ethiopia coffee
by qima cafe · london, uk
you'll taste jasmine before floral. this is ethiopia . sidama hada natural, a natural ethiopia from qima cafe.
it tastes floral and sweet, with jasmine and honeycomb as the most prominent characteristics, supported by honey throughout. the natural process adds depth to that sweetness without introducing sharpness.
it comes from the sidama region of ethiopia and is processed using the natural method, where whole cherries are dried before milling, allowing the fruit to impart sweetness directly into the bean.
filter methods such as pour-over or aeropress work well here, preserving the jasmine and floral notes that define this coffee. keep water temperature moderate, around 90-93°c, to avoid masking the delicate aromatics.
qima cafe sits on warren street like it's been waiting for you to find it. the 4.8-star rating from nearly 500 reviews tells one story, but the real narrative happens when you taste what they're doing with their beans. this isn't the kind of place that talks endlessly about their process. they just do the work. the espresso pulls clean and bright, with the kind of balance that makes you understand why people become coffee obsessives. pastries arrive warm from wherever they source them, pairing beautifully with whatever's in your cup. regulars know the rhythm here. they've found something that works and they stick with it. warren street has plenty of options, but qima operates differently than the chains surrounding it. smaller batches, more attention, actual care in every pour. sometimes the best places are the ones that don't need to shout about what they're doing.
