Al-Aqeeq Whole Bean Yemen Coffee, Haraaz Region | Specialty Organic Arabica Coffee | Low Acid, Medium Roast | Freshly Roasted, Fair Value

The coffee tasted amazing. It’s fairly cheap compared to other coffees available online. I’ve ordered unroasted beans before and roasted them at home, this roast tastes better. The roast tasted excellent, like it was roasted to perfection specifically for this batch. It tasted remarkably fresh, and the package it came in was excellent and designed for repeated use.

This is too good-my favorite

Very smooth coffee, smells of chocolate, blueberry, malt. Beans lack aroma - compared to other high-end coffee I have been buying. Not sure if this is related to when it was roasted. I would like to see a roast date on the packaging - something that is lacking here as it only has an expiration date. In summary its pretty good, reminds me of Kona.

Update 3/26/23. Received the coffee and gave it another try, this time it had a nice sweet smell like toffee/caramel with other pleasant aromas I'm not trained enough to identify. It is definitely different than most other varietals you can purchase from the big name retailers. It does cost more per unit weight, what I try to remember is this is a small business and without the same economies of scale compared to the large retailers.Update 3/3/23. The seller contacted me and offered a refund of the purchase. I appreciate the customer care they provided, and look forward to trying their product again. They offered to send me a sample to be able to taste their coffee at it's best.I first learned about Yemen coffee from a 60 minute segment discussing the unique characteristics of coffee from that region. After finding this coffee I was excited, only to be met with disappointment after brewing my first cup. The coffee had a harsh solvent like smell to it, and drank as bad as it smelled. Just to make sure I didn't brew it wrong, I tried it in a French press, pour over, and old school coffee maker. Each time the coffee smelled and tasted bad. I had to blend the rest of the beans with one of my regular go-to beans to finish out the bag. It was an expensive lesson, brewer beware.

I've been subscribed to Al-Aqueeq for a few months now and I have been very happy with the decision each time.The beans are always roasted perfectly with an aroma that (as far as I'm concerned) speaks to the altitude and soil like few other beans. I've had it both French Press and drip brew and both bring out different and equally pleasurable cup (or in my case 2).Highly Recommend

I've had Yemen Coffee in Afghanistan and having lived most of my life in New York; my Indian friend owner of a coffee shop had Yemen coffee in the back every morning, it was so good no cream or sugar was needed. I know Yemen coffee and the stuff sent to me - is not it! Unless you had a bad batch 🇾🇪 Yemen. Update 12-12-2023 8 AM The owner did Ship me another bag of coffee AND IT WAS A LITTLE BETTER BUT NOT MY CUP OF TEA (coffee) either my tastebuds have changed or he just keeps on getting a bad batch from Yemen. I only wish them luck

I served this Yemen coffee at my book club and everyone loved it. I am not a big coffee drinker, but this coffee was special and I can enjoy it without honey & cream. I will definitely order it again!

I ordered the AlAqeeq coffee a while back . It was delivered by the post office to the wrong address . When the USPS couldn’t help me, the AlAqeeq coffee company just sent me another package at no charge . Wonderful customer serviceThe coffee itself is great, smooth with terrific aroma . I am enjoying it very much
