26001_MostoAnoxicWashed_Chandragiri_RatnagiriEstate_India (UK)

for the_narrative:
india is not yet synonymous with specialty coffee, yet this coffee will convince you that it should be. ashok patre at ratnagiri estate, out of chikmagalur, southern india is pioneering post-harvest processing in the region, with state-of-the-art, precision fermentation. this is a high intervention coffee, reintroducing coffee fruit mosto and vacuum-impregnation during processing to intensify coffee flavour.

this coffee is part of a collaboration with stuart ritson (of untitled coffee and art / osito green coffee company), offering a pair of coffees from ratnagiri estate. the first is this mosto anoxic washed-processed chandragiri and the second is untitled's anaerobic natural-processed catuai.

both coffees were roasted on kosu's IMF RM6 roaster using constant temperature settings to the same end bean temperature.

# traceability
Once cherries are harvested, they are fermented as-is, fruit still intact, for 48 hours. The softened cherries, now slightly darker in colour, are then placed inside a bioreactor, hermetically sealed and placed under a vacuum. When the vacuum is released, coffee fruit mosto is driven into the seed - this process significantly enhances mass transfer rates. After ‘vacuum impregnation’, the coffee is demucilaginated and both the coffee and the mosto are placed in a bioreactor and fermented for 36 hours in an anoxic environment. The coffee is then washed to remove residual mosto and subsequently placed in a dark room to dry slowly for 14 days. The coffee is finally dehulled and cleaned prior to export.
