Size guide

Notes of fudge, gala apple, pear tea, and blood orange.

From La Loma, a small farm in Palanda, in Ecuador's Zamora Chinchipe region, at 1,400 metres above sea level. The farm covers two hectares, with coffee planted across just over half of it, grown under shade alongside fruit trees and native species.
La Loma is run by Edwin Calva, a third-generation producer whose family has farmed this hillside since his grandparents first planted coffee here. Edwin works with F1 hybrid varieties and a washed protocol shaped by years of experimentation, carrying the work forward while pushing what a small Ecuadorian farm can produce.

A clean, structured cup with quiet depth. Familiar enough to drink every day. Specific enough to belong to one farm, one family, one hillside that has held coffee for three generations.

In 2021, in coordination with Ecuador's Ministry of Agriculture, Qima launched its sourcing operations in the country, working alongside smallholder producers in some of the most underrecognised coffee-growing regions in Latin America.Ecuador holds the conditions of a major specialty origin. Wide microclimatic diversity, exceptional biodiversity, unique varieties, and a coffee history dating back to the early nineteenth century. The country is rarely named among the world's top quality origins, and exports have declined in recent years.The parallels to Yemen are close enough to be useful. Both origins are built on smallholder farms. Both have distinctive microclimates and genetics. Both have significant quality potential held back by the same structural problems: weak post-harvest processing, dysfunctional or absent seed sectors, and limited investment in research and development.Qima's work in Ecuador applies the same approach developed in Yemen. Direct engagement at farm level, investment in processing infrastructure, work on genetics and agronomy, and a sourcing model that returns more value to the producers behind every lot.

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.
