This is our second year offering coffee from producers Ashok and Divya Patre of Ratnagiri Estate in India. The Patre family has stewarded their land for nearly a century, producing specialty coffee and fine pepper. The Patres apply a precise attention to detail and have a strong focus on coffee innovation. The Thermal Shock Natural process is a very unique and experimental method. After sorting, ripe coffee cherries are heated to 57 degrees Celsius and then drastically cooled to negative 2 degrees Celsius. This process of heating and rapid cooling changes the coffee’s cell structure and is believed to bring out unconventional flavor profiles that cannot be achieved with other fermentation methods.

We selected this coffee to highlight Ashok and Divya Patre’s amazing work at Ratnagiri Estate. We’re also excited to offer an experimental Natural Thermal Shock process for the first time. This coffee has a highly complex fruity profile, with note of melon and ripe strawberries and a bourbon candied pecan finish.

Shipping Information

We operate Monday-Friday and strive to ship your order within 2 business days of the order or renewal date (not including weekends.) Your order will be shipped by UPS or USPS to your door. You will receive a tracking notification when your order ships.

Roasting Information

All coffee is roasted fresh to order on our Loring S35 Kestrel Coffee Roaster. All bags are stamped with the roast date, and we think coffee tastes best if consumed within 2-4 weeks. However, if left whole bean and stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, the coffee can remain enjoyable for up to 4-6 months, depending on the bag or container. Most of our coffee is roasted to a medium or light/medium roast level, except for All Day, which is our staple dark roast offering.
