At Riverdale Estate, our commitment to excellence begins with the careful handpicking of only the ripest cherries.
Once harvested, we subject the cherries to a thorough triple washing process, meticulously removing any floaters and defective beans. We hand-select cherries with a Brix measurement of 25 or higher to ensure maximum sugar levels, setting the stage for a truly flavorful and exceptional cup.
The cherries then undergo fermentation in our purpose-built room, where we introduce Italian champagne yeast. By closely monitoring the pH and temperature during this critical stage, we achieve a fruit-forward and intricately nuanced cup profile.
Following fermentation, the cherries are sun-dried on raised beds for a duration of 30 days, allowing the beans to develop exceptional flavors.
A final resting period of 4 weeks further enhances the complexity and balance of the beans before they are ready for shipment.
