Coconut in a Power Cut

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

Head over to our brew guides for making coffee for more info.

All of our coffees are single-origin and come to us from small farms and estates. This means that when a coffee has been harvested, processed and drunk, it’s gone for good (sad face).

However, we understand that some people are very attached to their morning brew (we don’t blame them), so for our standard range, we source enough beans to last 8-12 months. When it comes time for a new roast, we ensure the flavour profile is similar to its predecessor.

But this isn’t the case for limited editions. Each one is a unique coffee we’ve found, loved, and wanted to roast. However, these extra-special brews typically don’t last as long as our standard range. They are usually available for about 3-4 months. So, be sure to grab a bag while you can!

Founded in 2016, Agri Evolve is a profit-for-purpose agribusiness based in the Kisinga region of the country, home to the Rwenzori Mountains. They support smallholder farmers with resources, training, and access to broader markets to improve coffee quality, increase farmers’ incomes, and promote sustainable agricultural practices.

Agri Evolve works with around 2,000 farmers across the Kasese district in Uganda and is committed to making a positive social and environmental impact in the region. In 2022, they completed the construction of a new processing station, one of the largest and most advanced coffee facilities in the country.

The company is also committed to environmental conservation and tackling deforestation through initiatives such as the cultivation of over 130,000 native tree seedlings, which are provided to farmers to create better growing environments for coffee plants, and the provision of SL14 and SL28 coffee seedlings to farmers, encouraging the replacement of lower-yield trees with disease-resistant, more productive varieties.

To grow great coffee, you need two things: a warm climate and altitude. Uganda has both. It has a tropical climate, rainy seasons, and areas like the Rwenzori Mountains that reach up to 2,100 metres above sea level, helping the coffee develop slowly, resulting in fuller flavour. Ugandan arabica coffee is known for its fruity flavours and its ever-so-slight sweetness, the types of flavours you can taste in this coffee.

Speciality coffee is the best of the best. Evaluated by Q graders (highly trained coffee tasters), coffees awarded the title of speciality create the most interesting, varied, and all-around awesome brews. Pop this coffee in your favourite brewing device and see for yourself!

Coffees like this one are exceptional, so when we roast them, we aim only to bring out the best in the coffee. We don’t need to fix any flaws, and we certainly don’t want to replace those awesome origin characteristics with the flavour of roast. So, we work carefully to ensure you can enjoy every bit of the amazing flavour this coffee has to offer.

Almost all speciality coffee is ethically awesome. As an industry, we like to ensure the farmers who grow this awesome coffee get their fair share. We pay them what the coffee is worth, and ensure the supply chains are short, so most of that value reaches their pockets.

At Two Chimps, we also like to make sure the coffee we sell is good for the planet. Alongside our fully recyclable bags, we reduce or offset the carbon involved in getting the coffee here, roasted, and delivered to your door. If you ever decide to calculate your carbon footprint, it’s good news. You don’t have to count your coffee. We’ve already taken care of everything!

When the lights go out, it’s always when you’re right in the middle of something, isn’t it? Fortunately, we’d just made the coffee when the power went out, but during the blackout we ventured into the kitchen and managed to knock a coconut off the side. Could we find it? Not on your nelly! (Helped pass the time, though).
