Yemen is the birthplace of coffee cultivation. Grown on terraced mountain farms often above 2,000m and dried naturally in the sun, Yemeni coffee is among the rarest in the world. Its heirloom Arabica varieties, often grouped as 'Yemenia', are genetic ancestors of much of the world's coffee, giving it a depth and character found nowhere else.

Yemeni coffee is full-bodied, aromatic and complex, with rich notes of dried fruit, cocoa and chocolate, warm spice such as cinnamon and cardamom, and a wine-like natural sweetness from sun-drying. It's a bold, distinctive profile that stands apart from cleaner, brighter coffees.

Haraz (or Haraaz) is one of Yemen's most celebrated coffee regions, in the western highlands. 'Mocha' (Mokha) refers to Yemeni coffee named after the historic port of Al Mokha from which it was first shipped — and the origin of the word 'mocha'. Our Yemen Haraaz Legacy, Harazi Almasar Reserve and Yemen Mocha-Mountain all come from this heritage.

Yes. Roasted medium to medium-dark, its full body and rich, aromatic chocolate-and-spice character make a distinctive espresso — and it's equally rewarding brewed as filter or pour-over.

Infused Yemeni coffees — like Copperwood's Peach, Pomegranate and Mango — use co-fermentation or natural infusion during processing to amplify fruit character, giving vivid, aromatic flavours while keeping the distinctive Yemeni base. It's a modern specialty twist on the world's oldest coffee origin.

Yemeni coffee is genuinely rare. Yields are tiny — grown on small, high-altitude family terraces, hand-picked and sun-dried — and export from Yemen is logistically difficult. Combined with strong global demand, this makes authentic Yemeni coffee one of the most premium origins in the world.
