Notes of Fuji apple, Grapefruit, Red Dates, Lemon. Amaani Al Hasmaani is a second-generation female farmer cultivating the SL28 variety at 1,850 metres in the highland community of Bani Ofair. This coffee is a true single farm lot, grown entirely on the terraces she inherited and has cared for since childhood. Over more than twenty years she has worked alongside her father, steadily expanding her farm with new seedlings each season. Today she tends nearly 400 coffee trees, combining traditional knowledge with precise, hands-on farming. Her SL28 produces a bright and expressive cup, with notes of Fuji apple, grapefruit, red dates and lemon. It reflects the resilience of the variety, the distinctiveness of her land and the dedication of a farmer who has shaped every stage of its journey.

Notes of Blackberry Tart, Violet, Pineapple Candy, Prune. From the Al Ofairi tribe in western Maghrab Ans, this competition lot embodies both resilience and innovation.

Crafted through Qima’s proprietary Alchemy process, developed over more than 1,300 controlled experiments, the coffee delivers exceptional flavour depth and precision. Expect a cup that opens with blackberry tart and pineapple candy, layered with dried mango and delicate violet florals, showcasing Yemen’s terroir through a lens of cutting-edge processing.

It’s a nuanced reflection of Huila’s progressive producers and the delicate character of this exceptional variety.
