Size guide

Notes of chamomile, blackberry, plum, caramel, chocolate, and almond cookie. Grown by Ali Subaih, 65, who took over this Bait Alal farm with his brother after learning the trade beside his own father. Their sons now work alongside them, carrying forward land some Bait Alal families hold ownership documents for dating back a few hundred years, on a mountaintop the community believes is where coffee itself began. As Ali puts it, coffee is the wealth of all Yemenis, and he has no plans to stop growing it.

Processed Natural, cherries are hand harvested and dried slowly on raised beds for 15 to 25 days, with moisture and sugar levels tracked closely throughout. The variety is Yemenia, the mother population found nowhere else on Earth, its wild complexity and structured acidity shaped by centuries of drought and temperature extremes unique to Yemen's highlands

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.
