Ratnagiri Estate: A Classic Cup from the Western Ghats
At Dancing Goat Coffee Roasters, we’re passionate about sharing unique, traceable coffees that tell a story in every sip. Our latest offering, Ratnagiri Estate, is no exception. Grown in the lush highlands of the Western Ghats, this washed Arabica delivers a clean, nuanced profile that celebrates both tradition and terroir.
From the Hills of Ratnagiri
“Ratnagiri” translates to "Pearl Mountain" — a fitting name for the estate nestled in the biodiverse hills of Chikmagalur, Karnataka. This estate is renowned for its sustainable farming practices, elevation (ranging from 1200–1400 masl), and a deep-rooted commitment to quality. The washed processing method allows the true character of the bean to shine through, resulting in a cup that's both balanced and expressive.
Flavour Notes: Comfort Meets Complexity
Brew a cup and you'll be greeted with velvety notes of milk chocolate, followed by a gentle tartness of ripe cherries and the sweet depth of sun-dried raisins. This trio creates a cup that’s comforting yet complex — perfect for both your daily ritual and slow weekend mornings.
Brew It Your Way
Our Ratnagiri Estate beans come whole, allowing you to grind them fresh for each brew. Whether you prefer the clarity of a V60 pour-over, the richness of a French Press, or the intensity of an espresso, these beans adapt beautifully to different methods.
For our recommendation:
● Pour-over: highlights the chocolate and cherry notes with a smooth body.
● Espresso: brings out raisin sweetness and rounded acidity.
● French Press: deepens the chocolaty character and adds a plush mouthfeel.
Why We Love It
This coffee is more than just delicious. It represents everything we stand for at Dancing Goat — ethical sourcing, quality roasting, and honoring India’s rich coffee-growing heritage. Ratnagiri Estate is a staple for those who love a clean, medium-bodied cup with a rich, approachable flavor.
