ABOUT THIS COFFEE BY ASHOK AND DIVYA PATRE

This coffee was produced by 3rd generation producer Ashok Patre and his wife, Divya. Over the past year, Mr Patre has collaborated with a renowned food scientist and a small team of microbiologists to design and create a bespoke processing lab. 

Mr. Patre's processing methods are both intentional and impressive. He understands that Indian terroir and varieties can only produce specialty coffee of a particular character and quality . Consequently, he has developed processing methods that manipulate the flavours of the final product to create something unique and exceptional. While this approach can sometimes result in “over-processed” or unclean coffees , many of Mr. Patre’s lots are remarkably clean, complex, and distinctive. Through constant research and  scientifically grounded practices , he’ s able to guide fermentations with remarkable precision.

36H ANAEROBIC PROCESS

This coffee underwent anaerobic fermentation in custom-made bioreactors for 36 hours with lab-isolated microbes before drying on raised beds for 25 days to dry to the desired moisture level.
