Qima Coffee and the Alliance for Coffee Excellence (ACE) are proud to announce their continued partnership to launch the seventh edition of the Private Collection Auction series in Yemen: The Best of Yemen 2026.
The auction will be on September 10th, 2026.
The Best of Yemen auction returns for its seventh edition, showcasing some of the most distinctive, high-impact coffees Yemen has to offer.
This year, we’re not just celebrating coffee. We’re honouring the people, places, and traditions behind it. Living Legacy is the theme. Terraces carved by hand. Trees older than empires. Cultivation methods passed through generations. And the culture that gave the world coffee itself.
It is a celebration of continuity in the face of adversity. From the first cultivated trees to the rediscovery of Yemenia. From ancient caravan routes to highland farms still thriving today. This is a tribute to the farmers, the families, and the knowledge that endures. Still alive. Still growing. Still brewing.
