Yemen Alchemy offers depth and sweetness that is truly unique. First, intense sweetness fills the cup, reminiscent of mango, plum, and baked pineapple, with a hint of bubblegum.

Layers of dried fruit and baklava follow, with rich depth like a fine cognac. The unique texture evolves from juicy to syrupy, like sweet, Amarena cherry.

Yemen is the birthplace of coffee culture. Whilst the coffee tree has its roots in Ethiopia, the coffee drink originated in Yemen. Up until the early 1700s, Yemen was the worlds only exporter of coffee. There is much talk about Yemen being rediscovered as a coffee growing region. Cup profiles are quite unique, however, finding high scoring coffee, consistently done well, is still very difficult.

Yemen is home to one of the worlds most diverse topographic profiles. With extreme desert plains in the east, large coastlines, and vast volcanic mountain ranges. Due to the microclimatic and genetic diversity, and the centuries old cultivation techniques, Yemen’s cup profiles are as diverse as the flavour wheel.

The Alchemy processing method is a culmination of over 1,300 experiments, integrating precision, pressure, and data-driven control in pursuit of unique flavour.

Alchemy XI begins with a 12-hour aerobic fermentation in a well-ventilated environment, after which the cherries are transferred into stainless steel tanks, flushed with carbon dioxide, and fermented under carbonic maceration for 48–72 hours.

They are then moved to shaded raised beds in deeper layers to create a semi-anaerobic environment for 48 hours, before undergoing a slow drying phase on traditional raised African beds for around 600 hours (about 25 days). Once dried to the target moisture, the lot is milled and hand-sorted at the Qima facility. This extended carbonic maceration protocol produces fruit-forward complexity while maintaining terroir expression and genetic clarity.
