Yemen Al Obrah

Coffee overview

Last batch roasted Mar 13 2025

This coffee was mistakenly labeled as a washed process on the label. It is a natural process!

A sensational nano lot representing a single village's output, Al Obrah represents the very best of an ancient heritage of coffee cultivation in Yemen. Meticulous processing and traceability elevate this lot to exude heavy dried-fruit sugariness, sweet pastry, and slight floral character. A very light Yemen black-tea marker remains on the finish. Little to no earthy character. Absolutely stunning. Sweetness on another level.
