Cupping Session | The birthplace of Yemen — Milan

Cupping Session | The birthplace of Yemen — Milan

From Magical Yemen 

Did you know that Yemen is the birthplace of coffee? Over time, the world has gradually forgotten the irreplaceable flavors unique to Yemeni coffee.

Yemeni coffees are known for their sweet spice notes - think cardamom and nutmeg. Additionally, black tea and dried dates are signature flavors that often come through in the cup.

In Sana’a, the capital of Yemen, Team Sheba Coffee operates a processing center dedicated to bringing farmers’ hard work to the global market.

Especially in the high-altitude Al-Hayma region of Sana’a, the harsh climate contributes to the coffee’s distinctive floral notes. These coffees are produced in very limited quantities, but quality always outweighs quantity.

It was a true honor to share these unique Yemeni flavors with you on that precious Friday evening at Orsonero in Milan, Italy
