Yemen: Northern Crown, Khulani

Khulani denotes prized coffee from villages around Khulan in Saada, where heirloom trees cling to stone terraces and cherries are sun‑dried whole on rooftops—methods carried forward for centuries. Natural processing concentrates sugars and preserves Mocca’s spice‑cocoa signature. At a measured medium roast, this lot balances cocoa and cardamom with date/raisin sweetness and a clean line of citrus zest. Soft rose and dried‑apricot hints add perfume without turning sharp. Acidity reads lively yet composed, texture lands silky and cohesive, and the finish lingers with cocoa, citrus, and dried‑fruit resonance—refined, expressive Yemen built on meticulous handwork and patient drying.
