From the highland terraces of Bait Waseel in Hayma Dakhiliya, this lot reflects Yemen’s enduring agricultural heritage and its capacity for innovation. Cultivated between 2,000 and 2,300 metres, the coffee combines the newly identified Yemenia genetic with Qima’s Alchemy processing, part of the Competition & 90+ Series. The result is a cup defined by stewed berries, cherry, blood orange, tropical juiciness, and dark chocolate, a profile that illustrates both the strength of Yemen’s genetics and the
precision of advanced post-harvest methods.

ABOUT HAYMA DAKHILIYA XI
Hayma Dakhiliya is a coffee growing region located in the west of the Sana’a governorate, and is one of the governorate’s most well-known regions. The region has 11 mountainous villages located 50 km west to the capital city of Sana’a. Some of these include Al Yaer, Bait Yaseen, Al Mezab and Bait Al Kabsh. However, due to rough terrain and rugged roads, these villages are hard to reach and remain isolated from the city. Access to education, healthcare and other amenities also remains limited due to the same reason.
The Sana’a governorate occupies the biggest share of Yemeni specialty coffee production in quality and quantity. The main coffee- growing areas are Hayma Dakhiliya, Hayma Kharijiya, Bani Matar, Bani Ismail, and Haraaz. Some factors that make high-quality coffee growing possible here include a range of altitudes, soil fertility, microclimate and rainfall.
Sana’a is also home to Yemen’s capital city, which has one of the longest-continuous coffee cultures in the world. Much of the coffee consumed there is prepared using the traditional Ibrik method, brewing coffee in a copper or silver pot over hot charcoal.

**Haven’t heard about Yemenia?
Qima Coffee, together with scientists from Alliance for Coffee Excellence, discovered a pure Arabica “Mother Population” a few years ago, called Yemenia. It represents a new ocean of genetics with untapped potential to transform the genetic landscape of Coffea Arabica. We were part of the first global auction where Yemenia was introduced to the world in 2020 and purchased one of the top lots. Everyone literally freaked out over it…in a good way, you know. Now, a few years later, we can’t quite afford the top lots of Yemenia, but we did everything in our power to bring you some of this heavenly goodness once again!
