Yemen Qima Coffee Yemenia Alchemy

Summary

This coffee comes from Yemen, specifically from Bait Waseel in Hayma Dakhiliya, Sana'a, produced by Qima Yemen in collaboration with farmers around Bait Waseel. It is made from the Yemenia variety, a newly identified maternal genetic group found only in Yemen. The lot is part of Qima Coffee's Competition & 90+ Series and was processed using the Alchemy Process, a proprietary post-harvest method involving aerobic fermentation, carbonic maceration, anaerobic fermentation, and staged drying. Roasted light, it offers interwoven flavors of mixed berry jam and blood orange, sweet-tart apricot and cherry liqueur, and an orangette-like sweetness in the finish.
