Bean Day is back with another tour, this time featuring a delightful offering from India!

This is my first time roasting coffee from this region, and let me tell you, it’s a cup that’s sure to kickstart your day. It’s produced by the Ratnagiri Estate in the Western Ghats, a coffee producer that has been harvesting coffee since 1934.

The aroma and fragrance of this coffee are simply irresistible. It has a rich and complex flavor profile, with notes of chocolate, fig, and caramel. The aftertaste is sweet and smooth, reminiscent of rooibos tea, with a hint of mild citric acidity. The mouthfeel is silky and velvety, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

What sets this coffee apart is the unique science behind its sequential washed processing. The coffee undergoes a 24-hour fermentation in cherry before being depulped and fermented again for 18 hours in mucilage. This meticulous process ensures that the coffee retains its natural flavors and aromas. Finally, the coffee is fully washed and dried on raised beds for 14 days, resulting in a cup of exceptional quality.

This coffee is definitely a must-try for all coffee enthusiasts and caffeinated lunatics out there! 🤪
