Review: An unexpected melody of delight - Let me first tell the story behind why I was seeking coffee produced in the mountains of Yemen. I was sitting in a coffee shop doing some computer work and took a break to ease my mind. I started gazing around the shop and became focused on a map of the world, and on this map was a region where coffee is grown around the world. This "coffee belt" occurs between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. I was a bit shocked of the extent of this region as I thought coffee is best suited for growth around the equator. Anyways, upon investigating the map I saw that the country of Yemen falls within this region. I thought to myself, "hmm, I was under the impression that Yemen is an predominately flat and arid dessert, how can coffee grow there?", it turns out that there is a fairly high (~10,000 feet) mountain range in Yemen, the Sarawat mountains. These mountains are semiarid and receive enough rainfall to support the coffee plants. Furthermore, Yemen is one of the origin places for coffee and this variety is relatively unaltered from its original cultivation. This was so fascinating to learn as I had no idea and thought coffee originated in Ethiopia and Southeast Asia (e.g. Vietnam). One of the interesting things I noticed with this variety is that the arabica coffee beans are the smallest I've ever seen, measuring about 8mm x 6 mm x 3mm (LxWxD, split bean). I'm assuming this has to do with the limited rainfall in this region and occurrence of droughts. I'm not trained in using flavor notes of coffee but I typically like a dark roast that is nutty, earthy, bold, but not bitter or chalky. A little bit of flowery notes and sweetness is perfect for me, but not too much. This variety hits all of that. Every time I make a cup using the pour-over method, I'm always wanting another cup afterwards. I haven't tried this as an espresso of french press, but I'm sure it won't disappoint. Definitely going to buy this again.
Review: Uniquely Delicious - Very interesting coffee with unique flavor profiles. Definitely worth the price.

Very interesting coffee with unique flavor profiles. Definitely worth the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best coffee I have ever had ... really ☺️
*by I***H on February 9, 2021*

I am a fan for life! I watched a story on Counter Space (Vineland channel) regarding Yemen coffee and how perfectly grown and roasted it was. I decided to try this brand and must say, being a coffee fiend, that this silky, full bodied goodness is drenched in tender care and people that really know coffee. Buy a bag and see if you aren’t convinced that no one in the world grows coffee like the Yemini coffee growers. ☕️ ✨❤️
