Yemen Coffee industry confronts obstacles

admin — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 02:51:16 +0000

For centuries, Yemeni coffee has set a global standard because of its distinct flavour and authentic taste. However, economic and political obstacles have hurt the Yemeni coffee industry, which is now struggling to survive.
Yemen has been described as the country of coffee since time immemorial. Yemeni coffee has brought the country recognition throughout the years, but in recent years its dominance has waned.
The flavour of Yemeni coffee is distinct and renowned around the world.
It is usually described as having a flavour reminiscent of wine due to the fact that many farmers store coffee beans in stone stores until they are ready to be sent to the market.
Yemeni coffee, called Mocha, is named after the port of al-Makha, from which coffee used to be exported in large quantities. The mocha name has been adopted by the coffee community and is now known throughout the world.
However, many farmers have stopped growing coffee beans. Young farmers in the remote mountains are finding that the coffee market has become less lucrative.
The yield of the coffee trade is no longer sufficient, and young farmers are facing difficulties meeting the requirements of cultivation due to government neglect in supporting coffee plantations. Additionally, Yemeni farmers face obstacles in marketing and exporting their products.
Coffee crops occupy a special place in Yemeni collective memory, and it is widely believed that this particular tree is the first national crop. This crop had a strong global presence from the early sixth century AD until the mid-nineteenth century.

We have been hard at work with our coffees looking for new flavors and it seems that Cinnamon is the big winner this month with the addition of three new Cinnamon Flavored Coffees.

Each has their own uniqueness to them but they all run on the theme of Cinnamon. Be it the Apple Cinnamon Strudel Flavor or the Blueberry Cinnamon Swirl, or the Cinnamon Hazelnut they each have unique qualities all their own.

Apple Cinnamon Strudel Flavored Coffee - this coffee is like a Apple Strudel flavor that is so unique, it’s amazing how you can make a desert fill a cup of coffee.

Blueberry Cinnamon Swirl Flavored Coffee – this is a great mixture of Blueberry’s and Cinnamon accents on our cental american arabica gourmet coffees is a wonderful taste sensation.

Then we have the Cinnamon Hazelnut Flavored Coffee – well what can you say it has our unique Hazelnut along with a dash of cinnamon over our perfectly roasted coffees.

So if your looking for a flavored coffee I am sure you will find it in our listing, if not ask we might be able to come up with a flavor that you can call your invention.

Enjoy as we approach memorial day and please be safe.
