I feel the best answer is “ not yet”. Yemini coffee may be the most challenging to produce given the social and economic state of the country. Yemin has sold coffee literally for centuries and the coffee was not remarkable. What is coming are new unknown varieties that Qima Coffee has worked to market. Qima has followed up on research that turned up “an entirely new set of genetics” unique to Yemen. In other words, they found coffee trees growing in Yemen with genetics that do not match the genetic footprints of coffee plants growing anywhere else in the world, including Ethiopia, the presumed home of Arabica.

Original question: Is Yemeni coffee the most desirable coffee?
Yemeni coffee is basically used for green coffee, ie. very slightly roasted coffee. It is used the same as Ethiopian coffee, mostly in Saudi Arabia for typical green coffee, which is flavored with cardamom or clove or saffron, depending of the makers custom. Sugar is never added. In Yemen, they completely roast the coffee and make what is called Qawa Sada, plain coffee which is mild roasted, ie. slightly brown, which has a mild taste, also sugar is not added, but cardamom is added if available. Also a similar coffee is made in Jordan and Syria, these coffees are very mild are are not like the Turkish coffee, which is usually made from very dark roasted Brazilian or Columbian coffee. A very excellent coffee is also grown in Tanzania as well, which is very similar. I have seen it being grown in the area of Arusha, Tanzania.
