Your guide to Yemen Green Coffee

  • What makes Yemeni coffee special?

    Yemeni coffee stands out for its unparalleled heritage and exquisite flavor profile. Grown in the high-altitude, mountainous regions of Yemen, these arabica beans develop a unique sweetness that’s cherished by coffee enthusiasts worldwide. However, the dry climate and challenging terrain make cultivation a labor-intensive process. Combined with traditional, low-tech processing methods, Yemeni coffee production is slower and yields are smaller compared to other origins.
    This meticulous approach and limited availability contribute to its rarity and higher cost, making Yemeni coffee a true treasure for specialty coffee lovers. Its storied history, artisanal production, and distinctive taste ensure Yemeni coffee remains a special and valued origin for brewing.

  • What is the profile of coffee from Yemen?

    Yemeni coffee is celebrated for its complex and distinctive flavour profile. Often characterised by earthy undertones, it also reveals hints of dried fruit, cinnamon, cardamom, or tobacco, with a lingering chocolate finish that delights the palate. Its medium body, bright acidity, and well-balanced nature make it a favorite among specialty coffee enthusiasts.

    Grown at high altitudes, Yemeni coffee benefits from the slower maturation of the coffee cherries, which helps preserve their natural sweetness. These unique characteristics, combined with the artisanal cultivation practices of Yemen, result in a truly unique coffee profile.

  • What is our relationship with Yemeni farmers?

    To ensure Yemeni farmers receive fair compensation and access to global markets, we work closely with our sourcing partner, Sheba Coffee. Together, we empower farmers by providing the tools, resources, and direct support they need to succeed, while championing sustainable practices that preserve Yemen’s coffee heritage. By guaranteeing fair prices and fostering a self-sustaining, competitive coffee industry, we help safeguard Yemen’s rich coffee culture for future generations.
    With Sheba Coffee, we prioritize quality and transparency at every step—from cultivation to the final cup. This includes ethically sourcing beans and meticulously preserving the distinct flavors and aromas that make Yemeni coffee exceptional. Our commitment to traceability ensures you can connect with the inspiring stories of the farmers behind each cup.
    Additionally, we celebrate Yemen’s shared coffee history with Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. This connection is at the heart of our offerings, which honor both Ethiopia’s traditional coffee ceremonies and Yemen’s historic coffee houses. By collaborating with Sheba Coffee, we ensure you’re part of this incredible legacy while directly supporting Yemeni farming communities and their future.
