Coffee For Dad

by Michelle Faber

Much ado nowadays pairing gourmet coffees with matching desserts, or chocolate varieties. We've discovered something new for you to pair. Why not pair a premium coffee with the unique and individual personality of someone you care about.

Dads are all so different. For a fun change of gift-giving pace, this Father's Day find the perfect gift for Dad by his 'character'.

Interestingly every coffee has its own character profile, it's own nature. Wouldn't it be a novel and interesting thought to match the style of a coffee gift, to Dad's own very special style?

YOUR SWEET DAD

Let's take for example, Dad has a very sweet disposition, very low key, never a mean word shall pass his lips; well in this case give Dad the gift of coffee highlighted by a Low Acidity, Sweet Tasting Profile. Your choice of fabulous gourmet coffee's defined by this character profile would be:

Sweet Tasting with a light body and low acidity.
  • India Malabar 'Monsooned Voyage'
  • Monsooned or aged by the elements...this Dad has grown better with time.

  • India Mysore 'Gold Nuggets'
  • From out of the gold fields of India...how can you say better how much Dad means to you...Great as Gold!

  • Organic Galapagos Island Estate
  • As rare as these very special beans are...such is your Dad!

  • Mexico 'Spirit of the Aztec'
  • Here's to the "Man of Supreme Spirit!"

  • Jamaica Blue Mountain
  • There's a mystique surrounding this coffee...and the man. The ultimate in value.

  • Papua New Guinea
  • These beans are grown in excluded a well hidden location accessible only by foot. Here's just the thing for the quiet demure Dad!

  • Brazil Santos
  • A mild coffee with a bit of a nutty taste...who'd know that behind the calm facade there lies a bit of a nut!

YOUR DYNAMO DAD

On the other hand, Dad might be bold and daring...robust...speaking his mind in just about any situation. Match "Rambo Dad" to a gift of coffees that are Bold Tasting, Heavy Body and High Acidity. This coffee combination would be:

Bold taste with a heavy body and high acidity.
  • French Roast
  • They don't get more robust than this! Deep, dark...stands up to just about anything.

  • Ethiopia Yirgacheffe
  • A coffee with the most varied and distinctive flavor, for the Dad with a spectrum of moods.

  • Ethiopia Longberry
  • This coffee, also known as Abyssinia is the father of all coffees...the original coffee. For the Dad basked in originality.

  • Kenya AA
  • Demonstrating a stoic solid body and penetrating flavor...representative of the strong willed man!

  • Zambia Terranova Estate
  • This African coffee features extremely complex flavors. A great match for the deeper thinkers, the analytical, the complex.

YOUR STYLED DAD

If Dad is artful and sophisticated in nature, you can best suit him with a lovely array of coffees with Winey Taste, Light Body, with High Acidity. For this master of style present the following:

Winey taste with a light body and high acidity.
  • Santo Domingo 'Bani Especiale'
  • This cup has a multitude of flavors. As complex and moving as Dad.

  • Guatemala Antigua
  • Smokey flavor with a spicy twist...think of the sultry thought-provoking dad with that dynamic ability to find the spice in every situation.

  • Organic Peru 'Andes Gold'
  • Paint this man Gold...another coffee to demonstrate the value of the man you hold dear.

  • Costa Rica 'La Amistad' Organic
  • The coffee that's lively, sweet and aromatic. Perfect for the man that shimmers in personality!

  • Costa Rica Reserve
  • This is a bright flavored coffee that reveals in the end, a deeper, more complex finish...could Dad's outgoing style elude a deeper dimension?

YOUR CHATTY DAD

Finally there's Dad, very adept in conversational style...the smooth talker. No need to say another word. Present him instead with the perfect set of coffees for this year's Father's Day. Give him coffees with Smooth Taste, Heavy Body, Low Acidity. And for the man who can say it all, give a very demonstrative coffee gift:

Smooth taste with a heavy body and low acidity
  • Panama 'La Palma Select'
  • These beans grow on level ground creating consistency in their flavor...for the Dad consistently there for you through the thicks and the thins.

  • Colombia Organico Mesa de los Santos
  • Of all the Columbian coffees out there, this has been chosen tops, the best in the land. Considering all the Dads around, could you find better?

  • Colombia Supremo
  • For the Dad who is supreme!

  • Fair-Trade Central American Beneficio
  • A coffee truly dedicated to the forefathers, the Mayan ancestors...here's a coffee that will certainly dedicate your depth of gratitude for that special person in your life.

  • Java 'Dutch Estate'
  • Java coffee started from the Dutch, who planted the first Arabica trees in Java early in coffee's history. It's name has become synonymous with coffee in the U.S., and is often the standard for which all other coffees are measured. Such a ruler can apply against which to measure the other Dads.

  • Sumatra Mandheling
  • Many consider the Mandheling coffees to be among the world's finest and most admired, and certainly among the best Sumatran coffees. The creme de la creme...that's Dad!

  • Sumatra Dark Roast 'Black Satin'
  • As well adored as Sumatra Mandheling, only dark roasted. Same for the well admired Dad...with a darker side.

  • Bolivia Colonial Caranavi Organic
  • This coffee is grown in a special micro climate set apart from the typical climate of the land...representing the Dad with the temperament that seems to hold up to the ups and downs around him.

  • Yemen 'Arabian Mocca'
  • This being the world's oldest cultivated coffee, has stood the test of time. In being distinguished by its richness indicates the fullness of nature and wisdom which is only acquired by time. Hmmm...whom could this be?

  • Sulawesi 'Celebes Classique'
  • Incredibly rare, one of a kind coffee...none other produced even remotely like it. For that very unique, one of a kind Dad.

Here's to the perfect pairing of personality and profile.
