Luna Geisha by Diego Bermudez of El Paraíso, Cauca
Say hello to Luna. She's named for Diego's daughter, and just like her sister, Letty, delivers a geisha unlike any other.
The intensity found in the cup begins with the deliberate harvesting of nearly over-ripe geisha cherry with high sugar concentration in the fruit.
An ozone bath to sterilise and a 12hr oxidation begin the process. The team at El Paraíso then depulp the coffee and transfer the seeds to a sealed stainless steel bioreactor where it ferments in a bath of cherry pulp distillate inoculated with strain of yeast used in with Diego's signature thermal shock method to lock in flavour, before gentle drying in El Paraíso's air condenser drying system.
Intense and fragrant—a nose of rose & lemon verbena leads to grape bubblegum, Turkish delight, strawberry milkshake and a sweet finish of berry jam.

This means anything ordered by midnight on Tuesday is guaranteed to ship on Wednesday, orders placed after this will ship by the following Wednesday at the latest. In some cases, items may ship sooner if we have fresh stock available.
🗺 Arrival depends on where you're based —within Johannesburg orders will often arrive the day after you receive tracking information, other major centres will usually receive orders 2 days after you get a tracking number in your inbox, outlying areas may take up to 3 days.
💫 We ship free to all of South Africa on orders over R849, for orders below this value a R85 delivery fee will be included at Checkout.
You can also opt for a store pickup at our Kramerville Roastery or Rosebank Cafe, just select this option at Checkout. We'll send you a "ready to collect" notification as soon as your order is, well, ready to collect.
🌍 We offer international shipping on all orders under 2kg (that's safely 6 boxes of coffee) Unfortunately, the South African postal service is infamous for being the total opposite of a vibe so our int'l shipping is handled via Aramex or DHL. This means that int'l shippings fees are a little steep, but you'll get your coffee in record time and will be able to track it all the way to your door.
🛫 To view shipping rates for your country, simply follow the usual process people follow when shopping online (fill a cart, proceed to checkout, and enter your address & contact deets). Easy peasy.
If shipping options do not load, it means we don't currently offer shipping to your country or region. Be sure to mail us so we can fix that.
