Yemen Mocca
A natural Yemeni coffee from Al-Haymah, Jadee/Jaadi variety, grown at 1,000 to 2,000 meters. Just two notes: blueberry and dark chocolate. It's an 8-ounce bag, so it reads more like a treat to explore than a daily staple.
Pick it if blueberry sounds good to you.
Best for Adventurous drinkers wanting a Yemeni natural

Dark chocolate, baked apple and plum sounds like an autumn dessert. This Brazil and Colombia blend is washed and direct trade, and Intelligentsia recommends it for drip and pour-over. Good company for a slow weekend morning.
Pick it if baked apple and plum sound good to you.
Best for Drip and pour-over drinkers who like chocolate with fruit
