Ratnagiri Hemavathi • Vacuum-shocked Natural

Summary

Ratnagiri Hemavathi is a specialty coffee from Ratnagiri Estate in Chikmagalur, Karnataka, India, produced by Ashok and Divya Patre. The estate, established in 1927, focuses on progressive experimentation and controlled fermentation. This lot features the Hemavathi variety, a hybrid developed in India with resistance to coffee leaf rust, grown at 1335 meters above sea level. The processing involves a 48-hour in-cherry fermentation with DIV52 microbes in sealed biofermenters, followed by a vacuum shock that creates a pressure differential to enhance flavor. The cup profile offers notes of white blossom, almond paste, and raspberry.
