The SuperSub® is for those who like to taste a little bit of a lot of specialty coffee.

You receive five new coffees each month. That means annually, SuperSub®'rs can expect to receive 60 different specialty coffees. Correct, no repeats. Ever. Coffee for the subscription is roasted on the third Tuesday of each month and shipped the same day to ensure they are received before the monthly Instagram live cupping the subsequent Sat.

This is our Edition catalogue where the details of each coffee in each Edition are recorded and kept forever.

DRY FERMENTED WASHED HEIRLOOM
BOMBE, SIDAMA, ETHIOPIA
2000 - 2400masl

APRICOT & NAARTJIE, CARAMEL & BLACK TEA

BUY AGAIN

An incredible example of the dry-fermented washed process from the Bombe Washing Station in Ethiopia. Grapefruit, complex caramelly character, and Earl Grey refinement. So big, so round, so good.

HORIZON LOT 111
WASHED RED BOURBON
HUYE MOUNTAIN, KIGOMA, RWANDA
1650masl

NECTARINE, RED BERRIES, FLORAL & CARAMEL

Sourced from around 1200 subsistence farmers near the Huye Mountain and processed by a wash station with breathtaking views of the Southern Province. This washed iteration brings nectarine, red berries and a caramel to the cup. For the academically inclined or those who like to play ‘spot the difference’, coffee No. 28 is the natural process iteration of the same cherry.

KOJI FERMENTED MARAGOGYPE
ANAEROBIC THERMAL SHOCKED MARAGOGYPE
CAUCA, COLOMBIA
1960masl

TROPICAL, VANILLA, CARAMEL, STRAWBERRY

Honestly, this one is crazy and there’s way too much to say about it for this little box. Here are the spark notes. Be on the lookout for the longer write up when it’s released – Absurdly complex – Kogi fermented – this is the same bacteria used to ferment soy sauce and other umami things – Insanely good – Maragogype – a very large bean that’s very annoying to roast but very delicious to drink – Ridic tasting notes of cherry cola, pinot noir, neroli – Extremely limited – only 200kg were produced, we got 50kg, you get 100g.

KARIMIKUI AB
WASHED SL-28 & SL-34
KIRINYAGA, KENYA
1600MASL

BLUEBERRY, LEMON, VANILLA & BLACK TEA

BUY AGAIN

The Karimikui washing station in Kenya never disappoints. This guy, little brother to Karimikui AA, delivers big blueberry, lemon, vanilla & black tea. The beans might be ever so slightly smaller in size but like most little siblings, they pack a punch. A soft, sweet, floral and juicy punch.

YOLANDA URREA ARITA

PINEAPPLE, KIWI, GREEN APPLE, ALMOND

BUY AGAIN

Yes, another tropical fruit bomb from Copán 💁🏻‍♀️ Grown by Yolanda Urrea Arita on a humble biodynamic 2ha farm a few doors down from cult fave, Norma Iris, and processed by the same mill as the macerated natural from Hugo Abraham Chinchilla. Look out for tropical flavours of juicy pineapple, kiwi, green apple and almond.

NAFKOT ADMASU
NATURAL HEIRLOOM
YIRGACHEFFE, ETHIOPIA

2150masl

RASPBERRY AND PEACH WITH BLACK TEA, LIME & HONEY

BUY AGAIN

Fact: we go absolutely nuts for a Natural Ethiopian. Also fact: this newest Natural Ethiopian comes from the tiny 0.5ha farm owned by Nafkot Admasu in Gedicho, Idido. Organically grown (but not certified 'cos money), handpicked and sun-dried. More facts: fresh and delicate notes of sweet apricot, peach and passionfruit make this an utter delight to drink.

25

NESTOR LASSO
ANAEROBIC NATURAL BOURBON SIDRA
HUILA, COLOMBIA
1700 - 1850masl

TROPICAL, VANILLA, CARAMEL, STRAWBERRY

From third generation 24-year-old coffee producer, Nestor Lasso comes this mind-blowing strawberry milkshake-esque sensation. There isn't a treatment these cherries haven't received – they're floated, anaerobically fermentated, oxidated, fermented under water, washed, termally shocked and then dried over 18-24 days in a parabolic drying system 😮‍💨

MARIANO CALLEJAS
WASHED JAVA
OCOTAL, NICARAGUA
1700masl

FLORAL, SMOOTH, SWEET, CHOCOLATE & BLACK TEA

A washed java that narrates the story of a resilient family’s pursuit for high quality coffee and fair pricing. Grown by Mariano Rafael Montealegre Callejas on his farm, Finca Los Nubarrones, and processed by the Montealegre sisters at the mill they started in response to the high demand for transparent Nicaraguan coffee. Round, smooth and delightful.

ANAEROBIC NATURAL CASTILLO
VALLE DEL CAUCA, COLOMBIA
1600-1800masl

PASSION FRUIT, APRICOT, JASMINE, BERRIES

BUY AGAIN

A castillo masquerading as a geisha produced by four farmers and sent to Finca Inmaculada for processing as part of their Fellows Farm Programme. On arrival, the cherries are cleaned, sorted and treated to a six-day anaerobic fermentation that lifts the acidity and reduces sugar content. They are then dried over 15 days using a high-tech vacuum system. The result of the 21 day processing is elegance in a cup.

AHUACHAPÁN, EL SALVADOR

PEAR, MARZIPAN, CITRUS, MILK CHOCOLATE

One of those coffees you’ll never tire of.

B-40 by DIEGO BERMUDEZ
ANAEROBIC WASHED PINK BOURBON
CAUCA, COLOMBIA
1930masl

ORANGE RIND, PEACH, GINGER BEER, VIOLET FLORALS

SOLD OUT

The experimentation at Finca El Paraiso continues. Our latest release from one of coffees most exciting producers involves his signature techniques, but with a fermentation driven by yeast isolates derived from pineapple. We usually refer to Diego's coffees as hyperprocessed, and the explanation of the process will make it apparent why (click the black button to read the full process). But the tl;dr version is that Diego and his team are masters of intentional processing to target distinct flavour profiles full of character.

13

OSCAR CHACÓN
BLACK HONEY CATURRA & CATUAI
ALAJUELA, COSTA RICA
1500-1700masl

MACERATED STRAWBERRY, CHERRY, PLUM, DARK CHOC

We’re not supposed to have favourites - all coffees should be appreciated for what they are - so we can’t say that this is our favourite. 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.

HUGO ABRAHAM CHINCHILLA
MACERATED NAT. CATUAI ROJO & PARAINEMA
COPÁN, HONDURAS

1400masl

LIME, NAARTJIE, RIPE FRUIT, TOFFEE, CACAO NIB

Buy again

This macerated natural comes from specialty coffee newcomer, Hugo Abraham Chinchilla, from a Father Fan Fave region, Copan. It’s another firm favourite of ours and is currently the bean inside the 4WKS x Father Coffee seasonal release. If you’re after cosiness in a cup, this is your coffee - big citrus, ripe strawberry and cacao nib.

ODACO by DAYE BENSA
NATURAL HEIRLOOM VARIETALS
SIDAMA, ETHIOPIA
2000-2200masl

LITCHI, APRICOT, FRUIT PUNCH, MINT, FLORAL & COMPLEX

Buy again

And this might just be the best one we've ever released. That's a bold claim, we know, but this day-lot from Daye Bensa's Gatta farm is utterly exceptional. 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.

PEACH ICED TEA, STRAWBERRY, LITCHI, HONEY

BUY AGAIN

This coffee is fondly known as the coffee that helped our roaster, Luke, obtain the highly coveted title as 2023's 6th Best Barista in Potchefstroom. But it has many more redeeming traits: 1. It's another Diego coffee with the letter 'Y' in it which means its yamazing. 2. It goes through an extremely scientific process (which you can and should read by pressing the black button to the right) to lock in and amplify the flavour. 3. Lactobacillus driven fermentation. 4. Diego's signature move of thermal shock 🤌

EL BORBOLLON
WASHED TYPICA
SANTA ANA, EL SALVADOR

1500masl

MARMALADE, RAISIN, ALMOND, MILK CHOCOLATE

SUB EXCLUSIVE

This month's subscription exclusive comes from the renowned El Borbollon mill operated by the Alvarez family. The lot is an interesting one, 100% typica, but selected from a handful of different farms based around the Santa Ana volcano. Borbollon manage the full process from handpicking through to milling for export and have delivered an exceptional lot with great clarity and more-ish roundness in the cup.

Buy again

Third generation farmer, Wicho, inherited land his grandfather purchased in the 1960's which is now known as Santa Isabel (in the Dec release partially because it has the name Santa in it).

Terrace grown cherry is pickedwhen red ripe, floated, pulped, fermentedthen washed, dried on shaded racks. Easy drinking, uncomplicated and elegant.

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.

NECTARINE, BLACK TEA, BERRY, FLORAL, HONEY

BUY AGAIN

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.

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.

WASHED
KIRINYAGA, KENYA
SL28 &SL34

1700-1900masl

BLACKCURRANT, GRAPEFRUIT, CARAMEL, BIG & JUICY

Buy again

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.
