Ratnagiri Estate - Lab Room Naturals

From the roaster

Lab Room Series Sour Grape. Blackcurrant. Gooseberry. Clove. Expressive, slightly wild, but never messy. Lab Room is where coffee steps out of routine processing and into controlled experimentation. Small lots, tightly monitored fermentation, and intentional risk-taking push flavour further than usual. This Ratnagiri lot is a result of that mindset. The cherries are handled like a live experiment, with temperature, airflow, and drying all dialled in to shape the cup, not just preserve it. What shows up is loud and precise at the same time. Winey sour grape hits first, followed by dense blackcurrant, a tart gooseberry edge, and a dry clove spice that holds everything together. When you treat coffee like a lab, you do not just process it — you design it.
