Sourced from Santa Rosa, Guatemala, the Ayarza region has stunning landscapes and the beautiful blue waters of Laguna de Ayarza and Laguna Azul. These lakes were created when two volcanoes collapsed, leaving behind huge craters that naturally filled with water over time.

These cherries were cultivated in the smallholder farms surrounding these lakes. Francisco Nájera is one of many producers in the area. He grew up in the nearby town of El Naranjo and has been in the coffee industry for 15 years.

Nájera has mastered coffee cultivation with various small plots, ensuring the best farming practices are followed to prevent disease and retain top quality. He also dedicates part of his time to developing a coffee tree nursery, which allows him to sell saplings to other farmers in the region.

Olam Guatemala saw the amazing potential of coffee in this region thanks to the dedication of hardworking independent producers like Nájera, who set out to perfect the processing side of things. They began by renting a wet mill on an RFA-certified farm. They found the quality of washed coffee to be higher than expected and experimented further with natural and honey-processed beans.

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.

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!

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.

How do I make it stop – while you figure it out, put the kettle on!
