Legends Collection Coffees - Terres de Café

Over the past 10 years, Qima Coffee has established itself as a trusted partner for sourcing high-quality coffee in a country plagued by war and corruption. While it’s impossible here to ensure traceability all the way back to the farmer—a prerequisite for the Légendes line—we believe Yemen holds such an important place in the history of coffee that it had to be included in this collection of the world’s finest coffees. The Qima teams select and purchase the cherries from a network of small-scale producers, here in the village of Ans, perched at 2,000 meters. For this competition lot, only the finest cherries undergo fermentation, without using water—a scarce resource in Yemen. Here, a dry carbonic maceration process is used, which gives the coffee this extravagant yet well-controlled profile.
