn't enjoy from Potter Beans. Always quick to respond they are people that obviously love what they do with a passion, whether that be coffee related or pottery related.
Recomended and gifted to so many friends.
In my haste to write about my favourite coffee, I somehow gave it one star, with a glowing review. That wasn't my intention.
Great gift
Loved it. Will definitely order again
Fantastic! Lovely flavours: smoky, earthy, and spicy espresso.
The tins were a gift and they are beautiful to look at, and the coffee tastes gorgeous. Very impressed.
This coffee is very smooth and very very drinkable! Notes of milk chocolate, fig and apricot. I always thought Indonesian coffees were quite smoky and spicy but this is not. Thanks Steve for recommending it, I might have otherwise steered clear. I shall be buying another bag soon.
A good daily brew would buy again
