Washed by monsoon’s, shaded by silver oaks in India’s “Pearl Mountains” a change is being established by Ashok Patre on.his family estate established in 1927. For the past 10 years, Patre has carefully managed Arabica coffee trees, focusing on ecologically ethical nurturing, selective harvest, careful sorting, and processing. Patre’s reach from commodity to specialty coffee is evident in this unique process in a nation not well-known for specialty coffee production.
This is a very limited offering so if your interest is piqued, act quickly.
Our principle roaster, Dennis has traveled elsewhere in India purchasing specialty coffees. He’s excited by this limited microlot supply we purchased through Cafe Imports. Most fine grade coffees like this are purchased by Japanese, Taiwanese and Australian roasters and rarely find their way to the U.S.
