01

We Source What the Market Wants

It starts before harvest. We select high-grade Yemeni coffee built around what specialty buyers are actually looking for — consulting Q graders and specialists to make sure every lot we present represents the best of what Yemen can offer.

02

Sourced Direct From Five Regions

We work directly with farmers across five of Yemen's most distinctive coffee regions — Haraz, Khawlan, Bani Matar, Haimah, and Sumarah. By working direct, we make sure everyone in the supply chain is paid fairly — from the farmer to the final shipment.

03

Verified at Our Yemen Checkpoint

Before any lot leaves the country, our checkpoint in Yemen — established in 2025 — verifies it against the approved sample, checking moisture, density, and defects, and sealing each lot properly for export.

04

We Help You Find the Roast

We've already roasted and experimented with our own coffee — so we understand how time-consuming and exhausting it is to dial in the right roast profile for a new harvest. We share what we've learned to help roasters and customers reach the best roast faster.

05

Shipped to Your Roastery

Once approved, lots are sealed, documented, and shipped from Saudi Arabia. What arrives matches what we promised — verified at origin, traceable end-to-end.
