Attarah | Yemen
A structured, fruit-forward profile shaped by extreme mountain elevation and controlled processing. Sourced from the high-altitude stone terraces of Western Haraaz at 2,100 MASL, this rare Udaini lot opens with distinct notes of sweet lychee and ripe berry, balanced by the crisp citrus sweetness of mandarin orange.
The Story
Produced at Attarah farm by Abdulkareem Al-Harazi in the rugged mountains of Western Haraaz. Abdulkareem grew up watching his parents work the terraced land through severe economic hardship, which initially led him to leave farming to serve in the army. Drawn back to his agricultural roots, he committed to mastering modern agronomy and processing techniques taught through dedicated farmer training initiatives. Today, Abdulkareem is recognized as one of the leading producers in the region. Grown at 2,100 meters and refined through slow anaerobic fermentation, this lot yields exceptional sweetness and fruit clarity that iLLUMinates the modern resurgence of Yemeni specialty coffee.
