Description
Importer Notes (Coffee Shrub) | Haimi is a distinct regional coffee, but has often been sold as Sana’ani since it is geographically contiguous with the area around the capital, Sana’a. Many moons ago, I found a Yemeni exporter willing to separate the Haimi (he refers to it as Haima: Haimi simply means “of Haima”). I found it’s unique cup character appealing, and it seemed to have a dark sweetness that was distinct from our other Yemeni offerings. Now we are working with another Yemeni exporter, who is separating coffee regionally from Haima Dakhliya, and Kharijea Districts in Sana’a governorate.
This lot is made up of coffees from about 100 different farmers, most with less than 1000 trees planted. There’s a great range in altitude, and coffee grows is areas as low as 1000 meters above sea level, all the way up to 2000 meters.
