About Aether

A complex, fruit-forward coffee from India’s celebrated Ratnagiri Estate, crafted through an advanced oxygen-free fermentation process. Ratnagiri Lab Process Naturals is one of the boldest and most experimental coffees to emerge from India’s specialty scene. From the celebrated Ratnagiri Estate, this micro-lot undergoes a proprietary “Lab Fermentation” natural process designed to push the limits of flavour. The result is a cup that is as surprising as it is delicious — bursting with red berry and bright orange zest, followed by a distinctly savory umami finish that lingers with sophistication. Expect a cup that is sophisticated, juicy, and aromatic: Red berry sweetness – bold and fruit-forward, Bright orange zest – layered citrus lift, Umami depth – savoury, unexpected, yet balanced, Structured acidity – clean and dynamic finish. Every sip reveals new dimensions, making it a coffee to linger over and contemplate. This process creates unique acids and esters, intensifying fruitiness and producing a cup unlike any other Indian coffee. Combined with Ratnagiri’s meticulous farming practices, it demonstrates how science and tradition can unlock extraordinary flavour potential. We roast Ratnagiri Lab Process Naturals to a Medium Roast. This carefully tuned profile enhances its bold berry and citrus notes, while allowing the umami complexity to fully develop into a layered, adventurous cup that works beautifully as both espresso and filter brew. This is the coffee for the adventurous palate. If you’re a coffee lover who thrives on exploration and being surprised by flavour, this lot offers an experience unlike anything else. Bold, complex, and thought-provoking, it’s a true showcase of modern Indian coffee innovation.
