RATNAGIRI NATURAL CUT is a natural SLN 9 from Ratnagiri Estate in Chikmagalur, Karnataka, grown at 1,310 m. The cherry dries whole, and the fermentation brings juicy red fruit and a sweetness that reads jammy rather than clean.

We roast it medium, to Depth 46, after you order, in New Delhi. The body is heavy and lingers well past the last sip, with a slightly funky edge on the finish. It suits pour-over and AeroPress, and it makes an adventurous shot. It is not for everyone. If you want a clean cup, take the Washed Cut from the same estate.

Storing it

  1. Where it grows

    Same estate as the Washed Cut and the same SLN 9, grown at 1,310 m in the Attigundi area of Chikmagalur. Ratnagiri runs more than 15 processing protocols in a season, so the farm and the varietal stay put and one variable changes. Here the variable is the fruit left on the bean: the cherry goes down to dry whole.

  2. How it is processed

    A natural is dried whole, so the fruit ferments around the seed as it dries. That brings bold fruit, and a sweetness that reads jammy rather than clean. The estate pushes its natural cuts for red fruit and jam, and this one is pushed to its expressive edge. The edge is a slightly funky finish. It belongs to the coffee.

  3. How we roast it

    Depth 46, medium, roasted after you order in New Delhi. Roast a natural like this darker and the fruit is the first thing to go. At medium the fruit leads, the sweetness stays jammy and the body stays heavy, lingering well past the last sip.

  4. Fair warning

    This is not a clean cup. The funk on the finish is real, and some people read it as a fault. We read it as the point, which is why we say it is not for everyone. Start with a filter brew. If it is too much, the Washed Cut from the same estate is the quieter coffee.

05questions
Is it going to taste funky?

A little. The finish carries a slightly funky edge, which is the natural process showing. Before it you get juicy red fruit and jammy sweetness. If you want a clean cup, the Washed Cut from the same estate is the one.

How is it different from Ratatone?

Ratatone is a Catuai, a 54-hour lactic culture natural roasted medium light to Depth 25: floral and layered, bright without shouting. This is SLN 9, a natural roasted medium to Depth 46: red fruit and jam over a heavy body.

Can I make espresso with it?

Yes, it is one of the three brews it is listed for. Start at 18 g in, 40 g out, 94 °C, in 28–32 s. It is jammy and heavy, which is not everyone's idea of espresso. Taste it black before you add milk.

Which brewer suits it best?

Pour-over or AeroPress. A filter lets the red fruit and jam come through before the funk. Choose the Pourover/V60/Kalita/Origami grind or the Aeropress grind. If you grind at home, Whole Bean keeps longest.

What if I do not like it?

The First Bag Promise covers a first order. Tell us within 7 days of delivery and we will send a different coffee of the same size, once, at no charge.
