Ali Zaid - Brew Chart & Impressions

We love coffees that feel complex, yet also instantly feel like a classic! We can drink this Yemeni lot all day, every day. Approachable complexity is what makes our favourite coffee origin so unique.

It offers so much depth that each cup feels different if you feel like exploring. It can also be brewed in so many different ways.

The coffee is bright but balanced, and the acidity reminds us of apricot and meyer lemon, with a hint (according to David) of mulberry.

The finish is dessert like, thanks to the pure brown sugar and roasted pecan impressions.
There is also something reminiscent of brown and red spices in the finish, think cinnamon and nutmeg.
