We source this warming coffee from the Poder Femenino farm and the San Rafael farm in Los Limos, Honduras. The latter of these is owned by Norma Iris Fiallos and located in Copan, the most famous of Honduras’s six main coffee-growing regions. Norma is a creative, forward-thinking coffee producer and harvests an unmissable variety of coffee varietals. You’ll find her San Rafael farm located in pine forests, which give truly unique coffees thanks to their acidic soil. This coffee is also shade grown, which slows down the plants’ growth rate to give you a more complex, flavourful cup. It’s kinder to the surrounding wildlife, too.

Norma’s coffee is always wash processed at the Aruco mill. Positioned 800 meters above sea level, the mill enjoys a dry, stable climate which helps create stellar coffees again and again. The washed process is the best way to taste a coffee in its true light. Rather than adding fruity flavours, which can sometimes be the case with other processing methods, the washed process gives us bright cups with crystal clarity.

Every coffee is ‘cupped’ to determine its quality score. Here at Two Chimps Coffee, we only source and roast speciality coffee. In other words, we’re only interested in coffees that gain a score of 80 points or above. Q Graders score each coffee on a number of factors, including its taste, aroma and mouthfeel. Not sure what coffee cupping is? We have a page all about it – get clued up on coffee cupping right here.

We never ‘over roast’ our coffees – nor will we ever need to! We use the roasting process to bring out the natural flavours and aromas of the coffee, rather than following in the footsteps of most commodity roasters and masking unwanted tastes by roasting too dark. Overroasting replaces every flavour, good and bad, with burnt, bitter tastes. Not what you want for a standout cup.

We only ever start with high-grade beans, so have no need to overroast and hide yucky flavours. Instead, we can roast to showcase each coffee in its full light.

We’re proud to say that our coffees will never taste the same as each other. Some have naturally occurring chocolatey notes, while others have mentions of fruit. We owe the opportunity to roast awesome coffee to the coffee farmers and workers who grew them. So to them, we say thank you.

Our coffees are special. Firstly, they are speciality coffees and second, by purchasing coffee from us you will be making a difference to coffee farmers around the globe. We pay between 30 and 150% more than the ‘going rate’ for our green beans. This gives the coffee farmers an opportunity to improve working practices with the hope of an even better harvest next year.

We like to keep our supply chain short and sweet. This way, we are safe in the knowledge that more revenue gets back to the farmers.

Your little bag of coffee is changing lives. High five!
