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

This head-turning coffee is grown on the Fazenda Recreio. You’ll find this high-achieving coffee farm located in São Sebastião da Grama, a tiny city in the Brazilian state of São Paulo. This small city, and indeed the Fazenda Recreio, played a key part in the speciality coffee movement in Brazil.

The farm has been in the Dias family since 1890 and is currently headed by Diogo Dias Teixeira de Macedo. Mr Diogo Dias began his Fazenda Recreio career in 2000 and takes a unique approach combining tradition with top-class innovation. The result? Truly exceptional coffees every time. His skill is continually recognised in national and international contests, and the farm has scooped seven victories in different Cup of Excellence competitions.

Fazenda Recreio maintains 68 fully-furnished houses for its workers. These ‘colônias’ were common in the latter half of the 19th century but are relatively rare nowadays. Just another way Fazenda Recreio is staying on top of its coffee game.

With each and every coffee we source, it must have a quality score. This quality score determines if a coffee can be granted its ‘speciality’ title. The coffee must receive a score of 80 or above to gain the name. Have a look at our page about coffee cupping to see exactly how we do it here at Two Chimps Coffee.

As roasters of speciality coffee, we never ‘over roast’ any of our coffees. The roasting process is our chance to show off the awesome natural flavours and aromas found within the coffee. If coffee is roasted too dark, these natural flavours and aromas can be hidden and instead replaced with burnt and bitter tastes. The coffees we source are of very high quality. This gives us the opportunity to showcase the flavours during the roast rather than hiding them. Our coffees all have a natural sweetness and are never burnt or bitter.

All six of our ethically sourced coffees are all completely different from each other. The farmers and workers who grow, nurture and harvest our coffees constantly produce faultless coffee beans. Our job? To roast them to their full potential.

New to Two Chimps Coffee, or have you bought speciality coffee from us before? Either way, you’re helping out coffee farmers in countries all over the world.  Here at Two Chimps, we always pay between 30 and 150% more than the ‘going rate’ for our green coffee. By doing so, the coffee farmers get paid more for their crop. This, in turn, leads to the farmers having more opportunities, for instance, a better chance of an even better harvest next year.

Keeping the supply chain short is a big thing for us. The shorter we can make the chain, the more we can be sure goes back to the farm.

So, thank you. We applaud you. Keep up the great work!

What links clean sheets, new stationery and a cup of Two Chimps? They are all simple, infinitely satisfying pleasures that make us CHUFFED AS CHIPS.
