Summary of producer

Yahya

Yemen is a country that has exported coffee globally since the 16th century.

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. It is also unfortunate to have become a country of the largest humanitarian crisis in the world.

Summary of production

Natural Anaerobic NAX

The coffee cherries in this micro-lot were washed and floated before being placed in sealed barrels for 48 hours. 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 can be controlled. The coffee is dried for 40 days whilst being turned regularly. Total drying time can vary depending on climate conditions.
