Goodness Me

While this coffee tastes awesome in every device, our favourites are a filter, Chemex or cafetiere.

Head over to our brew guides for making coffee for more.

Here at Two Chimps Coffee, we source from small farms, cooperatives and estates. We’re proud to source seasonally – this means lots of fresh coffee and an ever-changing selection! Our main coffees change every 8-12 months, while our limited edition coffees change more frequently (most likely every 3-4 months).

What sets our limited editions apart? They are that little bit more interesting and diverse, and will not necessarily follow a pattern of characteristics. If you are looking to try captivating new coffees every few months, then our limited editions are for you! Dive in!

This utterly phenomenal coffee grows on the Kateshi Coffee Estate in The Northern Province of Zambia. The Kateshi Estate opened in 1972 as one of Zambia’s first coffee-cultivating estates. At the time, it was home to the main mill for all coffee grown in the region. And it’s gone from strength to strength since then; its natural and honey processed coffees won first and second place respectively Zambia’s annual Taste of Harvest competition. Top marks!

Community is at the heart of the Kateshi Estate. It was the first Zambian coffee estate to employ women for male-dominated roles such as driving tractors and bulldozers. It is also home to a health clinic that provides essential, free healthcare to over 4000 local residents. It’s got a football team, too: the Kateshi Coffee Bullets!

You’ll find Zambia’s Northern Province bordering Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. With its proximity to the equator and lovely, high altitudes, the area offers some of Zambia’s best coffee-growing conditions. Top marks, again! Coffee is the region’s main produce, followed by crops like maize, millet, groundnuts and beans.

Here at Two Chimps Coffee, we only source and roast speciality coffee. Professional tasters called Q Graders score the coffee on factors such as smell, taste and mouthfeel. We call this tasting process ‘cupping.’

To gain the ‘speciality’ title (a.k.a get an A* in the coffee world), a coffee must receive 80 points or more.

Every coffee that comes through the Two Chimps doors is different. They all have their own characteristics: some are chocolatey, some are more acidic, some are fruity… The coffee farmers work hard to produce these stellar beans, and we want to complement their awesome green beans when we roast.

We always roast with the beans’ natural flavours in mind. We never over-roast any coffee (so you won’t get the burnt bitterness you sometimes get with instant granules). Instead, we keep our roasts light to showcase all the gorgeous flavours in these high-quality beans. No over-roasting at Two Chimps Coffee – only smooth and sweet coffees here!

When you buy speciality coffee from us, you support workers and farmers in your coffee’s country of origin.

We make sure that we pay between 30 and 150% more for our speciality coffee than the going rate for commodity coffee. This ensures the farmers are paid more for their crop and, therefore, have the opportunity to invest in better living conditions and more resources. The result? Better harvests, year on year.

We like to keep the supply chain as short as possible when sourcing. A shorter chain means more money will make it back to the farm.

So from all of us at Two Chimps Coffee, thank you! Thank you for helping us make a difference.

Goodness me, isn’t it a lovely day! Goodness me, aren’t my friends just fab?

Andy and Laura’s Felix currently says ‘goodness me’ to everything!
