Alchemy Peaberry Wadi Mahyad - Brew Chart & impressions

Get ready for a (tasty) wild ride.

OK. This coffee is not all that funky, but the hops notes we got in the finish is something we had never truly tasted in a coffee before and it gives the whole brew a special vibe.
The coffee is very sweet and made us think of crème chantilly due to the coffee’s nice texture.
On the fruity side, we had tons of yellow plums (and maybe yellow apple) and hints of watermelon.

The alchemy process from Qima is so interesting. It delivers the most stunning and unique profiles we ever experienced from one of our favorite coffee origin.

With more than 1300 processing experiments, the Alchemy process brings an enhanced sensory experience without compromising the genetic background that make Yemeni coffees so unique.
The process relies on a combination of pressure and temperature control during the fermentation stage, and a close monitoring of the drying protocols to ensure consistency.
