About This Coffee

This coffee is sourced from the highlands of Huila, Colombia. It features the Caturra variety and is crafted using co-fermentation where natural ingredients are introduced during fermentation before being washed and carefully dried. The coffee offers blackberry-led sweetness with notes of berry candy, milk tea, and grapefruit, along with a creamy weight on the palate and a playful, funky edge. This experimental coffee represents modern Colombian coffee innovation from farmers willing to push flavor boundaries.

Qima Cafe

Qima Cafe describes itself as the UK's first tree to cup café. It is the retail arm of Qima Coffee, an ethical sourcing and trading organisation that works with a network of over 7,000 smallholder farmers and supplies specialty roasters across 40 countries. The café operates two London locations, in Covent Garden and on Warren Street, both of which won Good Food Blue Ribbon Awards for 2025/26. Qima's expertise in coffee genetics gives them access to coveted varieties including Gesha, Sudan Rume, and Yemenia, and their Best of Yemen auction lots have sold for nearly $1,000 per kilogram. Through the Coffee Tree Per Cup programme, every cup sold funds a young coffee tree for a farmer, and growers receive on average over 400% more than the standard international market price.
