This is the first coffee from India that we have offered in quite a few years. It comes from Ratnagiri Estate, Ratnagiri being a Hindi word that translates in English to Pearl Mountain. This coffee delivers fruit flavors of ripe papaya, dried date, green grape and lemongrass. An exotic, fruity mixture.
The farm is Rainforest Alliance certified, meaning they are good and conscientious environmental stewards of the land. Three layers of shade cover, make for slower growing, more flavorful coffee, but also makes it a haven for birds and other animals. The property hosts many wild animal species including monkeys, wild boar, tigers, leopards and from time to time, elephants. This is one of the leading coffee farms in India.
Some Serious Select coffees derive from international coffee competitions which seek to rank the best coffee in a particular country in a given year, some are from private auctions - like the world renowned Hacienda Esmeralda from Panama - and still others are the product of experimentation by growers pushing the quality envelope.
Willoughby's participates in many events, sometimes as jurors, always with interest.
These highly sought after and often more expensive coffees are what Serious Select is all about.
