One of the most respected estates in the country & abroad, the story began in 1927, when Mr. Ashok's late grandfather, Patre K Shivappaiya, embarked on a remarkable journey. With a vision and a passion for coffee, he acquired this very land, then partly a jungle. With unwavering dedication, he began clearing the land and planting the first coffee seeds in early 1929. Patience and perseverance became their guiding principles as they nurtured these young trees, finally welcoming the first harvest in 1934. Ratnagiri Estate is nestled in the Western Ghats of South India. As part of a tiger reserve, we peacefully coexist with the rich wildlife, contributing to the biodiversity and sustainability of the region
