Riverdale Estate's Watermelon Co-Ferment Anaerobic is the third in our line of fruit fermented coffee and wow, is it delicious!
Riverdale Estate has been growing coffee in the Shavroy Hills of Southern India since 1920, and now with the three generations of farmers, producing amazing coffee. In 2005 Prakashan Balaraman took over the operations of the farm and put huge efforts into a focus on specialty coffee. We all get to enjoy the fruits of his labour!
This very special coffee is fermented in air tight bags, tightly packed with pineapple fruit for 72 hours, before being sun-dried on raised beds for 25-30 days. The result is an amazingly complex coffee. This is liquid candy, with a fizzy sweetness of watermelon sherbet and grape soda, paired with a caramel sundae, smothered in malt, nuts and chocolate. Insane.
Absolutely delicious! Be sure to check out our other co-ferments with Peach or Pineapple as well.
