"Yemeni coffee is traditionally grown on terraced fields carved into the landscape, at altitudes of about 1,800 to 2,700 masl."

Summary of producer

Smallholders

High elevated areas in Yemen are known for being the first place to cultivate coffee after it was brought to the region in the 15th Century by Sufi Monks. From here, it grew with coffee being exported it the 16th Century from the port of Al-Makha which gave birth to the name of the Mocha drink known around the world today.

In the 19th Century exports of coffee reached more than 57,000 MT at its peak which is a very different story to today with less than 20,000 MT. The coffee is produced on small, terraced farms in high mountains in very simple ways. All coffee is hand-picked, grown with the use of natural organic fertilizers and dried and dried on raised beds or roof tops.

In the counties of the Sana Governorate, southwest of the governorate, there is an area that consists of high mountains, plateaus and valleys, reaching an altitude of approximately 1,700-2100 meters above sea level. In total, there are around 2,000 farmers in this region.

Due to the geographical nature of Haraz, the cold environment of the high mountains was created, as was the hot environment of the valleys near the surface of the sea. This geographical diversity gave the city an agricultural specificity that is rarely found on the Yemeni soil, and this specificity characterized the city until the eighties of the last century when drought invaded the region and forced its people to leave agriculture and go to trade. In villages where there are beautiful green terraces filled with coffee trees, various fresh fruits and stunning landscapes.

Haraz has been known since ancient times for the production of the finest Yemeni coffee, where coffee trees are grown in its valleys, and watered from its rivers, and therefore it is not strange that the city of Haraz is one of the most important monuments in Yemen.

Coffee farmers are serviced by 9 collection points, to which they deliver beans every 3-4 days in the season. Mocha Mill, where the coffee in this package comes from, has been working here for 4 years. Cooperation with local farmers began with providing them with knowledge about the production of high-quality coffee.

Wadi Al-Maa was selected to run experimental processing batches due to the location, water availability, and the natural profile of the cup. The Mocha Mill team was able to work with growers throughout the season to implement harvest plans to care for the trees and then during the harvest season to ship the freshly harvested cherry directly to their wet mill.

Summary of variety

Jaadi

Yemen contains unique genetic diversity not found in the rest of the world. Arabica coffee originated in Ethiopia but spread to the world via Yemen. In scientific terms, Yemeni coffees are a sub-population of Ethiopian arabicas.

Summary of production

Carbonic Maceration CMX

The coffee cherries in this micro-lot were washed and floated before being placed in sealed barrels where carbo dioxide (CO2) is added to generate an oxygen free environment during 2 days. The coffee was then transferred to be skin dried for 3 days before being shade dried in a purpose built warehouse where the humidity and temperature is monitored. The coffee is dried for 40 days whilst being turned regularly.
