This coffee is bursting with jammy sweetness and vibrant florals, offering a cup that’s both indulgent and refreshing. Grown in the lush highlands of Huila, Colombia, this lot showcases what makes the region so special. With its rich volcanic soil, varied microclimates, and high altitudes, Huila is home to some of Colombia’s most expressive and dynamic coffees.
 
Many of the farms here are small, family-run operations where generations of knowledge are poured into every harvest. This particular lot is made from the Caturra variety—compact, productive, and known for producing clean, sweet cups at high elevations. But what truly sets this coffee apart is the co-fermentation process it undergoes.
 
Through Qima Coffee’s meticulous and innovative approach, the fresh cherries are processed using controlled co-fermentation techniques. This allows for the development of intense fruit-forward notes and a rich, creamy texture that wouldn’t naturally occur in traditional methods.
 
Founded in 2016, Qima Coffee quickly became a leader in cutting-edge coffee processing, sustainable sourcing, and coffee genetics. After establishing itself in Yemen, Qima expanded to Colombia in 2020, applying the same farmer-first, quality-driven approach on a broader scale. By working directly with smallholder producers, Qima ensures that both innovation and impact remain at the heart of every cup.
 
Berries and Cream is a perfect expression of this mission—a celebration of bold flavor, careful craft, and the beauty of what coffee can become when tradition meets innovation.
