  • Huila, Colombia
    1780masl

    BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN. PEACH, JASMINE, CANDYLIKE

    It's no secret that Nestor Lasso and his brother, Adrian at El Diviso are producing some of the best coffees in the world at the moment. And this one's no exception.

    To achieve a cup of beauty, elegance, and clarity, Nestor puts this humble Ethiopian Landrance through one of his signature advanced processes:

    Ripe cherries are selected through floating and sealed in cans for a 40hr anaerobic ferment. They're then depulped and oxidised with mucilage over 40hrs. Following this, a 12hr submerged fermentation with leachates and finally, a 65ºC thermal shock. Dried over 20 days in parabolic solar dryers

  • HUILA, COLOMBIA 
    1780masl

    GREEN MELON, SHERBET, BROWN BUTTER, BISCOFF

    Nestor's process on the lesser-known Tabi varietal is as complex as the effervescent coffee itself. Ripe cherries selected through floating are fermented anaerobically for 80hrs, oxidised for 25hrs, pulped and oxidised again with mucilage for 12hrs. And somehow this is still just the beginning. He then submerges the coffee in mosto (liquid collected from the initial fermentation) for a 36hr submerged fermentation at 40°C and then(finally) drying in temperature controlled parabolic dryers for three weeks 😮‍💨

  • HUILA, COLOMBIA
    1800masl

    NECTARINE, LITCHI, RASPBERRY, LEMON VERBENA

    Adrian's intricate honey process begins on the farm, where coffee cherries primed for honey processing are hand-picked and floated. They're then oxidised for 12hrs, anaerobically fermented for 60hrs, depulped and oxidised a 3rd time for 32hrs with leachates collected during oxidisation. Dried in parabolic solar dryers over 20 days.

    Expect a cup of immense flavour and depth – bright and juicy nectarine, raspberry, and passionfruit

  • HUILA, COLOMBIA
    1800masl

    GREEN APPLE, BLOOD ORANGE, MINT, MUSK, ROSE

    Adrian expertly wields temperature and time across this many-step process on mature Red Bourbon cherries to deliver a complex cup overflowing with character, unmistakable Turkish delight and pink cachous sweets.

    Oxidised cherries are anaerobically fermented for 70hrs, allowed to rest for 28hrs at 38°C, and then anaerobically fermented again for 30hrs. They're then pulped and submerged for 18hrs in leachates collected from a previous processing and then (finally) slow-dried in solar dryers over 3 phases.cardamom seeds and another yeast, thermal shock washed, dried in a dehumidifier. 🫨

  • HUILA, COLOMBIA
    1780masl

    PEACH, APRICOT, CHERRY, GUAVA, MANGO

    There's nothing but absurdity here – both in flavour and in Nestor's processing treatment.

    Only ripe cherries are handpicked, oxidised for 48hrs with mosto, floated in cold water, and thermal shock washed at 50ºC, before being anaerobically fermented for 80hrs with brewers yeast (commonly used in beer brewing and winemaking). Dried mechanically for 12hrs and then in a parabolic solar dryer for 15 days.

    Huge apricot, enormous cherry, massive mango makes for a cup so big, so indulgent, so tropical, and so so good!

But we can say that we kept on going back for a slurp when it was on the cupping table. We can say that it lingered on the mind for a while. We can also say that we love it and we can tell you why:
    - It's grown in Costa Rican volcanic soil which is just quite cool.
    - Las Lajas's famous black honey process sees coffee dried over 20 days with four daily rotations and tastes like juicy ripe purple plums, syrupy black cherries and choc dipped strawberries – all things you'd be crazy to not love.

    Layered, complex, delicious. Look out for everything! Litchi and apricot upfront leads to strawberry, mango, and a hint of mint, with the most aromatic florals lingering the whole way through. Exquisite however you brew it, but we're particularly loving the Muscat d'Alexandrie litchi-ness it sings with on filter.

    CINNAMON, TROPICAL FRUIT, CUSTARD

    Say hello-ho-ho to Christmas in a cup 🎄
    Tastes like a classic Indonesian with big festive flair. And we have only Tuang to thank for this. Post picking they spray the cherries with starter culture made with fermented palm juice before sealing them for a 240–360 hour anaerobic fermentation that concentrates all that funky bigness.

Edition 001

ROASTED & SHIPPED 21.11.23 LIVE CUPPING 25.11.23 COFFEES 1–5
  • NATURAL
    VALLE DEL CAUCA, COLOMBIA
    GEISHA
    1800masl

    ORANGE BLOSSOM FLORALS, LEMON VERBENA, CARAMEL, ORANGE, GREEN GRAPE

    We couldn't think of a better coffee to get the SuperSub going. Elegant, immacualate, delightful. This geisha is the reason the first edition was limited to just 21 subscribers. It's all the green we had left, and now it's gone.

  • WASHED 

    AGARO, ETHIOPIA

    HEIRLOOM VARIETALS

    2040masl

    NECTARINE, BLACK TEA, BERRY, FLORAL, HONEY

    We can never really get enough of Agaro. And one of our faves from the region is Mustefa who in addition to growing coffee on his own farm has set up a small wetmill called Beshasha to process his and outgrowers’ coffee. Owing to the scarcity of water in the region, this lot is something closer to a light honey having spent just 8hrs in fermentation tanks post pulping.

  • WASHED 

    OCOTAL, NICARAGUA

    MARACATURRA

    1400masl

    GOOSEBERRY, DRIED APRICOT, GREEN APPLE, VANILLA

    If you are a Father veteran you will know that each year we have a Norma Iris Maragogype that we all froth for. This year was an exception and much to our dismay, there was none. This Maracaturra from sisters, Martha & Ana of Finca Bethania, was the compromise and one we're not upset about. The beans are big, the flavour bigger and the heart of sisters, Martha & Ana, who run the community driven farm & mill, even larger.

  • ANAEROBIC WASHED

    CARANAVI, BOLIVIA 

    CATURRRA, BOURBON & TYPICA

    1650masl

    ROUND & CLEAN, CHERRY, WALNUT, MILK CHOCOLATE.

    Our first SuperSub® exclusive. Not every lot that features will be available in the general Father release. This is one of them. Savour this anaerobic lot from pioneering and prolific Bolivian producers, The Rodriguez Family.

  • WASHED
    KIRINYAGA, KENYA
    SL28 &SL34
    1700-1900masl

    BLACKCURRANT, GRAPEFRUIT, CARAMEL, BIG & JUICY


    Our affinity for Karimikui is no secret, lots from this station feature almost perennially. This season's AA is a perfect expression of the classic Kenyan profile – clear, considered and crisp.

    This lot is from the Rungeto Farmers Co-op and processed at the Karimikui factory in the traditional double washed style that yields the beautiful blackcurrant notes we never seem to tire of. Look out for fresh releases in the SuperSub from these producers early next year, they never disappoint.
