Cats in Capes

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.

Here at Two Chimps Coffee, we source from small farms, cooperatives and estates. We’re proud to source seasonally – this means lots of fresh coffee and an ever-changing selection! Our main coffees change every 8-12 months, while our limited edition coffees change more frequently (most likely every 3-4 months).

What sets our limited editions apart? They are that little bit more interesting and diverse, and will not necessarily follow a pattern of characteristics. If you are looking to try captivating new coffees every few months, then our limited editions are for you! Dive in!

This coffee was grown by a smallholder farmer who is part of the Asociación de Cafetaleros La Gran Reserva. This wonderful group is dedicated to enhancing the quality of coffee produced in this region, thereby creating more speciality coffees.

The farms in Tabaconas are fortunate to have volcanic soil rich in nutrients, paired with ideal temperatures between 14-20 ºC and soaring altitudes of 1,600 meters above sea level. All of this comes together to create some truly amazing coffee!

Once the cherries are harvested by hand-picking only the perfectly ripe fruit, they are de-pulped and dry-fermented for 16 hours. After fermentation, the coffee is carefully washed to remove any sticky mucilage, which creates this coffee’s clean and bright profile. Lastly, the freshly washed beans are laid across drying patios for roughly 15 hours until they reach the optimal moisture content.

The beans are then packed into pro grain bags to ensure freshness before being sent to Two Chimps HQ, where we hand-roast them in small batches to create this truly extra-special brew.

Every coffee has a score. If it’s below 80 points, the coffee is commodity. If it’s super-delicious, free from defects and scored 80 points or above, it’s speciality coffee!

Speciality coffee is better all round: acidity, balance, mouthfeel, aroma… Speciality coffee ticks all the boxes!

But, watch out. Don’t choose your coffee based purely on the score! A higher score might denote a more experimental coffee, or one with a very interesting lemony flavour, for example. This doesn’t mean you’ll like the flavour more than one that scored a little lower. Go with your gut – you know what you enjoy most!

Our awesome TC coffees all sit in the scrummy 80-90 region. We tend not to go for anything in the high 90s, as scores this high sometimes indicate an exceptionally rare coffee rather than one we think you’ll love! We always keep your cup in mind when selecting our coffee range!

Every coffee that comes through the Two Chimps doors is different. They all have their own characteristics: some are chocolatey, some are more acidic, some are fruity… The coffee farmers work hard to produce these stellar beans, and we want to complement their awesome green beans when we roast.

We always roast with the beans’ natural flavours in mind. We never over-roast any coffee (so you won’t get the burnt bitterness you sometimes get with instant granules). Instead, we keep our roasts light to showcase all the gorgeous flavours in these high-quality beans. No over-roasting at Two Chimps Coffee – only smooth and sweet coffees here!

When you buy speciality coffee from us, you support workers and farmers in your coffee’s country of origin. But that’s not all! Your coffee is also:

• Ethically sourced via a short supply chain
• Supporting a small carbon-neutral business
• Ensuring the farmers get paid 30 – 150% more
• Encouraging movements and programmes that are improving the coffee industry

So from all of us at Two Chimps Coffee, thank you! Thank you for helping us make a difference.

Have you ever thought about why you haven’t spotted any Cats in Capes? Well, it’s because they only wear them when Superman could use a little extra help!
