From the producer

This lot combines coffee from approximately 200 Eastern Haraz smallholders connected through the Sharqi Haraz Cooperative. Pearl of Tehama, a family-run Yemeni exporter associated with the Muslot family, curated the coffee for export.

From the roaster

49th Parallel describes a deeply sweet, fruit-forward, spiced cup with dried cherry, ripe plum, cocoa, baking spice, and syrupy sweetness.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Haraz is one of coffee's oldest producing landscapes. This release pairs terraced Eastern Haraz smallholder production with centralized sealed-tank fermentation and raised-bed drying, creating a modern process expression of a historic origin.
