Ratnagiri Estate is nestled in the Western Ghats of South India. As part of a tiger reserve, we peacefully coexist with the rich wildlife, contributing to the biodiversity and sustainability of the region. The story begins in 1927, when Patre K Shivappaiya, embarked on a remarkable journey. With a vision and a passion for coffee, he acquired this very land, then partly a jungle. With unwavering dedication, he began clearing the land and planting the first coffee seeds in early 1929. Patience and perseverance became our guiding principles as we nurtured these young trees, finally welcoming the first harvest in 1934.
Over the years, Ratnagiri Estate has transformed into a thriving coffee haven. They are committed to honoring the legacy of those who came before them, while constantly innovating and striving for excellence. Through generations of passion and hard work, they have become one of India’s leading specialty coffee producing farm.

The Roaster : Caffinary

Caffinary is a brand founded by Caffi-nari Ms. Bhavika. I loved their black branding and all the lovelt coffee they roast! Caffinari first texted me in 2023 regarding their premium instant coffee. Then i got their samplers for specialty coffee and there has been no looking back. Love that they have samplers!
They have Vinayak on tech & design, Ajay and Hrishekesh to roast their coffees!

My thoughts

my love to caffinary for selling sampler sizes. this entire bag was done as pourovers. V60 only. its super smooth, clean with a mild acidity, hint of tarty berries. its slightly sweet, not dark or bitter. the flavours just linger!
