Limited Edition
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!

Behind the Scenes
We’ve partnered with Project Waterfall with this extra-special brew, with £1 of each bag purchased donated to this incredible charity. Project Waterfall brings clean water, sanitation and education to coffee-growing communities worldwide. So far, they have raised over £1.5 million and changed more than 70,000 lives in 7 countries.
This coffee comes from the Akagera region in eastern Rwanda and was cultivated by the Gasange Co-operative, which Valentin Kamenyi runs.
This awesome co-operative partners with 1,315 smallholder farmers in the area.
The ripe cherries are carefully hand-picked and then floated in a water tank to remove the under-ripe and overripe cherries. After that, they are spread out across raised beds to bask in the sun for 30-40 days, depending on the weather.
During this time, the fruit is turned regularly, and farmers keep an eye out for any cherries with physical defects or any that have become over-fermented or mouldy. When the midday sun is at its strongest or when it’s raining, the cherries are covered to protect them from damage.
Once complete, the beans are removed and washed before being dried and packaged. They are then sent to be exported, where we eagerly await their arrival at Two Chimps H.Q.
Our talented roaster then works his magic to bring you the perfect cup of coffee!

What does the score mean?
Every coffee has a score. If it’s below 80 points, the coffee is commodity. If it’s super-delicious, free from defects and scored 80 points or above, it’s speciality coffee!
Speciality coffee is better all round: acidity, balance, mouthfeel, aroma… Speciality coffee ticks all the boxes!
But, watch out. Don’t choose your coffee based purely on the score! A higher score might denote a more experimental coffee, or one with a very interesting lemony flavour, for example. This doesn’t mean you’ll like the flavour more than one that scored a little lower. Go with your gut – you know what you enjoy most!
Our awesome TC coffees all sit in the scrummy 80-90 region. We tend not to go for anything in the high 90s, as scores this high sometimes indicate an exceptionally rare coffee rather than one we think you’ll love! We always keep your cup in mind when selecting our coffee range!

Roasting
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!

Why buy speciality coffee from us?
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.
We will donated £1 from every single bag purchased to project waterfall.

Where does the name come from?
So our white-labelled limited edition coffee follows the things that head chimps, Laura & Andy’s, and children do and say. So this is the next one… Felix was watching a film and there is a famous phrase said in the film… Felix repeated it how he thought it sounded…. And here we have Tinsing a boo out. Have fun guessing the film 😊
