Yemen Mokha Mattari

This is one of my favorite coffees. It has been difficult to find a good lot in the past couple of years, but this one is a remarkable find.

This comes from pure Heirloom Yemen seedstock from the Bani Mattar region.
In the cup it is red winey fruit, tobacco spice, bittersweet chocolate, and a satisfying earthy quality that completes the cup. It is remarkable fragrant and balanced and is a welcome treasure.

This coffee is available fresh roasted by the pound at the caffe.
