YEMEN ALCHEMY

A Taste Of Alchemy At 2200m, the breathtaking landscape of Hayma Dakhiliya is home to a unique varietal of coffee: Yemenia. Following multi-stage 'Alchemy' processing, Yemenia offers complexity that is truly unique: expect tropical sweetness, with the depth of fine cognac and Amarena cherries.

Yemen Alchemy, sourced by The Barn, represents a unique expression of the Yemenia varietal cultivated in the Hayma Dakhiliya region. Grown at 2200 masl, this lot undergoes a specialized "Alchemy" process, a technique that distinguishes it from traditional drying methods. While processing methods vary widely across the industry, they fundamentally dictate the final cup profile by altering how sugars and acids develop within the bean. In this instance, the result is a complex profile characterized by tropical sweetness, fine cognac, and Amarena cherries.

The Hayma Dakhiliya region is historically significant for its contribution to the global coffee landscape. When evaluating such distinct profiles, enthusiasts often consult a flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between the inherent varietal characteristics and the impact of the post-harvest treatment. This coffee offers a compelling look at how modern innovation continues to evolve the storied traditions of Yemeni coffee production.
