Riverdale by KC Roasters

From KC Roaster about Riverdale

Riverdale has made its mark in Indian Specialty Coffee, through a closely developed relationship with Cartel Coffee Roasters in Melbourne. The last few seasons they have produced some of the finest naturals coffees in India and have exported to Australia with great appreciation and recognition.
While we love our naturals coffee, we have been focusing on our collaboration with Riverdale to produce a finely curated washed coffee. This process unique produced for KC, starts off savoury, but develops with a thick rich caramel flavour, and finishes with soft notes of hazelnut.

And it tastes great just black, or with milk while watching the raindrops trickle down your windows.

what i want to remember 

this riverdale is good. different but good.
washed coffee is problem, esp for me. washed, sometimes means straight up “coffee” flavor.
though i cant discern the hazelnuts, i can definitely pick up on the caramelisation and the roasted flavor notes.
it’s a rich strong coffee that i liked best black made with my trusty aeropress go.
a great mid-day pick me up!
