Yemeni Coffee Profile
YEMEN COFFEE OR Yemeni Coffee is among the oldest and most highly praised in the world, deep, earthy, complex and pungent.
Arabian Yemen Mocha (Mokha) is on my list of all time personal favorites.
Yemeni coffee is in high demand with very limited supply so it's gotten a bit pricey.
However, if you like a distinctive and truly memorable cup, it's worth every penny!
