Zeo Geisha by El Paraíso

About This Coffee

This Geisha coffee comes from Finca El Paraíso in Colombia, crafted by Diego Bermudez using an innovative zero-fermentation process. Cherries of optimal ripeness are hand-picked, immersed in an ozone bath, frozen at -40°C within 4 hours, then vacuum dried using zeolites and negative pressure — preserving the Geisha's natural structure and flavour without heat. The result is a light-bodied cup with progressive stone fruit acidity, round sweetness, and notes of jasmine, lemongrass, apricot, and litchi.

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.
