Blind Assessment
Richly fruit-toned, chocolaty. Dark chocolate, red currant, tangerine zest, oak, honey in aroma and cup. Winy acidity; plush, creamy mouthfeel. Chocolaty, citrus-driven finish, invitingly bittersweet.
Notes
This exceptional coffee was selected as the No. 30 coffee on Coffee Review’s list of the Top 30 Coffees of 2023. Produced by smallholding farmers, entirely of the Yemenia variety of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). This coffee benefited from a post-harvest processing initiative that Qima coffee launched in 2021 to support farmers in improving their drying infrastructure and practices. RamsHead Coffee Roasters is a family-owned company founded by Bozeman, Montana natives Caleb and Laura Walker that specializes in direct trade microlot coffees.

Bottom Line
A flavor-saturated Yemen with focused fruit on both the nose and palate; juicy, wine-like acidity and nectar-like mouthfeel.
