Tree to Cup

Notes of Orange, Thyme, Pistachio, Blueberries. Our Origins blend is a tribute to coffee’s origins, bringing together the lands where coffee was born and where it continues to evolve. Sourced through Qima Coffee’s network across Colombia, Ethiopia, and Yemen, it unites three distinct characters in one harmonious cup. Nutty, chocolatey depth from Colombia meets the bright blueberry sweetness of Ethiopia and the delicate citrus and spice of Yemen. Familiar and approachable, yet layered with subtle complexity, it’s crafted to shine in any brew method, every day.

Notes of Raisin, Nutmeg, Cherry Juice, PomegranateFrom the highlands of Hayma, near Sana’a in Yemen, comes Al-Haymatain Peaberry, named after the regions of Hayma Kharijiya and Hayma Dakhiliya. The name is rooted in the Arabic word Al-Hima, meaning a protected or enclosed place, reflecting this naturally fortified landscape of mountains and valleys where coffee has been cultivated for centuries.Hayma holds special significance as the first region where Qima began its work in coffee nine years ago. Since then, Qima has built water reservoirs, distributed coffee seedlings to renew orchards and preserve Yemenia genetics, delivered hands-on farmer training, and returned record-breaking prices to Hayma’s farmers through the Best of Yemen auction.Across both Hayma regions, the coffee trees belong to the Yemenia genetic lineage, an ancient population of Arabica found only in Yemen and preserved through generations of traditional farming. Peaberry beans, a natural mutation where a single seed develops inside the cherry, make up just 5 to 10 percent of any harvest, adding to the natural scarcity of this lot.Part of the Revolutionary range, this coffee reflects Qima’s belief that value lies not in exclusivity, but in responsibility. Rare in quantity and rarer still in integrity, it represents the highest expression of Qima’s research, genetics, and farmer partnerships, redefining rarity through progress with purpose.

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 Roasted Hazelnut, Olive Oil, Whipped Cream & Chocolate CakeMadagascar is an island, and that isolation has shaped its coffee. With limited access to modern high-yield varieties, many farms have continued to grow traditional Bourbons, preserved over generations. The island is also one of the world’s most important reservoirs of coffee genetic diversity, home to numerous wild Coffea species found nowhere else and critical to the future resilience of coffee.This coffee comes from the Itasy region in Madagascar’s central highlands, where around two hundred smallholder farmers cultivate coffee between 1,200 and 1,500 metres above sea level. Volcanic soils and cooler temperatures slow cherry development, building structure, clarity, and depth.Grown from heirloom Red and Yellow Bourbon varieties introduced in the nineteenth century, the coffee is washed, a process that highlights precision, balance, and definition in the cup.This is the second coffee from Madagascar to feature at Qima Café. Textural, expressive, and composed, it sits firmly within Best Served Bold, selected for coffees that stand apart through character, integrity, and flavour.

Notes of Black Currant, Purple Grape, Lavender, Caramel, Dried Mango Hayma Dakhiliya Alchemy is shaped by the depth of Yemen’s most remote highlands. It comes from the rugged peaks and hidden valleys of Hayma Dakhiliya, a landscape defined by isolation, altitude, and time. For more than 300 years, coffee has been cultivated here by local families in near-inaccessible mountaintop villages. Today, 400 smallholder families across 11 villages continue this work with devotion and precision, farming terraces carved into steep terrain.Cherries are selectively hand-picked and delivered through Qima’s fresh cherry supply chain, where they undergo Alchemy, a proprietary fermentation protocol designed to unlock exceptional complexity and clarity while preserving Yemen’s genetics and terroir.Part of the Revolutionary range, Hayma Dakhiliya Alchemy represents the highest expression of Qima’s research, farmer partnerships, and commitment to progress with purpose. A celebration of terroir, tradition, and transformation.  

Notes of Floral Pear Tea, Melon, Pineapple, Green Apple. Rio Bamisa takes its name from the river that runs through the valleys of Huila, supplying water to the farms that grow this coffee. That river shapes the land, the harvest, and the communities along its banks.The coffee is made from the Geisha variety, one of the most celebrated cultivars in the world, prized for its aromatic clarity, refined structure, and expressive fruit character. It rose to global prominence through major competition wins, setting a benchmark for elegance and flavour.Processed using a natural anaerobic method, the cherries ferment in a low-oxygen environment before drying with the fruit intact. This enhances depth and saturation while preserving the intrinsic character of both the variety and its terroir.Part of Best Served Bold, Rio Bamisa is a composed yet expressive single origin, selected for its clarity, confidence, and ability to stand apart.

Notes of Cherry, Cola Candy, Grape, Lime, Maple Syrup. Grown by a collective of smallholder farmers along the Bamisa River basin in Acevedo, Huila, this lot showcases one of Colombia’s rarest varieties, Laurina, a natural Bourbon mutation known for its low caffeine content and distinctive sweetness. Carefully hand-picked and processed with precision, Rio Bamisa Laurina offers a layered cup that’s both bright and syrupy, with lively fruit tones and a soft, lingering sweetness. It’s a nuanced reflection of Huila’s progressive producers and the delicate character of this exceptional variety.

Notes of Berry Candy, Milk Tea & Grapefruit Bold, playful, and unapologetically expressive, Blackberry Jazz celebrates modern Colombian coffee innovation. Sourced from the highlands of Huila, Colombia, and crafted using co-fermentation, it is designed to push flavour forward and challenge expectations. Natural ingredients are introduced during fermentation, shaping the cup before the coffee is washed and carefully dried for clarity and control. The result is vivid and unmistakable: blackberry-led sweetness, a creamy weight on the palate, and a playful, funky edge that lingers. Made from the Caturra variety and produced by farmers willing to experiment, this is coffee as a creative act, not a background drink. Part of Best Served Bold, Blackberry Jazz is for those looking to make a statement.
