The aroma of Yemeni history.. in a rare cup.
The " Adini" crop presents an exceptional experience from the heart of Yemen's ancient coffee-growing heritage. This coffee is grown at an altitude of 2300 meters using local Yemeni " Adini" varieties, then undergoes an advanced "anaerobic dried" process that adds exceptional complexity to the beans. Notes of grape, berry, and raisin manifest in the cup, crowned with high raisin-like sweetness, a medium body, and balanced acidity.
At Ninth Bar, with over 15 years of experience serving more than 3 million cups of specialty coffee, we fully understand the value of rare Yemeni crops. Therefore, we carefully selected this crop at our roastery in Jeddah and roasted it to a "medium" degree to be the optimal choice for those seeking a rich, sweet cup with a rare classic character, whether brewed via V60 to highlight sensory layers, or as Espresso for a concentrated cup.

FAQ
1- What distinguishes the Adeni variety?
It is a very old, local Yemeni variety, known for its ability to produce cups with high sweetness and a complex fruity character, especially when grown at high altitudes like 2300 meters.

3- Why is this crop considered rare? Because the yield of authentic Yemeni varieties is naturally low, and adding the anaerobic processing technique makes it an exceptional, limited-quantity crop with high-quality standards.
4- Is the sweetness in this coffee natural? Yes, the high raisin-like sweetness is a direct natural result of the Adeni variety's genetic makeup, its high altitude, and its processing method.
