Product Description

Yemen Mocha Matari: Heavy bodied, a little milk chocolate and slightly truffle-y This Matari also has some very subtle fruity spice to cinnamon notes. Yemen beans are notorious for roasting unevenly, but don’t be tempted to sort them- this translates to a complex, interesting cup that's never exactly the same twice. The aroma of the ground coffee is exotic and heady; take a moment to savor it before brewing no matter how desperate you are for your morning fix.

Although not certified, this coffee is definitely organic.

Roasting and brewing tips: At just a little past full city, you'll get the full spectrum of fruit-spice-wine-flavors. Go a bit darker and you lose most of the fruit, but it's still an interesting cup. Nice for a press, drip, or Americano, but a bit too wild and harsh for a single origin espresso shot.

Yemen is a very dense, small-bean coffee grown at very high altitudes. Expect it to take slightly longer than usual to reach your desired roast level. Yemen beans vary widely in size and you will not get an absolutely even roast color, but don’t pick out the lighter or darker beans— it all contributes to the complexity of the cup!

If you’re roasting in an Alpenrost or Behmor, be aware that the tiny beans may fall through, or lodge in, the holes in the drum and burn, use the finer screen drum on your Behmor roaster.

This coffee demands a minimum of 48 hours rest to give the body and complex flavors time to develop. It’s worth the wait!
