Yemeni coffee is not easy to grow. Most farmland is planted with Qat grass, which is said to have mild refreshing effects. This plant absorbs water from the ground and breaks the underground aquifer. Growing coffee is different. I hope that changes can be made to make farmers stop growing Qat grass.

But qat is dozens of times more profitable than coffee, and coffee beans can only be grown in small areas under qat if the government persuades farmers to do so. Perhaps this leaves a lot more room for imagination.

Sanani, Yemen is located in the capital area. Coffee is grown on terraces. There is no wild variety with information to verify. Sanani's biggest characteristic green beans have a fermented wine fragrance. The mature fermented wine fragrance is not available in other countries.
