The Bilqis Collection
The Queen
Bilqis was no ordinary ruler. Her visit to King Solomon, detailed in the Kebra Nagast and other ancient texts, showcased a woman who commanded respect, challenged expectations, and sought knowledge above all. Her reign symbolizes luxury, diplomacy, and an appreciation for life’s finest offerings.
It’s these same qualities we sought to capture in The Bilqis Collection, a regal experience in every cup.
Bilqis Reimagined
In the birthplace of coffee, where misty highlands meet ancient trade routes, the legend of Bilqis better known as the Queen of Sheba still echoes through time. Revered for her wisdom, wealth, and beauty, Bilqis ruled a powerful kingdom believed to span parts of modern-day Ethiopia and Yemen. Her stories have inspired poets, historians, and monarchs for millennia.
At Sheba Coffee, we honour this extraordinary queen through The Bilqis Collection: a selection of our most exquisite Ethiopian coffees, crafted to embody the richness and majesty of her legacy.
The Flavours of Royalty
Each coffee in The Bilqis Collection comes from carefully selected micro-lots across Ethiopia’s storied regions, where heirloom varietals thrive under centuries-old farming traditions.
Expect flavour notes as layered as the queen’s own legend:
Honeyed sweetness and jasmine florals, evoking treasures from her fabled gardens.
A velvety body as smooth as royal silks.
A lingering, wine-like finish that whispers stories of ancient kingdoms with every sip.
Our Q-graded, single-origin beans ensure every batch meets the highest standards a cup worthy of a queen.
Honouring Her Homeland
The Bilqis Collection isn’t just about extraordinary taste it’s about honouring the land and people that gave rise to both coffee and the Queen of Sheba herself.
Through Sheba Coffee’s direct partnerships with Ethiopian farmers, we:
- Pay premium prices for top-quality harvests.
- Support sustainable farming methods.
- Empower communities in the birthplace of coffee.
This commitment continues Bilqis’s legacy of prosperity and respect for her people.
