Espressoly For You

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.

Your love potion Valentine’s Day coffee was grown by Mustefa Abakeno in the town of Agaro in Western Ethiopia. Mustefa’s 18-hectare smallholder farm is home to some stellar lots of coffee – just look at that high cup score! He processes all his coffees on-farm, too, ensuring maximum control at every stage. His Beshasha wet mill tends to process his and his neighbours’ washed coffees while the Kabira station, acquired in 2020, sees to the natural processed lots. Mustefa keeps the fermentation times at Beshasha to a short 8 hours, which helps to bring out the honey-like notes in this irresistible coffee. Take a sip and see – it’ll tickle you pink!

We maintain very short supply chains by sourcing straight from an ethical importer. The team is currently helping smallholders like Mustefa boost their business by providing them with access to farm management training and coffee drying developments. They even employed a very clever soil scientist in 2021 (he’s called Harun!) to work with Mustefa in improving crop quality even more. Dream team, if you ask us!

Take a peek at your fresh coffee’s cup score (it’s the one out of 100). Is it below 80? Then it’s a commodity coffee. 80 points or above? Then you’ve got yourself a bag of super-delicious, entirely defect-free speciality coffee!

Speciality coffee is the coffee crème de la crème. The top dog. The best of the bunch. It’s cherries are picked by hand at perfect ripeness, it’s flavours are interesting and naturally sweet… it’s the only coffee your mug deserves!

But, watch out. Don’t choose your coffee based solely on its cup score. Remember – this mark is only the opinion of the Q Graders who cupped that coffee. A lower-scoring coffee might taste less avant-garde, but its flavour profile might be just what you’re after! Play around, try different tastes, and go with the coffee you prefer!

Each coffee in our Two Chimps range sits in the 80-90 points range. We tend to avoid coffees with scores in the high 90s, as this often indicates a very, very rare coffee rather than one we know you’ll love!

We never ‘over roast’ our coffees. Not ever. Instead, we use the roasting process to show off all the natural flavours and aromas within your coffee.

Big-name commodity roasters often use the roasting process to mask undesirable flavours in low-quality beans. Overroasting (when coffee is roasted too dark) gives the coffee a bitter and burnt taste. So, essentially, they are replacing foul tastes with bad ones. Not what you want, is it?

We only source high-quality speciality coffee here at Two Chimps. Our premium green beans have nothing bad to hide – just lots of delicious, naturally sweet flavour! We roast gently to put all these flavours in the spotlight and bring you coffee that’s lusciously sweet and perfectly flavourful!

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

Thinking of popping a bag in your basket? Do – it’ll be the best thing you do all day! Because when you choose Two Chimps, you are supporting small coffee farmers and producers across the globe.

We always pay between 30 and 150% more than the ‘going rate’ for our green coffee, which helps to ensure the farmers receive more for their crop. This opens the opportunity for better living conditions, plus funds to invest in an even better harvest next year.

Keeping the supply chain as short as possible is a priority at TC. The shorter it is, the more goes back to the farm and workers. Simple.

Keep doing what you’re doing. You really are awesome.

Roses are red,

Violets are blue.

And this fruity coffee,

Is Espressoly for You!
