Flavor Description

Ibb is often seen as one of the more approachable faces of Yemen. This classic natural shows jujube, raisin, cocoa powder, and brown sugar sweetness. The boozy character is more restrained than Haraaz, yet it still carries the concentrated dried-fruit depth and body that define Mocha coffees.

Why It Belongs Here

If some Yemeni coffees are known for wildness, Ibb feels more like a refined traditional expression. It helps first-time drinkers understand the core structure of Mocha flavor without overwhelming them with excessive fermentation.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: 90–91°C water, ratio 1:15
  • Tip: A medium-fine grind with a steady low-flow pour helps concentrate the brown sugar and dried-fruit sweetness
