YEMEN SAGEER AL KHOULANI AA

A juicy and fruit-forward cup balanced with a white chocolate sweetness. Complex, but not your prototypical Yemeni coffee. This coffee is a natural processed Dawairy variety produced by a single farmer, Sageer Al Khoulani in the village of Masar in West Haraz, Yemen.

Tasting notes:

☠️ Blackcurrant

☠️ White Chocolate

☠️ Banana

☠️ Apricot

The coffee is part of our Transparent Origins series purchased via Direct Trade by our green coffee organization WE THE ORIGIN, directly from Yemeni coffee producer Sabcomeed.

Sageer Al Khoulani inherited his farm from his father with about 300 coffee trees. He produced only 31kg of coffee during the harvest, making this an extremely rare nano-lot.

“Yemen has become the largest humanitarian crisis in the world,” states the UN. There are 24 million people in need of aid. Yemen has exported coffee globally for almost 500 years and their economy is tied to global coffee consumption.

In this video message below, Abdulrahman Saeed from Sabcomeed shares a simple way for us to buy coffee and help the people of Yemen.
