About This Coffee

This coffee is a Red Pacamara variety grown at the El Silencio farm in Palestina, southern Huila, Colombia, at an altitude between 1,700 and 2,200 meters. It is a natural processed coffee, where cherries are dried whole to concentrate sugars. The flavor profile features notes of hibiscus, winey fruit, dark cherry, plum, and cola. The coffee is characterized by its clarity, sweetness, and deep, winey structure, resulting from the unique volcanic soil and cold mountain winds of the region.

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.
