The coffee cherries for this lot were harvested at 23.6 brix. The cherries were floated and then placed in a stainless steel fermentation tank along with a specific strain of yeast. The coffee was then allowed to ferment in the tank for 72 hours, in a carbon dioxide rich environment, before being moved to raised beds where it was dried for 26 days.
Ashok Patre is a progressive. Well-travelled and bursting with initiative, he has drawn inspiration from elsewhere to step beyond the boundaries of traditional Indian coffee cultivation and processing. Brix levels are tested before harvesting. Processing includes natural, honey and fermentation experiments alongside the traditional washed.
For all intents and purposes Ratnagiri Estate is an organic/biodynamic farm and also maintains official Rainforest Alliance Certification. Quarterly soil tests and organic corrections to soil are applied. Ionic seawater and sea weed extract are applied to improve plant immunity and sugar levels of the fruit.
The estate is a lush shaded environment with 3 stories of shade. It is home to over 48 recorded bird populations, monkeys, leopards, wild boar, tigers, mongoose and - on occasion - elephants. The rich biodiversity demands that Ashok and his family have an approach to farming which places ecology and harmony with the environment at the forefront.

Lovely coffee and excellent service from Monkeyboard. Many thanks
Very nice coffee. Low acidity as I like, chocolaty hint. Perfect for a morning wake up.
It’s coffee, it tastes great - what more do you need to know? Probably in my top three of coffee beans and I have had a few.
This is a really good coffee. Smooth, but very interesting, with plenty of flavour going on. I found this coffee to be very satisfying.
I'm enjoying this as my daily decaff coffee. I use 14g on a moderate grind with 220ml water and 3 minute brew on my Aeropress to bring out the sweetness. Still experimenting with this though!
Nothing touches this coffee tried allsorts of brands but this is the best by far I use the beans in my machine and but an extra packet for my aero press which I take fishing awesome taste and flavour
Great coffee and excellent service. Highly recommend
"I've been buying Italian Monkey coffee beans for a few years now, and they never disappoint. Perfect for creamy, milky coffees, they offer exceptional quality at an unbeatable value. Monkey Board service deserves a solid 10/10 for their seamless ordering process and excellent customer service."
I normally go for the rich toast strong blends but thought I’d give this one a try. Can’t say I was disappointed really enjoyed the velvet smooth taste and will definitely buy again
