The Story Behind the Cup
From the Baba Budan Mountain Range in Karnataka, South West India, this washed Arabica comes from Ratnagiri Estate, a producer known for crafting some of India’s finest washed coffees. Grown at 1150–1350 MASL, this lot features Kents and SL varietals and is carefully processed, de-stoned, and density graded to produce a clean, polished cup.
Established in 1923 the estate has been passed down through three generations, building a global reputation for producing high-quality washed Arabica. The name Ratnagiri translates to “Pearl Mountain,” inspired by the surrounding landscape. Today, Ratnagiri Estate grows coffee among black pepper, cardamom, native plants and shade trees, helping conserve the natural environment while supporting careful coffee production. With considered processing and drying, the estate continues to produce a sought-after cup that reflects both place and tradition.
