Twenty-nine green coffees, including two scoring 90+, have been named winners in the 2022 Best of Yemen coffee competition, with an online auction scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Involving a partnership with Yemen coffee trader Qima Coffee, the Best of Yemen auction was the first coffee auction held under the Private Collection Auction banner of the United States-based nonprofit the Alliance for Coffee Excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Presenting coffee as a potential pathway for peace and prosperity within the country, whose people have suffered from a civil war for nearly eight years, the coffee auction is designed to connect coffee farmers to premium markets. Ten per cent of all proceeds will help Yemeni producers access climate-smart best agricultural practises training, genetically verified varieties and innovative climate adaption strategies, like rainwater catchment and artificial shade through the Qima Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For 2022, the list of auction coffees reflects three different processing methods: 19 natural process; three \u201cslow dried\u201d process; and seven \u201calchemy process,\u201d which ACE describes as a combination of pressure, temperature control, gas regulation and managed drying. Aside from two SL28 and one Bourbon varierty of arabica, all the coffees are the \u201cYemenia\u201d variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than 400 samples from approximately 2,900 farmers countrywide were evaluated by national judges before a tasting panel of 30 coffee specialists from around the world identified the 29 winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fifteen of the 29 winners came from Hayma Kharijiya, a coffee-growing region located in the west of Sana\u2019a where at least 1,000 families grow coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a huge surprise for me… I want to now immerse myself in my coffee farms and put all my energy and motivation into improving my quality.<\/p>Hifthallah Alhaymi, first-place winner, 2022 Best of Yemen Coffee Competition<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
