This is our second limited edition release and has been sourced in partnership with our friends at Qima coffee. As with many specialty Yemeni coffees the cup quality is difficult to find a comparison for and is, in our opinion, genuinely unique within the world of specialty coffee. Although complex and sweet the body of this natural Udaini varietal is at simultaneously fruit forward but incredibly light and delicate. 

Producer — Abdul Rahman
Farm — Wadi Mayhad
Region — Mahwit, Yemen
Varietal — Udaini

The coffee is from the small holder farmers of Wadi Mahyad, Located in the governorate of Mahwit. Our partners at Qima have worked closely with the Coffee Quality Institute and the Alliance for Coffee Excellence to introduce the worlds first Yemen speciality auction earlier this year. Assembly hosted the London auction where we discovered this microdot from the Wadi producer Abdul Rahman.

The region produces a variety of different cultivars, like Udaini, Tufahi and Dawairi, offering a diverse range of cup profiles. Mahwit is mountainous, full of deep aquifers which means better-than-average coffee yields. Mahwit is also home to some of the oldest Archaeology finds in Yemen.

Assembly Coffee will continue to work alongside Qima in order to keep bringing the diversity of Yemeni coffee to the world. We are donating a percentage of every bag of Yemeni coffee we purchase and sell, back to a development project aimed to create plant nurseries and improve access to water across the regions we work in.
