AL Subaih Special Reserve. Yemenia. Cafe de Yemen

About This Coffee

This exceptional coffee is a Special Reserve from the Subaih family in Bait Alal, Yemen. Grown at 2350 meters altitude in the Hayma Kharijiya region of Sana'a, this is a genetically verified Yemenia variety, a recently identified population within Coffea arabica found exclusively in Yemen. The coffee is processed using traditional natural methods, where hand-picked cherries are dried on elevated parabolic beds for 15-25 days. The result is a coffee with distinctive notes of watermelon, strawberry, mandarin, and honey, showcasing the unique terroir and 600-year-old cultivation heritage of Yemen.
