Father’s Day Coffee Gifts: Dad’s the Word!
Scrolling for Father’s Day coffee gifts? Here’s your answer!
The Best (and easiest…) Father’s Day Coffee Gifts!
You’re doing so well. You’ve got halfway through 2022 and remembered every birthday, baby shower, neighbour’s hamster’s birthday… Then – pow! – it’s Father’s Day. Whoa, that came around quickly. I thought it was in September (it is, in Australia, at least).
So, now you’re looking for Father’s Day coffee gifts. And it’s got to be something good. Dad has been pretty awesome this year, and you want to make sure he knows it!
Coffee for Father’s Day? It’s coming right up!
A Limited-Edition Coffee for Father’s Day
Each year, we source and roast a brand new coffee for Father’s Day. It’s always something special because Dad deserves no less, right?
But this year, we’re really excited. Like, really, really, REALLY EXCITED. Because this isn’t just coffee, this is Mar… super-exclusive Geisha Coffee!
We’ve named this dazzling coffee Dad’s the Word because no one can keep quiet about it. Those full-bodied toffee apple flavours are just too good to resist. Try a sip and see – you want to declare its awesomeness loud and proud, don’t you?
But it’s alright; you can… because mum’s not the word today!
What is Geisha Coffee?
Geisha coffee is an uber-rare variety of arabica coffee. It originates from the Gori Gesha forest in Ethiopia and regularly scores 90 points or more on the coffee cupping scale. Blimey!
So, what makes Geisha coffee rare? It’s largely down to the specific growing conditions the Geisha plants need. Harvesting Geisha coffee is also an expert skill – farmers have to show the trees meticulous care and pick the Geisha beans at just the right time.
A farm in Panama rediscovered this prized variety in 2004, and it’s been stealing the limelight ever since. A good handful of countries grow Geisha now, but it remains rare. So rare, in fact, that there are the first Geisha beans we’ve ever had in the Two Chimps roastery!

Geisha coffee tastes amazing. Out of this world. Coffee lovers worldwide hail its complex, fruity flavour and floral undertones. It’ll treat you to a stunning aftertaste, too.
Here at Two Chimps, we keep the roast of this Father’s Day coffee nice and light. This makes sure all the brightness and fruitiness in the Geisha beans can take centre stage. Because, oh boy, they certainly deserve to! We’d put them on The O2 if we could.
Let’s take a closer look at the tasting notes of this Dad’s the Word coffee:
Toffee Apple
Cherry Cola
Pineapple
It’s a checklist of everything Dad wants from his coffee. Toffee apple sweetness brings a satisfyingly full body, while notes of cheeky-tart cherry cola add a fresh finish. And then there’s the juicy, dribble-down-your-chin deliciousness of ripe pineapple. Awesome!
Behind the Scenes of Dad’s Coffee
Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia… Has Dad tried coffee from all the main coffee-growing countries?
We bet he’s never tried coffee from Laos!
Laos is a small, landlocked country in Southeast Asia. It’s famous for its waterfalls, historic temples and storybook scenery. But did you know it also harvests small lots of Geisha coffee? Groovy!
We sourced this Father’s Day special coffee from the Phetlamka Estate in Laos’s Bolaven Plateau. The Plateau sits up high in the country’s south and treats the coffee plants to their favourite conditions – think high elevations, a cool climate and rich, volcanic soil. You can practically see the Geisha plants smiling!
