Our Process

From Farm to Cup

A transparent look at how Yemeni green coffee moves from farm to export. Our process combines traditional methods with modern quality control to deliver specialty Yemeni coffee that is carefully sourced, fully traceable, and professionally processed at every stage.

1

Yemeni coffee processing – sourcing ripe coffee cherries directly from high-altitude farms in Yemen.

Sourcing

Carefully Selected at Origin

We begin our Yemeni coffee processing at the source. Our team works directly with smallholder farmers in high-altitude regions, selecting only well-cared-for cherries from healthy trees. Each lot of Yemeni green coffee is evaluated for elevation, variety, and picking quality to ensure a clean, consistent starting point for the rest of the supply chain.

2

Traditional Yemeni coffee processing – sun-drying coffee cherries on raised beds to preserve flavor.

Drying

Preserving Flavor & Stability

Cherries are dried using controlled, step-by-step methods that respect Yemen’s traditional sun-drying practices while protecting cup quality. Coffee is spread in thin layers, regularly turned, and monitored to reach ideal moisture levels. This stage is critical to our Yemeni green coffee processing, as it locks in sweetness, clarity, and shelf stability for export.

3

Sorting Yemeni green coffee beans by hand to remove defects as part of the Yemeni coffee processing steps.

Sorting

Precision Sorting & Defect Removal

Once dried, coffee passes through multiple sorting stages, including hand sorting and size grading, to remove physical defects and foreign materials. Our goal is to deliver specialty Yemeni green coffee that meets strict specifications for professional buyers, with consistent screen size, low defect counts, and reliable lot performance.

4

Cupping Yemeni coffee samples to evaluate quality and approve lots for export.

Cupping

Sensory Evaluation & Lot Approval

Every lot is cupped by our quality team to evaluate aroma, sweetness, acidity, body, and overall balance. Only coffees that meet our internal standards and align with specialty Yemeni coffee profiles are approved for export. Detailed cupping notes and scores are shared with roasters and importers to support informed purchasing decisions.

5

Packaging specialty Yemeni green coffee in export-ready bags to protect freshness during shipping.

Packaging

Export-Ready Protection

Approved coffees are packed in export-grade bags designed to protect freshness during storage and transit. Depending on buyer requirements, Yemeni green coffee can be packed in lined jute bags or high-barrier packaging that reduces moisture and odor transfer. Each shipment is clearly labeled for traceability, including lot codes, origin, and processing details.

6

Preparing Yemeni coffee shipments for export with full documentation and traceable logistics.

Export

We handle documentation, quality verification, and logistics to ensure that each shipment moves smoothly from Yemen to your destination port.
