Yemeni Unroasted Coffee Beans

Characteristics of Yemen Green Coffee Beans

Yemeni green coffee beans are always a hot commodity. Yemen is considered by many historians to be the birthplace of coffee itself. However, due to the continual instability of the country, Yemeni coffee has been off the table for many years. Recently, there has been a resurgence of the coffee industry in Yemen, leading to availability of this very desirable coffee. However, because of the relative unpredictability of the country’s government, these beans still can be difficult to come by. And, the relatively low supply consistently drives up the price of these elusive beans.

When you can get your hands on Yemeni green coffee beans you will note why these beans are so sought after. Yemeni coffee beans are grown on the same terraced mountainsides that have grown coffee beans for centuries. They are minimally processed and typically dried on rooftops or other elevated surfaces in the whole cherry before they are milled. Yemeni coffee typically produces a very complex, velvety cup when roasted that tastes of chocolate, vanilla, and red fruit. They really are a delight, so snatch them up when they are available.
