Yemen Mocca Burrai Ecofact

ORIGIN INFORMATION

Yemen Mocca Burrai Ecotact is sourced from family owned plots located in Bura'a in the Al Hudaydah governorate within the western highlands of Yemen, parallel to the Red Sea. Yemen is perhaps the most historic coffee growing region in the world, second only to Ethiopia, with a lineage spanning more than 2,000 years. Coffee production continues today with many of the same traditions dating back to the 15th century, like drying coffee naturally in the cherry on the rooftops of houses perched on the edges of steep mountain ridges. Bura'a is the most identified growing region in Yemen and has often been called the the Ethiopia of Yemen. Mocca Burrai is the product of producers who work closely with an export company called Pearl of Tehama. Through the collaboration small producers have learned processing techniques to ensure consistency in their coffee. Pearl of Tehama is also providing localized receiving warehouses to ease the burden of transporting coffee and ensure safe storage.
