Notes of orange, thyme, pistachio, and blueberries.The Origins Blend is built from the three countries where Qima works most closely. Yemen, where the company began. Colombia, one of the three operational origins. Peru, an active sourcing relationship that follows the same model.The components are a washed Castillo and Caturra from Dulima, Colombia, a washed lot from Amazonas, Peru, and a mixed-variety natural from Harraz, in Yemen's western highlands. Washed and natural in the same cup. Three origins, one round, balanced profile.This is the blend we pull as house espresso at Qima Café in Covent Garden and Fitzrovia. Familiar, consistent, the everyday expression of the way Qima works across origins.

Notes of chocolate brownie, cherry cola, raspberry jam, and nutmeg.From Wadi Jannat, the Valley of Paradise, in the Ba'dan district of Ibb, Yemen. One of the country's most celebrated highland terroirs, nourished by seasonal rains and natural springs, where families maintain ancestral irrigation channels and work collectively at harvest.The variety is SL34, a Bourbon-line cultivar selected in Kenya in the 1930s and now grown back in the region where the Bourbon lineage began. At 2,000 metres, in Yemeni terroir, it expresses something different than it does anywhere else. Processing is Alchemy XI, Qima's proprietary protocol developed across more than 1,300 experiments. Twelve hours of aerobic fermentation, two to three days of carbonic maceration, a semi-anaerobic phase on raised beds, and twenty-five days of slow drying.This is what convergence looks like in a cup. Ancestral land. A variety travelling home. A fermentation protocol built from a thousand experiments. Held together at 2,000 metres.

Notes of Blackberry, Honeycomb, Juicy, Floral From the highlands of southern Ethiopia, known for fertile soils and clean, expressive flavour profiles. This single-origin coffee is grown at nearly 2,000 metres above sea level and cultivated by smallholder farmers on small family plots. The coffee ripens slowly in the cool mountain air, building natural sweetness and balance.The cherries are sun-dried whole using the traditional natural process, giving the cup a soft fruit character and gentle depth. Familiar, comforting, and quietly expressive, it’s an everyday coffee that never feels ordinary.

Notes of jasmine, apricot jam, plum compote, and white tea.From San Pedro, in the Tabaconas district of San Ignacio, northern Cajamarca. One of Peru's most respected washed-coffee regions, where smallholder farms work through cooperatives at altitudes that climb past 2,000 metres, in a landscape of cloud forest and steep highland valleys.The variety is Geisha, a recent and deliberate presence in Peruvian coffee. Grown mostly at small scale by producers willing to take on a demanding plant for a chance at exceptional cup quality, it remains rare across the country and rarer still in lots that reach this kind of clarity.Processed Washed to keep the variety's florals and stone fruit clean and forward. A bright, layered cup. The kind of coffee that shows what's possible when a frontier region and an ambitious variety meet at the right moment.
