Yemen – Yemenia peaberry A precision-processed coffee from one of Yemen’s most revered growing regions, made even more special by its genetic rarity. This Yemenia nano-lot from Hayma Kharijiya is part of Qima Coffee’s Farmer Series, where traceability runs all the way down to the individual farmer. Sourced through Qima’s fresh cherry supply chain, only ripe cherries are handpicked at the farm gate and immediately transported to their advanced drying facilities. Processing follows the traditional natural method—sun-dried on raised beds for 15 to 25 days, with continuous monitoring for BRIX, moisture, and density. It’s a labor-intensive approach rooted in Yemeni heritage but refined with modern precision. The result is a clean, high-altitude natural that balances deep sweetness with floral complexity and citric brightness. The variety itself is Yemenia—a relatively newly discovered, genetically distinct mother population of Arabica, found only in Yemen. Its flavor potential is immense. Its existence is rare. And its cup profile is incredible. **Details** **Origin** Sana’a Governorate, Yemen **Farmer** Hayma Kharijiya **Variety** Yemenia **Processing** Natural **Altitude** 2300 MASL **Profile** Violets, blueberries & crisp **PACKAGING** FORM vs FUNCTION vs LESS WASTE We love good packaging design, but not waste. That’s why we aim for a balance between aesthetics and sustainability. Finding food-safe solutions that work across local and international recycling systems isn’t easy, but we take it seriously. For us, *reuse, reduce, recycle* is more than just a label. When ordering coffee, you can choose from three packaging types: A.M.O.C. JAR Made from fully recyclable PET. Lightweight, durable, and made to be reused endlessly. REFILL A low-waste option, vacuum-packed in thin, food-grade PP without a valve or zipper. About 40% lighter than standard bags and easier to recycle. These are not retail-friendly and may lose vacuum in transit—this doesn’t affect quality. Transfer to a container after opening. Not freezer-safe unless portioned first. KILO BAG For larger orders, we use high-barrier packaging that protects freshness and is recyclable under certain conditions. We chose it for both performance and environmental impact. You’ll find more on our packaging choices and sustainability approach on the [about](https://amatterofconcrete.com/about-us/) page. **ROAST** ESPRESSO VS FILTER ROAST Our filter roasts are designed for clarity and expression, but they’re great for both filter and espresso brewing. In fact, we often prefer the brighter, more expressive profile they bring to espresso. Espresso roasts, on the other hand, are specifically developed for espresso brewing only. We don’t recommend using them for filter methods, as they’re tailored for higher extraction and a more classic cup profile. Choose based on your taste and brew method, but know we stand behind both. ROAST DATE All our coffees are shipped as fresh as possible, typically within a few days of roasting. We don’t sit on a lot of stock and roast multiple times a week, so what you receive has been roasted recently, usually no longer than a 7-10 days before shipping, but it could also be roasted and shipped the same day. You’ll find the exact roast date printed on the label. We recommend resting the coffee for a few days after roasting to allow it to degas and open up in flavour.
