Gesha is hyped right now. It monopolizes all the attention at auction where the lots produced by mostly White European landowners fetch hundreds of dollars per pound, and occasionally, thousands . This is a pure marketing ploy by people with means to extract as much value as possible from their land - a land that is often worked by Indigenous people . The Gesha trees that produced this beautiful coffee were planted in 2021 and took 4 years to come to fruition, showcasing the commitment Marleny is showing to a beloved varietal in the specialty coffee world.

Randolfo produces incredibly tasty coffee and we are thrilled to have him on the menu for a second year running. Last year, we bought some from Semilla, our longstanding import partner, after a roaster did not honour his contract.

This natural lot from the Wadi Mahyad community is showcasing the stellar and immaculate treatment of this beautiful yemenia varietal. ( also check out the Women Alchemy lot from the same village! ) Many farmers in Yemen don’t produce enough coffee to export a complete lot, which would, at a minimum, be one full 60kg bag. Community lots ensures that those farmers are paid fairly for the coffee despite producing small a small amount, because otherwise, they would have to sell their production on the local market for far less.

This is the biggest lot we ever bought from Yemen, and we are so happy to have committed to the community of the Wadi Mahyad village in 2023. Hidden in the mountains of the Mahwit region, this lot is the result of hard work and dedication by a group of 80+ women producers . (also check out the natural lot from the same village) In Mahwit, eighty percent of the women are directly involved in coffee production. These women handle about sixty percent of the coffee cultivation , a true testament to their vital role in an industry that sustains the community.
