Backwards or Forwards or Wednesdays

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.

Farmers have been cultivating coffee in the Cerrado Mineiro region of Brazil since the 1970s, but thanks to the Café Delas program this particular coffee has been cultivated solely by female farmers who have been given the support, knowledge and resources to grow their farm.

Cerrado Mineiro is situated around 800 to 1,200 metres above sea level but the area itself is relatively flat which makes harvesting more efficient than in the more rugged and challenging parts of Brazil.

Brazil remains one of the best and most well-known coffee producers in the world and there are around 4,500 farmers cultivating coffee in this 210,000 hectare area alone. Once ready for harvest the Cerrado Mineiro region benefits from its long dry spells which means that there is less chance of humidity affecting the coffee as it dries naturally.

For a coffee to make the grade as speciality, it must gain a ‘quality’ score. Q Graders use a process known as ‘cupping’ to find this score. If the graders give a coffee less than 80 points, it’ll be marked as ‘commodity’ rather than ‘speciality’.

Graders score the coffee on a wide number of factors such as mouthfeel, taste and balance. Never heard of cupping before? We’ve written a page all about it. Head over now to become a coffee cupping clever clogs!

We are proud to say that we never over roast our coffee. Never ever.

We use the roasting process to show off all the natural flavours and aromas within our green coffee beans. Over roasting, which often occurs with commodity coffee, masks all these lovely flavours with a bitter, burnt-tasting edge. Using high-quality, perfectly ripe beans means there’s nothing bad for us to hide in the first place – these beans are full of good stuff! Our job is to create bespoke roasting recipes which put all that luscious flavour and natural sweetness centre stage.

The coffee farmers from across the globe put everything into producing an outstanding product for us. It’s only fair we do the same for you, right?

As we source our coffees from small farms and cooperatives, all our coffees are wonderfully unique. Some are creamy and full-bodied, some more fruity and light, perhaps with hints of berry. Ooooh, how to decide?

You are doing something awesome when you enjoy a fresh cup of Two Chimps coffee. Not only do you get to sip freshly roasted, speciality brews happily, but you are also supporting:

• Ethically sourced beans via a short supply chain
• A small carbon-neutral business
• Farmers getting paid 30 – 150% more
• Programmes that are improving the coffee industry

This name is all about our littlest chimp, Autumn, who came up with this name on a Wednesday. It really is hump day but you can’t go backwards and you can’t go forwards, so you might as well embrace Wednesday!
