About This Coffee

This single-origin coffee comes from the highlands of southern Ethiopia in the Sidama region. Grown at nearly 2,000 metres above sea level by smallholder farmers on small family plots, the coffee ripens slowly in the cool mountain air, developing natural sweetness and balance. The cherries are sun-dried whole using the traditional natural process, giving the cup a soft fruit character and gentle depth. The coffee displays notes of blackberry, honeycomb, and floral characteristics with a juicy mouthfeel.

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.
