Nestled in the rugged mountains west of Sana’a, the Haraz region is one of Yemen’s most iconic coffee-growing areas. For centuries, terraced farms carved into the steep cliffs have cultivated heirloom coffee varieties using natural, organic methods. The high altitudes, cool microclimates, and volcanic soils create optimal conditions for producing slow-ripened cherries with high density and intense flavor. Haraz coffee is renowned for its rich complexity, layered sweetness, and clean, floral finish — often considered a benchmark for Yemeni specialty coffee.
