Yemen Mocha Ismaili Coffee

CUP PROFILE

This coffee offers a poignant, complex, and fruity taste. Its dark and deep notes are extremely sought after and appreciated, for example: sage, tobacco, leather, dried fruits, notes of cardamom and wood.

Its aroma intensity is more extreme after it has rested for 24 hours after roasting and these aromatics really emerge once the coffee is ground, revealing its true aroma, what we call “Yemen Syndrome”.

Once you drink a cup of this coffee, any other coffee will look a bit bland in comparison.

SUGGESTED EXTRACTION METHOD(S)

√ Good in filter coffee
