This coffee is sourced from the Okoluu Farmers' Group in the Guji region of Ethiopia, grown at an altitude between 2,000 and 2,150 meters. It is a natural processed coffee consisting of JARC varieties and local landraces. The cup profile features ripe berry sweetness, floral aromatics, bright citrus notes, and a creamy finish, with specific tasting notes of strawberry, cream, and rose.
Kresten Thogersen, originally from Melbourne, launched Father Carpenter as a pop up in January 2015 in a hidden courtyard in Berlin Mitte, and it became a permanent fixture within a year. For years the cafe shared its roasting operation with Fjord Coffee, but in 2023 Father Carpenter separated to become an independent roastery with its own identity and production. Their roasting philosophy is described as romantic and puritan, viewing the roaster's role as bringing flavor to the surface without imposing on it, resulting in coffees with sparkling acidity, subtle sweetness, and clear taste. Direct trade and ethical sourcing are central, with the team publishing an annual Transparency Report detailing their supply chain.
