Cupping notes:
If you roast it light, there is some tart fruit in the background - it's a complex coffee. If you take it just into the rolling 2nd cracks, (Dark-Medium to Dark), you have a rich cocoa-tasting espresso, or a wild cup of coffee to drink as is. If you want less bitterness and more snappy acidity, pull it out after just a few snaps of the 2nd cracks (Dark-medium), and it’s an exotic complex cup that emphasizes more of the sweeter tones and less of the bitter ones.
Yemen coffees are wild and amazing, rich, hoppy, chocolatey cups that keep you going back for more and more. The bean sizes range from tiny to large, there are broken beans, there are defects in here -- but that's every Yemen lot of coffee there is. And Yemen coffee is amazing.
General notes: Yemen is a natural process coffee, which means it roasts fast and needs less flame. It is the mokka varietal, which is very hard to grow and only naturally grows in Yemen and Ethiopia. I'm not claiming that Yemen is worth its price, but Yemen coffee is extremely dangerous to export, expensive to get through customs, and very rare. There is no other coffee in the world that tastes like Yemen, and so you just have to pay the price if you love the taste (which I do). It does NOT support terrorism. It supports the small farmers who are trying to make an honest living and need support.
Recommended Roast: Medium to Dark
Good For: Pour Over, Full Immersion, and Blends
