Flavor Description

This lot challenges the "wild and heavy" stereotype of Yemeni coffee. Expect stunning orange blossom and coffee flower notes, followed by delicate lychee and white grape acidity. A soft honey-like mid-palate leads into an elegant white wine finish.

Origin Highlight

Al-Hayma, meaning "tent" in Arabic, is a rugged, high-altitude region with thin, dry air. These extreme conditions slow cherry maturation to a crawl, concentrating high-frequency aromatic compounds.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: 92-94°C water. Use high temperature and a fast pour to capture the volatile floral top notes. Avoid over-extraction to prevent spicy undertones from masking the delicacy.
  • Tip: A "refined" Yemeni profile, perfect for lovers of Ethiopian washed or Panamanian Geisha.
