The Yemen Mahal Aqeequl is a natural process coffee that is a part of our Highland Collection. It features notes of savory spices, wine and a rich berry sweetness. It becomes sweeter as it cools. This coffee has so much to offer. We find that every time we try it there are more layers of flavor to be uncovered. It’s really exciting and uncommon to see coffees like this in Yemen that are both excellent quality and fully traceable.
We really love this coffee, not only because of the amazing characteristics, but the impact that it has on the farmers and the coffee culture in Yemen as a whole. By purchasing this coffee, you are partnering with us to better the livelihood of everyone involved, helping farmers receive higher prices while incentivizing ways to better their crop for higher quality coffee.
This coffee is substantially different from the norm of the Yemen coffee market. Typically coffee is harvested, then dried to be sold later over a longer period of time, reducing traceability and freshness of the cherries. This Haraaz Red grade Mahal Aqeequl is purchased directly from producers who have picked or sorted perfectly ripe fruit and delivered it immediately after harvest. Fully traceable through producer ID cards. Coffee is dried on raised beds and milled in Sana'a.
Thanks for reading, now enjoy some good coffee!
