THE FARMER BEHIND

With a rich history dating back to 1920, Riverdale Estate has been a cherished family-owned business for three generations, dedicated to improving the quality of their coffee plants. Nestled in the breathtaking Eastern Ghat mountains of Yercaud, South India, this picturesque location sets the stage for exceptional coffee cultivation.

Prakashan Balaraman, a young and passionate coffee farmer, has fearlessly challenged traditional growing and processing practices. Over the past decade, Riverdale Estate has undergone a remarkable transformation, adopting modern farming techniques. Their commitment to innovation is evident in the state-of-the-art cupping lab, energy-efficient pulping station, drip irrigation systems, African-style raised beds for coffee drying, and a temperature-controlled storage room for post-harvest beans.

The SLN 9 beans are characterized by their uniform size and boldness. When brewed, they yield a syrupy body, medium acidity, and a delightful combination of hazelnut and soft spice flavors. 

The farmers prioritise the careful selection of cherries through the meticulous picking process. Only the selective, ripe cherries are handpicked by the trained pickers, as they firmly believe that quality picking directly translates to superior green beans.
