Ratnagiri – Jasmine Royale - Co-Ferment

Ratnagiri Jasmine Royale is a transparent co-fermented microlot created to explore intense floral aromatics, elegant sweetness, and tea-like clarity through controlled culture fermentation and jasmine flower integration. This microlot is produced from selectively harvested ripe cherries grown at Ratnagiri Estate at an elevation of 4400 feet. The coffee comes from the GODOWN Patte block and uses the SLN 9 varietal, known for producing structured cups with excellent clarity and refined acidity. The cherries were harvested at a Brix level of 25.4, indicating strong sugar concentration and excellent ripeness potential. After harvest, only the ripest cherries were selected and floaters were removed before processing. This is a jasmine flower co-fermented coffee. During fermentation, lactic acid bacteria and specially cultivated microbes extracted and developed from jasmine flowers were introduced into sealed bio fermenters along with the coffee cherries. The coffee then underwent a 56-hour Culture Process natural fermentation in a carbon dioxide rich environment, allowing the floral microbial culture to deeply influence aroma development and cup complexity. After fermentation, the cherries were transferred directly onto raised beds for slow drying. To further intensify and preserve the floral character, jasmine flowers were also introduced during the drying stage. The coffee was then dried slowly for 29 days with constant stirring, enabling stable moisture reduction and gradual flavor development while retaining aromatic elegance. The beans are roasted Light Plus to preserve the floral expression, layered sweetness, and delicate tea-like structure of the cup.
