Tasting notes:
Complex and winey. Notes of raspberry, white chocolate, grapes, honey, clove, hazelnuts, vanilla, and clove. Elegant acidity with a clean body and long aftertaste.

As time passes, more notes will appear and others will vanish.

These notes were preserved by our team during our cupping sessions using an evaluation roasting profile. Based on what roasting level you’ll be brewing, you can expect to have more notes in the cup.

Packaging
Because we believe in sustainability, our coffee is carefully packed in a 100% recyclable bag with one-way valve and a ziplock to keep it fresh for as long as possible.
Roasting & Freshness
Our coffee is freshly roasted to order in small batches. Please consider some time to rest the coffee (Degas) before brewing it to enjoy the best experience.
Brewing Tips
This coffee is very dense. We highly recommend to brew it using cooler water than you usually use with other origines and/or grind it finer.

About the farmer:
Ghalib AlHamasi is a 49 years old gentleman and is the sixth generation in his family who works with coffee. He comes from an hardworking family that works in several industries besides coffee cultivation. Mr.Ghalib has chosen to dedicate his life to coffee not only because of how much he loves it but also because he faithfully believes that it is more sustainable than any other industry and can change people’s lives in his region and in Yemen in general.

One of his hobbies is to experiment with coffee processing at his farm by applying the techniques he had learned from his great grandparents that have been used for more than 600 years and combine them with the innovation of specialty coffee. As a result, the coffee he produces is a true sensory adventure.

About Haraz:
Haraz is a mountainous region of Yemen between the cities of Sana’a and Al-Hudaydah. It is considered within the range of Sarawat. In the 11th century, it was the fortress of the Sulayhid Dynasty, many of the buildings still survive today. It includes Jabal An-Nabi Shu’ayb, the highest mountain in Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula. Due to its location between the coastal plain of Tihamah and Sanaa, this mountainous area has always been strategically important. A stopping point for the caravan during the Himyarite Kingdom, the Haraz was later the stronghold of the Sulayhid dynasty, which established itself in Yemen in 1037.

In general, Yemeni coffees are best consumed after 12-18 days from the roasting date and up to 12-16 weeks because of the degassing process. Notes will vary depending on the conserving way and time, but always a delicious cup of coffee.
