Description

A rare expression of Yemen’s highland coffee, this Micro Lot comes from Haymah, where coffee is cultivated on steep mountain terraces at elevations of 1,800–2,200 MASL. The combination of high altitude, slow cherry development and careful processing produces a distinctive cup with juicy fruit character, gentle sweetness and subtle cocoa notes, finishing smooth with a refined, lingering sweetness.

Anaerobic Natural Process
In an anaerobic natural process, ripe coffee cherries are first fermented in a controlled environment with very limited oxygen. After fermentation, the cherries are dried whole, allowing the coffee to retain much of the fruit’s sugars and aromatic compounds. This combination can create a more pronounced fruit character, sweetness and complexity in the cup.

Coffee from Haymah

Haymah is one of Yemen’s historic highland coffee-growing areas. Its coffee is cultivated on mountain terraces and valleys, with elevations commonly around 1,800–2,200 metres. The region’s challenging terrain, high elevation and traditional smallholder farming contribute to the distinctive character of its coffees.

Yemen’s coffee sector remains largely built around small-scale farmers, with coffee grown across mountainous and terraced landscapes. These conditions, combined with Yemen’s heirloom coffee populations and traditional farming practices, give its specialty coffees a character that is difficult to replicate elsewhere.

A cup that brings together Yemen’s heritage with modern coffee processing — vibrant fruit, gentle cocoa and a beautifully sweet finish.
