Los Naranjos Carbonic Natural Geisha, Santa Ana

About This Coffee

A Geisha variety coffee from El Salvador, grown in volcanic soils in the Santa Ana region. Cherries are forest-grown, handpicked, floated, and processed using carbonic maceration: whole cherries are placed in stainless steel tanks filled with CO2 every 3 hours for 72 hours, then rested a further 24 hours, for a total 96-hour fermentation. Coffee is then slowly dried over 21 days in three controlled phases on raised beds. Flavor notes include mango, fig, peach, floral honey, and melted chocolate. Light-bodied with old-world complexity.

Father Coffee

When the founders went looking for specialty coffee in Johannesburg around 2012, they could not find what they wanted and decided to build it themselves. Father Coffee opened its first roastery and cafe in Braamfontein in 2013, and the operation has since expanded to include a flagship at Kramerville, an immense warehouse space with an in house bakery behind glass. Head roaster Chad Goddard oversees a program that releases around 60 different coffees each year, sourced from Ethiopia, Guatemala, and other origins worldwide. Father also operates a bakery, wine bar, and wine shops, with a curated list of natural and minimal intervention wines that mirrors the care brought to the coffee. The team trains baristas to identify defects through rigorous palate development and hosts cupping sessions as standard quality control. Father won the South African Barista Championship in 2024.
