About Jampot Coffee

Most coffee sales jobs involve selling coffee; this one is different. Jampot Coffee is the roasted expression of Qima Coffee's global sourcing platform. We work directly with producing regions across Yemen, Colombia, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Uganda and beyond, giving our customers access to coffees, stories, and relationships that most roasters simply cannot offer.

We roast in London, operate our own cafés, and work across the coffee value chain in a way that very few businesses do. Our customers come to us because we offer:

• Direct access to exceptional coffees from origin.
• Strong pricing and reliable supply.
• Genuine expertise across the coffee value chain.
• A growing hospitality platform through Qima Café.
• Additional product opportunities through our sister bakery business.
