Father’s Day Blend

Father’s Day Blend

A simple blend of beans from Colombia, Costa Rica & India this coffee was developed by roaster & father of three David Kennedy and lies at the very heart of the Bun Coffee story. The blend was the first blend I ever developed. It was in 1989 and we were opening a Cafe/Patisserie in the Sydney suburb of Glebe. Part of the process was to develop a unique blend for the cafe. This led me to a small boutique roaster on Sydney’s North Shore where I spent time formulating the blend with their master roaster. The process of doing this led me to fall in love with the process of taking green coffee beans from far-flung parts of the world and roasting and blending them to create distinct flavoursome blends.

After selling the cafe/patisserie I joined the roaster and started my coffee career. The name Bun comes from those patisserie days when my friends used to call the shop the “sticky bun” shop, and, well the name stuck and I became Mr Bun.

This blend is therefore very dear to my heart and one of my favourite coffees, reminding me of those 04:30 starts in the business and how a double espresso of this every morning provided the motivation for my day! The original name for this blend was Continental Blend but we decided to change it to Father’s Day Blend to celebrate Father’s Day and in honour of the fathers who work at Bun Coffee.

It is strong and rich with a beautiful caramel characteristic and rich liquorice finish.

The beans we use are all either Rain Forest Alliance certified, Organic certified or Fair Trade.
