Tastes Like - Black Currant, Tamarind and Lingering-like finish Roasting Profile - Filter ( Light Roast )   Process - Lactic Carbonic Maceration Varietal - SL 9 Altitude - 1450 MASL   Producer Name - Prakashan Balaraman Harvest Year - 2023-2024  Coffee Producers Note - Hand picked cherries are sorted and rinsed with spring water where we remove any floats and under developed beans. Locally produced lactic strains are used to ferment with the cherries for 180 hours. We have purpose build tanks where we introduce CO2 to flush out the oxygen from the tanks to ferment the cherries and maintain the temperature throughout the process. Once the fermentation is complete we slow dry the cherries in raised bed to remove excess water and improve air circulation for even drying. Coffees are then rested for 6 weeks before we ship them for customers around the world. Roasters Note - At Riverdale Estate, Mr. Prakashan is deeply committed to cultivating a diverse range of plants while addressing the challenges of climate change. He works closely with the local community to ensure that everyone involved receives the best possible support. This dedication extends to the hardworking staff, whose efforts are crucial to the success of the coffee's. 

Tastes Like - Strawberries, Guava-like Dryness and Bananas Roasting Profile - Filter ( Light Roast )   Process - Champagne Cold Soak Varietal - SL 9 Variety (Ethiopian X Timor Hybrid) Altitude - 1450 MASL   Producer Name - Prakashan Balaraman Harvest Year - 2023-2024  Coffee Producers Note - Ripened cherries are hand-picked through this process. We triple-wash the cherries in natural spring water, carefully removing defective beans and floaters. We select cherries from the higher elevation block, which has an average Brix of 30%. We have developed a unique process where the cherries undergo fermentation in an oxygen-free environment, with the temperature consistently maintained at 5°C throughout the carbonic maceration process. Once fermentation is complete, the coffee cherries are dried on raised beds—10 days in full sun and 20 days in partial shade—until the moisture content reaches 12%. The coffee is constantly moved on the beds to ensure even drying. Roasters Note - This unique coffee from Riverdale Estate has been carefully profiled as a filter roast. We noticed a fascinating range of flavors when we roasted it for a shorter time, with the roast ending just after the first crack. The result is a cup that showcases notes of strawberries, guava-like dryness and bananas . It’s at its best when brewed on a Chemex.

Based on the ripeness and quality, only the bright red cherries were picked for this process. The ripe red cherries were carefully hand sorted and sanitised to remove the defects and floaters. The cherries were then left open air tanks over night. The coffees are transferred to large barrels the next morning. The selected yeast used for this process is selected red wine yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that is used by the wine industry for making red wine. This red wine yeast is known for fast fermentation and flavour development. This gives the coffees a fruiter flavour. Anaerobic form of fermentation was done with regular monitoring for 3 days. The Coffees were directly dried on raised beds in our green house with regular raking to achieve even drying for a period of 20 days. Roaster's Note -  This coffee is a great recommendation for a pour over. Its a good sweet cup with a balanced acidity. The roast profile is a filter roast with a targeted development time.

The coffee cherries are then placed in double walled stainless steel tanks and infused with my grandmothers home cultivated wine yeast recipe for a period of 72 hrs anaerobically which was used to make different types of wine at home. The produces a very fast fermentation and results in complex flavours and a bolder cup. They are then transferred in raised beds in the green house with thicker raking to retain Mucilage and moisture for 3 days and raked regularly for even drying. Roasters Note - A very fruity coffee with hints of pineapple and muscat grapes. The acidity is medium to high and a good syrupy body. It tastes really good on an Aeropress, bringing the syrupy body and the acidity of the coffee. The roast profile is Filter, with a rather short development time to bring out the delicate citrusy flavours.
