SAID AL-JAIFI
Said Al-Jaifi farms ancient terraces in Yemen’s Haraz mountains while working as a school teacher in his local community.

SAID AL-JAIFI
Said Al-Jaifi grows coffee on family terraces in Jabal Massar in Yemen’s Haraz region. The land has been passed down for generations and he farms it together with his brothers and sisters. Outside the harvest season, Said works as a school teacher in his village. We bought this lot through Le Bunn, a local producer who works closely with farmers in Haraz and processes their coffee in a controlled way. At 2300 masl, the cherries ripen slowly in the cool mountain climate. This natural Typica lot shows a tropical and spice-driven cup with notes of cherry, pineapple and cacao nibs.
