[Shop all Light Roasts, Medium Roasts, and Dark Roasts] LIGHT roast / Pearls of the North: Slightly winey, rustic, and biting. A new take on a classic. MEDIUM roast / Pearls of the North: Classic winey ferment. Traditional, rustic flavor. Note: For both light and medium roast, the winey note can be fleeting and ephemeral. Experiment with brew temperatures from 175ºF up to boiling. Pearls of the North: This coffee is from the Khulani Region (Sa'da Governorate), Yemen's northern-most coffee region. We source it via the Pearl of Tehama export company, a trusted partner in Yemen for a decade running. We previously carried this origin in 2021. It has been a while! Origin Notes: Here's the Pearl of Tehama (our old school exporting partner) talking about these farmers: We feel that fields of coffee farmers are our own, and we are benefiting from every individual farmer’s effort in his field. They are not only a source of coffee beans, but also our mutual success. Therefore, we are trying to provide them with any possible assistance, either directly or indirectly. Our Coffee trade company assists the coffee growing communities through many activities and projects. We help the needy people and distribute gifts during our community common festivals, provide material and technical assistance to farmers and give small interest-free loans to be recovered after harvesting. We are currently building a large nursery for the production of quality certified coffee. Upon completion, it will consist of ten 360m2 greenhouses.
