Coffee cherries are first sterilized in an ozone bath, then placed into a bio-fermenter and inoculated with a mossto culture. Fermentation occurs in an anaerobic environment for 48 hours. The cherries are then depulped and fermented aerobically for an additional 20 hours before being fully washed and dried on raised beds for approximately 16 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1659\" data-end=\"1662\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1664\" data-end=\"1697\"\u003eThe Story of Ratnagiri Estate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1699\" data-end=\"1944\"\u003eThe story of Ratnagiri Estate begins in 1927, when the late Mr. Patre K. Shivappaiya acquired the land and began planting coffee. By 1934, the estate celebrated its first harvest, laying the foundation for nearly a century of coffee cultivation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"2248\"\u003eLocated in the Western Ghats—a protected biodiversity hotspot and home to a nearby tiger reserve—Ratnagiri is intentionally managed to support the surrounding ecosystem. Wildlife corridors, dense shade cover, and low-intervention farming practices promote long-term environmental health and resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2250\" data-end=\"2541\"\u003eAshok Patre leads the estate with a forward-thinking vision, while Divya Patre plays a critical role in cherry selection and harvest training. Her close work with picking teams ensures only ripe, uniform cherries are harvested, forming the basis of Ratnagiri’s clean and expressive profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2543\" data-end=\"2841\"\u003eSince India’s export liberalization in 1994, Ratnagiri has shared its coffee with roasters across the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia, and the Middle East. Today, nearly all production is dedicated to high-end specialty coffee, driven by scientific precision and continuous experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2843\" data-end=\"3047\"\u003eAshok and his team continue to push boundaries—not only to produce exceptional coffee, but to help define what’s possible for Indian specialty coffee. We’re proud to be a small part of that ongoing story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 2\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Picacho Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"6oz","offer_id":47718659686617,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12oz","offer_id":47718659719385,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kilo","offer_id":47718659752153,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1169\/7396\/files\/F7CB5375-F8AA-45CD-A5A0-B018A37750DC.jpg?v=1775261374","url":"https:\/\/picacho.coffee\/products\/ratnagiri-estate-india-anaerobic-washed","provider":"Picacho Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
