This is a very special release for us: our first-ever coffee from India, sourced from a farm we've admired for years — the legendary Ratnagiri Estate. Nestled in the lush Western Ghats and surrounded by a protected tiger reserve, Ratnagiri has spent nearly a century building its reputation as one of India’s most innovative and quality-driven coffee producers.
The estate’s story began in 1927, when Patre K. Shivappaiya purchased the land (then partly jungle) and planted the first coffee trees. Three generations later, the farm is led by Ashok and Divya Patre, who transformed Ratnagiri into one of India’s leading specialty estates through science-led processing, biodiversity-driven agriculture, and relentless pursuit of excellence.
Thanks to our sourcing partner Osito, we were able to secure an exclusive single micro-lot, meaning this coffee exists only at Boo!. This MW64 lot showcases Ratnagiri’s innovative washed process and their meticulous fermentation approach, resulting in a profile that is far fruitier and livelier than what most people expect from Indian coffees.
This is a milestone coffee for us, and we’re incredibly proud to finally share Ratnagiri’s work with you.
