About This Coffee

This coffee is a rare Laurina variety from Colombia, grown by smallholder farmers along the Bamisa River basin in Acevedo, Huila. Laurina is a natural Bourbon mutation known for its low caffeine content and distinctive sweetness. The beans are carefully hand-picked and processed with precision, producing a layered cup with bright and syrupy characteristics. The flavor profile includes notes of cherry, cola candy, grape, lime, and maple syrup, with lively fruit tones and a soft, lingering sweetness.

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.
