Kima was named Best Specialty Coffee of Spain in 2024 and ranked in the top 100 coffee destinations worldwide by Neodrinks in 2025. Rabi works exclusively with 100% Arabica specialty coffee, hand roasting each batch and selecting from a wide range of origins that includes rare varietals like Geisha from Colombia and Wild Orchid Liberica from Vietnam.
