Yemen Gurmah Village

Gurmah Village is at an altitude of approximately 2184 m.a.s.l. on the eastern part of Haraz, Yemen, where 46 families live and work in coffee growing. Galal has been in the coffee business for many years and has worked on his land with his brothers for many years. Most of the lands were inherited from parents and grandparents for the past 500 years or more. As Galal and his brothers started the coffee business, they developed their farms and crops to the best quality. Besides the farms, Galal owns the Hood Al Dai processing center that is also located in the village where he dries and processes coffee of his own crop and also for other farmers who have limited access to infrastructure.

This specific lot, No. 553, is an outstanding result of extraordinary cherries. The first ripe red cherries of the season have been carefully hand-picked and dried for 15 days at the Hood Al Dai processing center. The outcome was mind-blowing. In collaboration with Galal, this coffee has been fairly traded and named after the village to show appreciation for and dedication to its beauty and history. Mokha King Coffee decided to partner with Ethica Coffee Roasters to present this coffee to Canadians and the world.
