Sea Island has carefully sourced the very best Yemeni coffees available, produced under the famous ‘White Camel’ label by Ahmed Alhamdani. The availability of this brand is very limited, with each coffee named according to the different areas in which they grow. All White Camel coffee is grown at altitudes of at least 1700 metres above sea level, depending on the region where the coffee is produced, naturally sun-dried on earth drying grounds, and sorted by hand.
This Matari Mocha comes from the high-altitude growing district of Bani Mattar, just West of the capital of Sana’a, on the narrow mountain terraces Western Yemen. Matari is considered to be one of the finest Mocha coffees and is renowned amongst coffee lovers. Grown at the highest altitude of all Yemen’s coffees, these small, round beans have been grown and processed in the same way for 1000 years, resulting in an intense flavour, fantastic aroma, and ‘desert-like’ qualities. Matari is the most concentrated, acidic, complex, and powerful of the Yemeni coffees.
