Fairy on a Zipwire

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 coffee was cultivated on a 5-hectare, family-owned farm in an area of Ethiopia that is widely recognised for producing some of the best coffees in the country – and that’s saying something!

Aragash Gelcha’s farm in the village of Halo Shashemene in the Gedeb district has been growing coffee for many years to feed the family that puts so much love and care into every coffee they produce.

The family, which consists of Aragash and her 12 children, is fully committed to applying the best and most up-to-date agronomic practices to ensure the farm’s sustainability and long-term health. This approach helps them to produce an average of around 800 kilograms of green coffee per hectare.

That figure becomes even more impressive when you consider that Aragash, her family, and many other coffee farmers in Ethiopia have faced numerous logistical barriers that are out of their control, despite export rules in the country being relaxed in 2018 to open doors to new markets for smallholders like Aragash.

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!

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. But that’s not all! Your coffee is also:

• Ethically sourced via a short supply chain
• Supporting a small carbon-neutral business
• Ensuring the farmers get paid 30 – 150% more
• Encouraging movements and programmes that are improving the coffee industry

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

We don’t think the fairies actually use their wings in fairy land. Instead, they zipwire everywhere, having shed loads of fun. Let’s be honest, you would, too!
