Haraaz Region C.C.

[Shop all Light Roasts, Medium Roasts, and Dark Roasts]

Sourcing: Haraaz Region, Collection Center Dried:

• Coffee cherries are carefully sun-dried at a centralized collection center (in contrast to drying at the farm). The result is bigger beans, tending towards more fruity flavor.
  

LIGHT-MEDIUM roast / Haraaz Region: Sweet, traditional, and soaring—with a gentle, raspberry/winey ferment.

MEDIUM-PLUS roast / Haraaz Region: Clean, resonant, and intense flavors; sensation of dried figs and stewed, darker fruits. ("Medium-PLUS" means roasted more than a Medium but less than a Med-Dark.)

DARK roast / Haraaz Region: Bold and creamy, with notes of dry cocoa. A perfectly balanced dark roast.

Origin Notes:

HARAAZ is one of the most famous coffee regions of Yemen.

• Haraaz is nestled between the Hajjah, Raymah, Hayma, and Bura regions, respectively to the north, south, east and west.
• If you can imagine a quintessential or signature Yemen flavor, the result would be akin to Haraazi coffee: traditional and rustic, but not overly so; a bit dry, tannic, mocha, and/or winey, but not overly so; and balanced, even keeled, and familiar.

Future Roasts (will return in 2025):

MED-DARK roast / Haraaz Region: Tantalizing flavor, with dry cocoa turned up to maximum, and roasty deliciousness that dances across the pallet. (In between a Medium and a Dark roast.)

EXTRA-DARK roast / Haraaz Region: We've taken our usual dark roast, but gone even darker. Expect a more punchy, full-throated, extra-dark flavor. (In comparison to the usual Dark roast, the intensity is higher and the creaminess is lower.)
