To further eliminate any underdeveloped beans, the cherries are floated in spring water. This process allows the underdeveloped beans to float to the surface and be removed. The sorted cherries are then transferred to a purpose-built fermentation room, where they undergo a 72-hour fermentation process. During this time, the temperature and pH levels are closely monitored and controlled. This meticulous monitoring helps to ensure consistency across all lots of coffee. Following the completion of fermentation, the cherries are sun-dried on raised beds for a period of 25-30 days. This slow drying process allows the moisture within the cherries to gradually evaporate, resulting in uniformity in the cup. The raised beds, designed in the African style, facilitate efficient water drainage and promote proper airflow around the coffee beans, aiding in even drying.

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.
