Riverdale Scarlet

Grown by Prakash Balaraman at Riverdale Estate in the Shevaroy Hills — SLN9 at 1450 MASL.

Triple-washed, then fermented under CO₂ in a low-oxygen tank with hibiscus co-fermented alongside the cherries. Slow-dried on raised beds, then rested about six weeks.

A distinctive cup — citrus fruit, black tea, and maple syrup, with vibrant florals and a delicate hibiscus lift. Best for expressive pour overs, bright espressos, and small fruity milk drinks.
