Yemen is located on the Arabian Peninsula, across the Red Sea from northern Africa, and was the first site of farmed coffee cultivation. Coffee was introduced in the 6th century by traders from the Harrar region of Ethiopia. 

Yemen has a unique coffee culture. Exporters do not buy from farms, but through an extensive network of middlemen. Local buyers receive coffee in the pod, the entire dried cherry, and that is stored, usually in underground caverns. The coffee bean actually exported is usually the oldest of their stocks. This is the way it has always been. Yemeni growers are not hurt by this system with so many middlemen, largely because the coffee land under cultivation is limited and the crop is in such high demand.

Although none of the Yemen coffee is officially certified organic, it is all grown using traditional methods, with no chemicals.

Yemeni coffee beans are among the most distinct and prized coffees in the world - earthy, complex, and pungent. Give this distinctive coffee a try, and don't blame us if you become addicted to its unusual taste!
