Our coffee grid is designed to help you quickly find the perfect coffee for your taste
and brew method.
At Toby's, we've developed a tasting tool called "THE GRID". This measures the intensity
of the four key attributes found in espresso: acidity, flavour, finish, and mouthfeel.
Each coffee and blend is assigned an intensity level for each attribute and it must hit
this level before it can be released for sale. Our confidence in this program comes from
having a fixed recipe for each coffee, allowing us to understand and taste any changes
in environment, roast, or coffee quality.
Description
Ratnagiri Estate sits in the lush hills of India’s Western Ghats, where coffee grows alongside other crops in a biodiverse landscape. Producer Ashok Patre has spent years pushing beyond traditional Indian coffee processing, experimenting with natural, honey and fermentation methods to explore what else the country’s coffees can offer.
The cup is fruit-forward, with deep flavour intensity and a structure that gives the coffee plenty to unpack. Chocolate is a big part of the experience, but it shifts as you drink, revealing different layers at different stages. There’s a distinctly experimental edge to this one — a fun coffee that reflects both Ashok’s approach to processing and an origin we don’t see on rotation often.
