"Mattari" is a term of territory distinction in Yemen. It refers to high quality coffees that grow in a subtropical climate and sandy loam soil in the Mattari-Sayhee mountain valley of Sana'a in western Yemen. 98 farmers from this region bring us this traditionally processed lot: natural, hand-picked, sorted for consistency, and dried in a single layer in full sun on raised beds or rooftops.

Yemen coffee requires expert knowledge spanning multiple generations, and the Muslot family has been the most dedicated since the 1970s. Now reborn in the 2000s as Pearl of Tehama for Import and Export, it is still owned by Fatoum Muslot. Hardships are constant in Yemen, but the disruption of international trade has not stopped the Muslot family and Pearl of Tehama from exporting this coffee with the highest quality.

Cupping Notes: Peach, blueberry, cascara, maple, and herbal.
