Size: 12oz retail bag Taste Notes: Cashew Butter, Tangelo, Velveteen Sensory: creamy, citrus bomb, toffee, fancy caramels, malt powder Region: Chikmagalur, Karnataka, India Grown By: The Patre Family at Ratnagiri Estate Elevation: 1340 MASL Variety: Catuai Processing: Washed The Ratnagiri Estate, nowadays run by Ashok and Divya Patre, this estate has been producing fine pepper and coffee for nearly 100 years! As was the case with last year’s introductory Ratnagiri, what we’ve got with this Catuai is perhaps best compared to some of the loveliest coffees from Brazil you’ve ever had: nutty and velvety, with a coating finish that sticks around for days. Applying superbly high standards to every single one of their lots, the effort pays off here in a gorgeously reliable everyday offering that’s perhaps best appreciated as a stalwart espresso option.
