Yemen: Mocca Peaberry, Sa'adah Governorate

On terraced mountainsides around Ṣa‘dah, Yemen’s heirloom coffee is sun‑dried whole‑cherry on rooftops and patios—methods unchanged for centuries. Peaberry selections isolate single‑seed beans that roast evenly and often taste extra‑concentrated. Kept light in the roaster, this lot shows classic Mocca character: cocoa and spice in the nose, dried date/raisin sweetness, and a thread of citrus zest that brightens without sharpness. Hints of rose and cardamom float over a honey‑cane core. Acidity reads lively and precise; texture is silky and tea‑like. Expect a clean, lingering finish where cocoa, citrus, and dried‑fruit tones resolve with quiet, old‑world elegance.
