Coffee production in Yemen has drastically decreased in recent years due to the unfortunate ongoing conflict. The availability of beans is scare and the prices are high. These beans are grown high in the Haraaz mountains (also spelt Haraz) and benefit from the consistently warm climate. Yemeni coffee has a long history, and is the origin of the term Coffea Arabica. Yemeni coffee has been highly respected for hundreds of years due high quality and distinguished taste profile. It's a simple case of supply and demand here, and until the supply increases significantly, the prices will remain high.

This coffee is expensive, there's no denying that. Are Yemen Haraaz coffee beans worth the price? In our opinion, yes. Although perhaps not an every day coffee, this is a great option for a special occasion or gift. This coffee is rich and complex, a wide variety of notable aspects are balanced into a distinguished profile. Notes of fruit, wine and dark chocolate can be tasted. A hint of smoky sweetness and a bright, wine-toned acidity add to the complexity. This one will be enjoyed most by experienced coffee drinkers, as there is a lot going on! If you haven't tried Yemeni coffee, treat yourself!
