Price not usable
Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.
What Qima Cafe says about this coffee
Notes of chamomile, peach, dried persimmon, honey, caramel, roasted nuts, and silver needle tea. Qima has worked in Bani Ofair for seven years, providing farmer training, funding reservoirs to ease water scarcity, and distributing over 11,200 seedlings that have benefited close to 1,200 people. The Al Ofairi tribe, roughly 8,000 strong, farms these steep, fertile valleys in Maghrab Ans, Dhamar, at 1,900 to 2,100 metres, known also for its traditional honey, produced through generations of beekeeping.
Processed Natural, cherries are hand harvested and dried slowly on raised beds for 15 to 25 days to protect clarity. The variety is Kent, identified in 1920s India by British planter L. Kent, its lineage tracing to Yemen's own Typica-Bourbon stock, carried out through Mocha and Aden centuries earlier: a variety returning home.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
What Qima Cafe says about itself
Social enterprise

These are claims the roaster makes about its business, not about this coffee, and we have not checked them against any register.
