The Journey Begins: Haraz Mountains
The journey of Yemeni coffee starts in the Haraz Mountains, a region identified with its highly rugged terrain and optimal climate for coffee cultivation. At high altitudes with fertile soils, these mountains offer perfect growing conditions for Yemen’s unique coffee beans, which are known for their complex flavours and rich aromas. Coffee in this region is grown by traditional cultivation practiced over generations to maintain the integrity and quality of the beans.
Haraz’s farmers practice sustainable work: the coffee cherries are picked by hand at their best ripeness to guarantee maximum quality. All this precision and care for the environment results in great taste, supporting local communities and sustaining a traditional way of living.
Yemen’s Influence on the Global Coffee Culture
Yemen is the place where coffee history roots itself. Evidence suggests that in Yemen, coffee was initially planted and taken over a thousand years ago. From there, it spread to other parts of the world, with the help of some important Yemeni traders who travelled and initiated its presence in other parts of the world. The popularly known coffee port city of Mocha in Yemen bequeaths its legacy in the term “mocha coffee.”
But, the resilience and innovation of the Yemeni coffee growers ensured Yemen would not be ripped from its place in the global coffee narrative. The size of the problems posed by political instability meant that, while these remain persistent challenges, the dedication to quality and tradition ensures that Yemeni coffee continues to woo coffee lovers across the globe.
At Yemeni Corner, we share our immense pride and great taste of Yemeni coffee with our community in Canada. We directly source beans from the farmers in Haraz: therefore, everything we serve is a tribute to the heritage and craftsmanship of Yemeni coffee culture.
