Yemen Mokha Sanani
Rustic, complex, earthy
What a joy! It’s so rare to find this. As you know, Yemen has been embroiled in conflict for some time, so just getting the coffee out is a miracle. We have roasted this coffee at a medium level to maintain a dynamic and unique profile which we find to be full of rustic flavors of tobacco, cacao nibs, spices, and stout beer. It has a huge body and coating mouthfeel with a never-ending finish! Truly a unique coffee and such a pleasurable experience. Be sure to grab some now as it is very limited and when it’s gone, it’s gone!
Full notes from our friends at Coffee Shrub-
“This Yemeni regional blend, “Sanani”, is from small-holder farmers in the broader Sana’a region. This lot was secured through Fatoum Muslot, who took over the family coffee business started by her father back in the 1950s. They’ve long exported Yemeni coffee, and since Fatoum has started managing the group, she has worked to implement practices such as more stringent hand sorting and using Ecotact storage bags in order to directly affect their coffee’s overall quality. We’re quite pleased with the physical condition of both coffees we bought from Fatoum this year, the lack of underripe coffee and shipping in Ecotact liners has really benefitted the resulting cup quality. During their long history in the coffee trade they’ve forged longstanding connections with farming groups in several growing regions, and because of these connections, are able to buy coffee in a more direct way. This lot is made up of coffee from roughly 300 farmers, who on average have 1000 trees planted on less than 1/2 hectare of land. Altitude is extremely high, starting around 2000 meters and stretching upwards of 2400 meters above sea level.”
Brewing recommendations: Great for all styles, from pour-over to espresso!
