Behind the Scenes
This lovely coffee is grown in Huehuetenango, the highest coffee-cultivating region in Guatemala. Huehuetenango means ‘Place of the Ancients’ in Nahuatl and is just right for growing coffee. Rivers and streams wind through remotely-dotted smallholder farms, most of which measure just one hectare each. The high altitudes and warm winds blowing from Mexico create prime coffee conditions that protect the crops from frost. This extends the growing and fermentation times, which allows the beans to develop more complex flavours.
We source these beans via a speciality importer operating directly in the Huehuetenango region. In order to purchase straight from the farmer, our importer maintains several regional warehouses and buying stations. This is important: it allows the team to trade directly with locals and provide stable market access for more remote communities.
Your lovely Mail Order Me A Waterfall coffee comes from the Unión Cantinil warehouse in Huehuetenango’s heart. This carefully maintained micro-warehouse receives coffee from a radius reaching just 15km. The beans are primarily Bourbon, Caturra and Pache – varietals renowned for next-level flavour!

What does the score mean?
We only source and roast speciality coffee here at Two Chimps. Cupping is the snazzy process that decides if a coffee will become speciality. It determines the coffee’s score, and the coffee makes the cut as speciality if this score is 80 plus. If the score is below 80, it won’t get the ‘speciality’ title (it’ll be commodity instead). Professional Q Graders score each coffee on factors such as taste, aroma, mouthfeel and more.
Take a look at our page all about coffee cupping for more information.

Roasting
Here at Two Chimps, we hand roast your coffee with love, care and obsessive detail. We never over roast for the simple reason that we don’t need to. Every coffee we source is high quality and naturally sweet, and we use the roasting process to highlight these flavours. Commodity roasters, meanwhile, often overroast to mask the ‘off’ taste in their low-grade beans. The result? Bitter-tasting coffee you don’t enjoy drinking.
So brew the coffee you deserve – naturally sweet, impeccably roasted coffee from Two Chimps!

Why buy speciality coffee from us?
No matter how much or how often you purchase freshly roasted coffee from us, you are helping coffee farmers around the globe. Wow… bold claim.
But one that’s absolutely true. Here at Two Chimps, we always pay between 30 and 150% more than the ‘going rate’ for our green coffee beans. This is considerably more than the Fairtrade minimum. Because we pay more, more gets back to the farmer and this, in turn, means the farmer can invest and improve year after year.
What’s more, working with ethical coffee importers allows us to keep the supply chain as short as possible. This way, we can make sure a higher percentage of the payment makes it to the farm and its workers. Because coffee can be tasty, but it’s got to be kind.
