INDIA-RIVERDALE ESTATE PEACH FERMENTATION

This lot comes from Riverdale Estate, a specialty-focused coffee farm located in the Shevaroy Hills of Tamil Nadu, India, at elevations between 1,200–1,500 MASL. Grown under native shade with nutrient-rich soils and a distinct monsoon climate, the estate focuses on precision farming and controlled processing to produce expressive, high-quality coffees. This coffee undergoes a peach co-fermentation process, where freshly harvested, fully ripe cherries are fermented in a controlled environment with the addition of peach, enhancing the interaction between fruit sugars and the coffee mucilage. The result is a layered and vibrant cup profile, where the fermentation amplifies natural sweetness and introduces delicate fruit complexity while maintaining structure and clarity. Expect a cup that is juicy and aromatic, with ripe peach sweetness, soft stone fruit acidity, and a rounded finish supported by subtle cocoa undertones, reflecting Riverdale Estate’s progressive approach to processing and flavour development.
