Good Morning World

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. When a coffee has been harvested, processed, roasted and drunk, there is no more coffee available from that farm, for now at least. Our main coffees will change every 8-12 months, while our limited edition coffees will change more frequently, most likely every 3-4 months.  Our limited editions are just as interesting and diverse in flavour, but will not necessarily follow a pattern of characteristics. If you are looking to try new coffees every few months or so, then our limited editions are for you.

This irresistible coffee is grown by Don Lorenzo Luna Monsalve, who lives with his family on their three-hectare farm in the Las Pirias area of Cajamarca, Peru. The family undertake every farm task themselves, only hiring extra workers during the busy harvest season.

Don Lorenzo’s family farm is the perfect home for coffee bushes. Large trees provide shade, slowing down the growth rate and ensuring a full flavour, while high altitudes give the beans a fruity sweetness we can’t resist. The Cajamarca region is also known for its good coffee-growing soil. A blueprint for coffee perfection? Take a sip and see…

We source from an ethical importer who works directly with the farmers in Peru. They established a warehouse in Jaen (a city in Cajamarca) in recent years and began buying parchment directly from producers. This important move maintains full traceability of the coffee and ensures smallholder farmers receive a high price for their knowledge and skill.

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.

If you’d like to read more about cupping or fancy trying it at home, check out our guide on coffee cupping like a pro.

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.

It’s 6.04am, and our son Felix bounds out of bed, yanks back the curtains and wishes the world ‘GOOD MORNING.’

Then a day of dog cartoons and worm-digging begins.

Can we all be two again?
