DAY 20

THE PRODUCER

Nasir, 60, is from Hayma Kharijiya and has been growing coffee since the age of 15 with his father. Nasir learned everything he knew about coffee from his father and adopted his passion for growing coffee trees. His farm is about 200 libna (a unit of measurement used frequently in Yemen) and he has planted more than 100 new trees in recent years. In addition to coffee, he also grows cereals, corn and barley. His family helps him a lot on the farm, and over the past two years his sons have started to take on more responsibilities. Bait Alal is a village located in the Hayma Kharijiya region, west of the city of Sanaa. Perched on the top of a mountain, it rises to an altitude of 2300m and is home to around 300 farming families. For them, the coffee tree is a symbol of pride. The land has been passed down from generation to generation and some coffee trees date back over 300 years.

TREATMENT

Natural treatment is common in regions and countries where access to water is limited. After picking and sorting the ripe cherries, they are dried completely intact on patios (including the skin, flesh and mucilage) and are regularly turned to avoid the formation of mold. When the cherries have reached the optimal humidity level (between 10% and 12%), the beans are removed.

PROFILE AND BOTANICAL VARIETY

Yemenia which translates into Arabic as Yemeni mother is the most important discovery in the world of Arabica coffee since the 1900s. Yemenia features berry notes similar to SL-28, but with the sweetness of yellow bourbon and aromatic complexity of Geisha. In this coffee, you can find delicate notes of dragon fruit, dried dates, pear, baked apples, lavender and cocoa. This coffee will amaze you with its complexity and delicate notes.

Good tasting !
