said-al-jaifi is a typica variety coffee from the haraz region of yemen, roasted by slowmov. yemen is one of the oldest coffee-producing countries in the world, and haraz sits at high altitude in the mountains west of sanaa, where low-yield, dry-farmed trees produce small, concentrated crops. the typica here carries the character typical of yemeni naturals, expect dried fruit, earthy depth, and a heavy, syrupy body. because the roast and processing favour complexity over brightness, this responds well to slower, lower-agitation brew methods that give the cup time to open up.

common questions

What does Said-Al-Jaifi taste like?

said-al-jaifi is a yemeni typica, which typically delivers dried fruit, earthy, wine-like depth, and a full, syrupy body rather than bright acidity. the specific tasting notes will reflect the natural processing style common to haraz-grown coffees.

How is Said-Al-Jaifi grown and processed?

it is grown in the haraz region of yemen using the typica varietal, a low-yielding, ancient cultivar suited to yemen's dry-farmed, terraced mountain conditions. yemeni coffees are traditionally naturally processed, dried as whole fruit on the tree or on raised beds.

How should I brew Said-Al-Jaifi?

slowmov roast this for methods that suit a heavier, complex cup, a cafetiere, moka pot, or a slow pour-over with a coarser grind will complement the full body and earthy fruit character without over-extracting it.

about slowmov
