The Sharqi Haraz Cooperative blends generations of knowledge with modern processing techniques to produce exceptional coffee. The Sana'a region's high elevations, mineral-rich soil, and rugged terrain result in slow cherry maturation, extending the ripening period and yielding coffee with intense sweetness and complexity.
Harvest begins with hand-selecting the ripest cherries, followed by careful visual and density sorting. The cherries are then placed in sealed tanks to ferment anaerobically for 72 hours. After fermentation, the cherries are rinsed and slowly dried in the sun to a final moisture content of 11%, preserving their structure, sweetness, and stability.Â
The result is a sweet and complex cup, with notes of red-flame grape, fig, dried fruit, and allspice, and a rich fudge-brownie finish.
We recommend letting fresh coffee rest to allow the beans to stabilize. This will result in a sweeter, more expressive cup. We rest washed coffees 5–10 days, naturals 10–15 days, and experimentals 15–30 days.
