Yemen Mocha Matari – Coffee with a Centuries-Old Tradition

Yemen Mocha Matari comes from the Matari region in Yemen, a coffee-growing region steeped in tradition. The Arabica beans grow at altitudes of up to 2,200 meters and are cultivated by hand. After harvest, they are gently processed and dried using traditional methods. They are then roasted by hand in pots over charcoal.

Its expressive flavor profile combines notes of black cherry, cinnamon, and chocolate with a pleasant, lemony acidity. Full-bodied and creamy on the palate, this characterful Yemeni coffee finishes with a clean, long-lasting aftertaste.

Whether as filter coffee, hand-brewed, espresso, or from a moka pot: You can select the grind size to suit your brewing method. For aromatic pour-over coffee, we recommend the HARIO V60 ceramic dripper, size 02, with the matching HARIO V60 paper filters, size 02.

Yemen Mocha Matari

Matari-Sayhee coffee comes from the traditional coffee-growing region of Bani Matars in Yemen, located in a gently sloping intermontane valley. The Al-Sayh Valley lies at an elevation of between 1,500 and 1,700 meters above sea level. The climate is subtropical, with average rainfall of 300 mm in the spring and summer, and dry autumn and winter months. The quality of the coffee is positively influenced by a permanent spring in the upper valley, which allows farmers to control the flowering period and avoid water shortages during bean development.

The green coffee exporter “Pearl of Tehama” has established a network for the collection and traceability of Matari Sayhee coffee. This coffee is exported to many customers from five sub-villages, operated by 45 farmers. Each sub-village plantation (called a “mahlah”) is operated by 3 to 18 households, with the size of the plantations varying between 200 and 1,000 trees. The trees are mostly planted on terraces of varying sizes, with between ten and one hundred trees per plot.
