Mohammed Alburai - Brew Chart & Impressions
We've said this often: there is nothing like a good Yemeni coffee!
This one feels like a classic, easy going coffee, but it can feel complex once you sit down and really think about all that you taste.
At first, it's a very balanced, sweet and round coffee we could chug all day. Hints of citrus with raisin sweetness is how we experienced it.
But there is a subtle, tropical aspect to it. For us, it was reminiscent of a ripe banana.
And as the coffee cools down to almost room temperature, we had a note we truly never really felt in a coffee before: mint. Very fresh and unique, and it makes for an amazing cold coffee if you are into flash brews and cold brew.
