Cafe Moto is happy to have a limited amount of this coffee. The power, taste and flavors are quite different and offer a strawberry cream, citrus pound cake and caramelized sugars in a way distinctly Yemen. Packaged in 12 oz bags, this coffee is best when rested 7-9 days from roasting and ground fresh. ( See Baratza Grinders in the gear section)
