Coffee from Yemen
- In stock, ready to ship
Khawlani coffee (Lot code BB) has a cupping score of 86 and a flavor description with notes of cocoa, hazelnuts and honey. Clean and full-bodied with low acidity. It is of the Odaini variety and grows at an altitude of 18-2000 meters in the Khawlani region of Yemen.
This is our special warfair coffee from an area that has been very hard hit by the war.
The coffee is grown by the two brothers Ali and Faisal Marwan who, with their families, have the farms Jalat Al-Enab and Al-Masa'arah. The families hand-pick the coffee berries and dry them under the sun, so that they are post-harvest processed naturally. We pay US$ 17 for the coffee.
Our partner, Yemen Journey, has supplied nets stretched on frames for drying, and is working with the families to improve the quality. The import therefore contributes to the development of coffee production in the remote and very poor area. It is our coffee that makes the biggest difference.

Yemen was the first country in the world to export coffee from the port city of Mocha in the 17th century and produces some of the world's finest and most sought-after coffees.
The coffee trees grow in the high, dry, sun-drenched mountains in gorges and on terraces where the scarce water collects. The coffees are natural coffees, grown in microlots, where each variety and field is kept separate. No artificial fertilizers or pesticides are used.
The coffee is delivered in 250 g whole beans - roasted according to gentle and customized roasting profiles by Holy Bean Coffee Roasters . Store in the refrigerator at 6 degrees.
We have two Yemeni coffees: Ja'adi and Khawlani .
