Yemen Coffee

About Yemen coffee

One of the oldest coffee cultures on earth — coffee was first traded commercially through the Yemeni port of Mocha. Still grown on ancient mountain terraces in tiny quantities.

What it tastes like

Deep, wild and complex: dried fruit, chocolate, spice and a winey, almost fermented intensity. Rustic and unforgettable.

How it's grown & processed

Sun-dried on rooftops with heirloom varieties and almost no irrigation, producing rare small-lot coffees. Key regions: Haraz, Bani Matar, Sana'a.

Best way to brew it

Medium roast; wonderful as a rich filter or characterful espresso. New to dialing in your brew? Our brew calculator and recipe guides have you covered.
