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. Cultivated in a region of steep terrain and fertile valleys, where access remains challenging, the community continues to safeguard its agricultural traditions while embracing scientific progress.

This lot features the Kent variety, a cultivar whose genetic lineage traces back to Yemen’s original Typica-Bourbon population, reframing its story to honour its Yemeni roots. 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.

Set up in the midst of Yemen’s raging civil war, Qima Coffee was first established to serve Yemen’s coffee farmers in 2016 and has grown to become Yemen’s largest specialty coffee exporter, and one of the country’s most impactful social enterprises. Since launching, Qima has grown from working with 30 farmers in one community in south central Yemen to working with almost 3,000 smallholder farmers in 55 communities across Yemen’s coffee growing lands.
Beyond coffee sourcing, Qima has invested significant resources into researching Yemen’s coffee genetic landscape and has published numerous scientific papers on the subject. In 2020, Qima announced the discovery of Yemenia, a previously unknown genetic group of the Arabica coffee species. The Yemenia genetic group has displayed unique and complex cup quality and significant potential for climate resilience - an attribute which may be of benefit for millions of farmers across the globe.
Qima continues to invest in Yemen’s smallholder farmer infrastructure and push the boundaries of innovation and R&D to reestablish Yemen’s reputation as a hugely significant coffee origin, for the past, present and future of the global coffee industry.

Tree to Cup Difference

At Qima, coffee isn’t sourced, it’s built from the ground up. We plant, process, roast and pour within one connected chain, ensuring every cup reflects traceability, integrity and craft. From the farmer’s hand to your cup, it’s coffee with nothing hidden and everything considered.

Plant

Every cup begins with a seed. We cultivate and distribute young coffee trees to farmers, nurturing the journey from the very start. Each plant represents potential — for quality, for prosperity, and for a more sustainable future at origin.

Process

At harvest, every step is intentional. Working closely with farmers, we guide ripe cherry selection, explore innovative drying methods, apply precision processing and roast with scientific care to unlock each coffee’s character. It’s where science meets craft, and where flavour truly begins.

Pour

The final act of the journey. Our baristas serve each cup with the same respect it was grown — balancing skill and care to reveal the coffee’s story. From tree to cup, the pour completes the circle.
