What This Coffee Tastes Like

Yemen Mocha is one of the most historically significant and distinctive coffee origins in the world. Sourced from Yemen’s highland growing regions, it is known for its depth, complexity, and unmistakable flavour profile.

This coffee delivers a rich, layered cup with natural sweetness and dried fruit character, offering an experience that stands apart from more conventional single origin coffees.

Roast Profile

Medium Roast

The medium roast of Yemen Mocha highlights depth, sweetness, and natural complexity. Expect flavours of cocoa, dried fig, and red grape, supported by a medium body and distinctive wine-like acidity.

This roast preserves the bold character of traditional Yemeni coffee while remaining balanced, making it well suited for pour-over, espresso, and French press.

Origin Details

Yemen

Region: Haraz (Haraaz)
Processing: Natural
Species: Arabica
Varietals: Heirloom Ethiopian varieties
Altitude: High altitude
Harvest: Seasonal, small-lot production
This coffee is sourced from the Haraz region of Yemen, a historic highland area where coffee is grown on steep, terraced mountains using traditional farming methods. The challenging terrain and arid climate result in low yields but exceptional flavour concentration.

Grown at high elevations, coffee cherries mature slowly, developing intensity and depth. Yemeni coffees are typically naturally processed, with cherries dried whole, allowing sugars and fruit character to fully develop. This contributes to the region’s signature profile, often marked by cocoa richness, dried fruit sweetness, and wine-like acidity.

Produced in small volumes and varying by harvest, Haraz coffees are valued for their complexity, individuality, and deep-rooted place in coffee history.

The coffee is great but

"The coffee is great but I just wish the packaging was a bit more air-tight so as to preserve the flavor. I orderd 5 0. 5lb packs but I'm sure the flavor will deteriorate by the time I'm on my third pack."
