Single Origin Yemen - Mokha Matari (Limited Stock)

from $12.00

Although I prefer a lighter roast, this batch is roasted at a between a Light and Medium. This Yemeni coffee captivates with its rustic charm and syrupy sweetness, layered with a complex interplay of dry to ripe fruit notes, deep earthiness, and warm spice accents.

The dry fragrance impresses with a rich medley of dried fruits, chai-like spices, sandalwood, and musky tobacco—evoking an exotic, almost incense-like depth.

The aromatics evolve dramatically: honeyed sweetness gives way to wood-spice incense, complemented by cooked pumpkin, brown sugar, and subtle caramelized undertones.

Yemeni coffees, being naturally processed and often high-grown with distinctive hard beans, benefit significantly from extended resting after roasting. Aromatics begin to open at 12–24 hours but truly flourish after 72+ hours (3+ days), revealing greater complexity, body, and balance. This effect is amplified for espresso, where longer rest—often 5–14 days or more—allows the bold, wild character to integrate fully without sharpness from trapped CO₂ or underdeveloped notes.

Patience rewards the fullest expression of this rare origin's signature winey acidity, chocolate hints, and spiced fruit profile.

We roast this coffee to a lighter profile than our standard offerings, allowing the bean's distinctive origin character—vibrant acidity, nuanced fruit notes, and delicate florals—to shine through brightly while preserving its natural complexity.
