Yemen’s port of Mokha has played a vital role in the global spread of coffee, and its farms preserve a rich diversity of unique and delicious coffee varieties that are well adapted to harsh climates. Despite this history, most coffee drinkers haven't tasted Yemeni coffee. Years of war have made sourcing it very challenging. However, with the support of our Yemen-based export partner, Mokha Story, we have established a purchasing relationship with Hassan Assalol, a farmer in Eastern Haraz. We have been buying Hassan’s coffee since 2018 and have collaborated on processing experiments and even a Seeds project. Hassan’s coffee exemplifies Yemen’s distinctive cup profile, featuring intricate fruit complexity, a unique spiced quality, and a perfumed floral finish. It feels almost unfair to choose only three words to describe this coffee, but we'll call it fruit punch, cardamom, and rose. Pronunciation: hah-SAHN ah-sah-LOHL Coffee will roast Thursday, April 16
