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 rosewater, orange, white peach, tamarind, caramel, dark chocolate, and strawberry shortcake. Bait Rumaim, the home of the Rumaim family, sits within the Bait Alal cluster in Hayma Kharijiya, where coffee has passed down as an ancestral trade for generations. Bait Alal itself rises above 2,300 metres, home to some 300 farming families and coffee trees nearing 300 years old, in a place many residents believe is where coffee itself began.
Processed as Carbonic Honey, a water free adaptation of the honey method built for Yemen's dry conditions: cherries ferment in a sealed, carbon dioxide flushed environment before being depulped without water, mucilage left intact, then dried slowly on raised beds for around 25 days. The variety is Yemenia, the mother population found nowhere else on Earth, its centuries of drought and temperature extremes bred into a cup of wild complexity and structured acidity.

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
“The term “social enterprise” hadn’t even been coined yet.” their page (opens in a new tab)
These are claims the roaster makes about its business, not about this coffee, and we have not checked them against any register.
