Yemen produces some of the world’s oldest and most distinctive specialty coffees, with unique processing and centuries-old traditions.

When you taste a cup of coffee that’s gritty, wildly aromatic, and smells like dried fruit, wine, and leather all at once, you might be drinking something very old—literally. Yemeni coffee isn’t just old-fashioned in style; it comes from trees cultivated in the 6th century, making it the first major coffee-growing region in the world. But what really sets it apart isn’t just its age. It’s the way it’s grown, picked, processed, and stored that gives Yemeni coffee its unmistakable character.
