Nurtured by monsoon winds and nestled amongst silver oaks, the eco-friendly Ratnagiri Estate produces mostly Catuai variety and processes in a number of progressive ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this microlot, Mr. Patre pushed a uniquely ferment-forward character by a process called Thermal Shock Natural. Once the ripe coffee cherries are picked and water channel sorted, they\u003cspan\u003e are sealed in bio-fermenters where lab-grown cultures inoculate the coffee. The tanks are then purged with carbon dioxide, fermenting the coffee for 1.5-2.25 days. The temperature of the bio-fermenter is then increased to 108-118 ℉ for 12-16 minutes before rapidly cooling to 34-37℉, thermally shocking the coffee. The coffee is then dried slowly on raised beds with constant stirring over the next 25 to 28 days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAshok Patre's skillful fermentation yields abundant fresh and cooked fruits, spices, and florals in a sweet, winey cup. Although this coffee can be brewed in any method due to light-medium roasting, we recommend pour over or press pot for this aromatically-stunning microlot. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoast\u003c\/strong\u003e: Light-Medium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess\u003c\/strong\u003e: Thermal Shock Natural \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCatuai\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElevation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1355 masl (low-medium)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Karnataka, India - in the Sahyadri Mountains of southwest India off the Arabian Sea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ashok Patre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarm\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cspan\u003e Ratnagiri Estate, 117 hectares\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrades \/ Certifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: Microlot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nov. 2025 - March 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrew Guides\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEspresso\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 1:2.1 in 25-28 sec.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 1:16.3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"vimeo-player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/841226174?h=79361d947b\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vignette Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"Case of 6 x 10 oz","offer_id":67805327261866,"sku":null,"price":84.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 lb","offer_id":67805327294634,"sku":null,"price":44.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":67805327327402,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4oz Sample","offer_id":67805327360170,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/9219\/0634\/files\/Cafe_Imports_India_Ratnagiri_Estate-coffee_bio-fermenters.jpg?v=1794261752","url":"https:\/\/vignettecoffee.com\/products\/india-ratnagiri-carbonic-honey-wholesale","provider":"Vignette Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
