Origin Details

Yemen

Region: Haraz (Haraaz)
Processing: Natural
Species: Arabica
Varietals: Heirloom Ethiopian varieties
Altitude: High altitude
Harvest: Seasonal, small-lot production
This coffee is sourced from the Haraz region of Yemen, a historic highland area where coffee is grown on steep, terraced mountains using traditional farming methods. The challenging terrain and arid climate result in low yields but exceptional flavour concentration.

Grown at high elevations, coffee cherries mature slowly, developing intensity and depth. Yemeni coffees are typically naturally processed, with cherries dried whole, allowing sugars and fruit character to fully develop. This contributes to the region’s signature profile, often marked by cocoa richness, dried fruit sweetness, and wine-like acidity.

Produced in small volumes and varying by harvest, Haraz coffees are valued for their complexity, individuality, and deep-rooted place in coffee history.

A Unique and Flavorful Cup

""Really enjoyed this Yemen Mocha. The aroma is excellent—rich and inviting. I tried it both as espresso and pour over, and it showed a lot of character in both methods. As espresso, it was bold and intense with a deep chocolate profile. As a pour over, it opened up with notes of dark chocolate, berry, cinnamon, and a subtle wine-like complexity. A strong, memorable coffee with plenty of depth. ""

— Dave A. (5/5)

Good stuff. I use this

"Good stuff. I use this as a close enough replacement for Peet’s Arabian Mocha Sanini, which is a pain to import into Canada now."

The coffee, unfortunately, tastes burnt.

"The coffee, unfortunately, tastes burnt. There is no discernible flavour other than this. I was very disappointed considering it was so highly recommended."

— Katie R. (1/5)

The coffee is great but

"The coffee is great but I just wish the packaging was a bit more air-tight so as to preserve the flavor. I orderd 5 0. 5lb packs but I'm sure the flavor will deteriorate by the time I'm on my third pack."
