Our Taiz Choco coffee comes from the mountain village of Taloog in Yemen’s Taiz region, an area renowned for producing bold, expressive coffees with deep sweetness and remarkable character. Grown at elevations of 1,500–1,700 meters and naturally sun-dried under the Yemeni sun, these beans reflect the rich agricultural heritage and centuries-old coffee traditions of southern Yemen.
For generations, coffees from the mountains of Taiz were traded through the historic Port of Mocha, carrying Yemen’s coffee culture to distant shores and helping shape the world’s appreciation for coffee. Today, that legacy continues through farmers such as Abdullah Ibrahim, who carefully cultivates his coffee using traditional methods passed down through his family. During harvest season, the entire family contributes to the work, preserving a way of life that has sustained Yemen’s coffee-growing communities for centuries.
Despite the challenges faced by the region in recent years, local farmers remain dedicated to protecting their coffee farms and preserving Yemen’s unique coffee heritage for future generations.
In the cup, Taiz Choco offers a rich and full-bodied profile with pronounced notes of chocolate, ripe grape, and plum, complemented by a lingering sweetness and smooth finish. Its medium roast highlights the coffee’s natural depth and balance, creating a comforting yet distinctly Yemeni coffee experience that showcases both the character of the land and the dedication of the people who cultivate it.
