Our Process
The Quality Journey
Farm Selection
We partner only with farms in Yemen's legendary growing regions — Haraz, Matari, Bura'i, and Ismaili highlands above 1,500m elevation.
Hand-Picked Harvesting
All our coffee is hand-picked during peak ripeness. No mechanical harvesting — ensuring only the finest cherries are selected.
Natural Processing
Traditional sun-drying on raised beds for 2-4 weeks. Yemen's dry mountain climate creates the complex flavors the world loves.
Lab Quality Testing
Every batch is tested for moisture content (max 12%), screen size, defect count, and cupped for quality score (minimum 80 SCA points).
Precision Packaging
Packed in grain-pro or jute bags with vacuum-sealed options. Clearly labeled with origin, processing method, and harvest date.
Export Inspection
Final quality check and phytosanitary inspection before every shipment. Certificate of origin and quality docs included.
Cup Quality & Flavor Profiling
Every export lot undergoes standard SCA cupping protocols to score aroma, body, acidity, and balance — ensuring only 80+ specialty grade lots are selected.
Moisture & Defect Analysis
Raw green beans are hand-sorted and tested with digital moisture meters (strictly below 12%) and screen sieves for uniform bean density and export freshness.
