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.

How it sits among coffee from Yemen
Qima Cafe describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet, chocolate, nutty, floral. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Yemen; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
nutty is unusual here — 23% of coffee from Yemen are described that way.

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.
Where each fact came from
Farm
“Grown by Ali Subaih, 65, who took over this Bait Alal farm with his brother after learning the trade beside his own father.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
Flavour families
“Notes of chamomile, blackberry, plum, caramel, chocolate, and almond cookie.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
Country of origin
The variety is Yemenia, the mother population found nowhere else on Earth, its wild complexity and structured acidity shaped by centuries of drought and temperature extremes unique to Yemen's highlands… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
Tasting notes

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
