Yemen QIMA Alchemy Al Ofairi XI

THREE COFFEE

Details

Aromas of dried apricot, dark cocoa, and candied citrus open to notes of honeyed dates and rosewater. Grown 1,900 – 2,200 masl in western Yemen’s rugged Ans belt, Yemenia cherries undergo Qima’s proprietary Alchemy post-harvest protocol: pressurised carbonic maceration, precision temperature control, and managed drying. The result is an espresso-to-filter superstar complex, fruit-forward, yet unmistakably rooted in Yemen’s ancient coffee heritage.
