WELCOME TO THE COFFEE REVOLUTION

Qima coffee was founded with the vision of using coffee as a vehicle to sustainably improve lives and livelihoods.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF COFFEE CULTURE

THE LAND OF COFFEE DREAMS

A WORLD OF DIVERSITY

THE QIMA WAY


WE PRICE OUR COFFEE FOR A LIVING INCOME.

1

When it comes to sourcing and buying coffee from our farmer partners we apply a genuinely equitable three-tiered pricing model that encompasses the cost of production for the farmer, a living wage to cover the basic household needs and quality-related premiums.

WE MANAGE THE VALUE CHAIN FROM CHERRY TO CUP FOR GUARANTEED QUALITY.

2

We work exclusively with fresh cherry to ensure that every step of the critical post-harvest process is carefully managed and controlled, with eight centralized processing centres across the country that receive and process coffee every day. These practices have resulted in 91% of our coffees achieving a score of 86+, with a growing proportion of exceptional 90+ coffees year on year.

WE  INNOVATE IN AGRONOMY & GENETICS.

3

As part of our genetic work with RD2 Vision, all our coffees are DNA Verified. 

WE SOURCE FROM SINGLE FARMERS TO BRING OUT THE HUMAN BEHIND THE COFFEE.

4

We start our sourcing directly at smallholder farmer level to ensure full traceability down to the individual producer. We also tell you about the farmers’ ambitions and challenges, giving you the chance to build a genuine connection with them for years to come.

WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT SOCIAL IMPACT.

5

we’ve pledged to donate 10% of our annual profits to education and agriculture projects through the Qima Foundation
