Riverdale Estate is a farm which sits at an elevation of 1450 masl in South India’s Shevaroy region. This area is burgeoning with biodiversity and wildlife, and has a unique microclimate perfectly suited to producing coffee. What truly sets this region apart is its cool temperatures and misty mornings, which contribute to the gradual ripening of the coffee cherries, resulting in the more complex flavours present in the final cup.
This family-owned farm was founded around 100 years ago and is managed by Prakashan Balaraman, a young farmer who is driven to be a trailblazer in specialty coffee. The Estate produces several washed, natural, honey, and carbonic maceration coffees. Our microlot is made up of champagne naturals, which are handpicked and then triple washed before fermentation. The fruit is fermented with Italian champagne yeast for 80 hours, and then sun dried for up to 30 days.
The coffee is a delightful, complex, balanced cup, with tasting notes of apricot, passionfruit, nougat and a soft hazelnut finish.. We are humbled to be roasting it and we look forward to sharing it with you!
