Roaster thoughts :
A special culture which is a mix of yeast and bacteria can result in scorching very easily. We had to roast this coffee at low temperature and feed at an ever lower temperature. But this could easily compromise the flavours in final cup. Instead we took a different approach that resulted in the prominent notes overpowering the whole cupping room and the aroma was just intoxicating. This roast is one of our top 5 experimental profiles that has led to a very unique coffee. Enjoy its aroma, unique never had before flavours and juicy mouthfeel all at once.
The estate and efforts:
We all are familiar with the producer Mr. Ashok Patre and his family run estate Ratnagiri Estate. Our founder visited the farm back in the month of march 2021 when coffee processing was at its peak.
A day's visit to the estate to understand the farm, the processing techniques and the history behind the legacy was great. Our meeting began with knowing each other and talking and about the passion that runs Grey Soul Coffee as a brand.
Then it led to discussions about the specialty community and culture in our country right now. Moving on, we spoke about cup score, Q grading and how it varies from person to person and hence become highly subjective.
Then we spoke about international markets and a comparison between Indian and south American coffee. Then quickly moved on a long elaborate your of the farm where some coffee was milled and ready, some drying on raised beds, some drying out in the fields and hand garbling in works as final sorting was in process.
In the end, specialty coffee can be simply defined as the coffee that is of the best quality without comprises. This is exactly what this estate stands for and believes in.
