As one of Yemen’s first female coffee exporters, Fatoum has continued her family’s work while building stronger market access for farmers and supporting quality-focused production. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnis, in Yemen's Dhamar Governorate south of Sana'a, is a mountainous coffee-growing region where coffee is cultivated on ancient stone terraces and in fertile valleys at elevations of roughly 1,500 to 2,500 meters. Production is dominated by small family farms that rely on generations of inherited farming knowledge and careful hand-harvesting, often making multiple picking passes to select only ripe cherries. Natural (sun-dried) processing is the regional standard, with coffee dried on rooftops, raised beds, or improved drying systems before hulling and sorting. For green coffee buyers, Anis stands out for its traceable microlot potential, traditional local coffee varieties, expanding coffee acreage, and growing investment in quality improvements across harvesting, drying, and post-harvest handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry of Origin: \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYemen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer Type: \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmall Holder Farms\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProcessing: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNatural\/Dry Processed\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProcessing Description: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSun Dried on Rooftops and Raised Beds\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing Altitude: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e1500-2200 MASL\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant Species: \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArabica\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarietals: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eYemeni Heirloom\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory of Coffee in Yemen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe know that Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee as a plant, but if you want to talk about the first intensification of commercial cultivation and exportation of coffee, we are talking about Yemen. The birthplace of coffee is Ethiopia, and the birthplace of the coffee industry is almost certainly Yemen. No place on earth has been cultivating coffee for international trade at scale as long as Yemen. For hundreds of years Yemen maintained a monopoly on growing and exporting green coffee. While coffee drinking expanded across the globe, coffee growing did not until the 17th century, and that only happened with assistance from a generation of determined smugglers and adventurers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column f-left\" data-content-type=\"column\" data-appearance=\"full-height\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"FN4JD25\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"V9XESAO\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Coffee in Yemen\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYemen coffee is grown on mountainsides so steep that farms must be terraced, creating steps on which coffee can be planted, a practice now hundreds of years old. In recent years, however, the challenge for coffee farmers has been accessing international markets due to conflicts within the country. It is extremely difficult to export coffee from Yemen under current conditions, which contributes to the prices being admittedly very high. But the 90,000 Yemen coffee farmers are known to be as resilient as their coffee (which has been studied by World Coffee Research for its hardiness). For most farmers, the practices around producing coffee have not changed for generations. Virtually all Yemen coffee is naturally processed, drying on mats or raised beds or rooftops, and is sometimes called the “mother of all natural processed coffee.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pre-Umber","offers":[{"title":"1 Pound","offer_id":67876109418817,"sku":null,"price":28.34,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Pounds","offer_id":67876109451585,"sku":null,"price":56.08,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/6821\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_b13e48d2-679e-49b0-9410-c8b24899a976.jpg?v=1792166056","url":"https:\/\/www.pre-umber.ca\/products\/yemen-mocha-anis-natural","provider":"Pre-Umber","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
