The Essence of Yemeni Qishr: A Field Evaluation

In the fifth stage of our investigative tour at "Al-Amadi Coffee" (Haraz Mocha), we shift our focus from the bean to the shell. Harazi Coffee Husks (locally known as Qishr) are a cornerstone of Yemeni coffee culture, now gaining massive traction in global health and specialty markets.

These husks are the outer casing of the coffee cherry, separated during the natural dry-processing method. What makes the Harazi variety exceptional is the high concentration of natural sugars and antioxidants retained during the sun-drying process on high-altitude mountain terraces.

Technical Observations & Quality:

  • Visual Purity: The sample shows a clean, vibrant reddish-brown color with minimal dust or foreign matter, confirming high-end mechanical and manual sorting.
  • Aroma Profile: A sweet, fruit-forward scent reminiscent of dried cherries and cinnamon, characteristic of the Haraz terroir.
  • Market Grade: Export-grade husks suitable for premium "Qishr Coffee" blends and health-conscious beverage manufacturers.
