Im better w the war etc in Y they wont be getting any for a while, so those archived prices might not be for

 

what you might get elsewhere now.   one thing about Yemini coffee ;

 

its very very ' organic ' as the country is so poor , the fertilizer they might use , might be

 

" human "  or none at all .   the beans are paler than another Ive had , and much smaller 

 

doe this translate to flavor  /  I really cant say .  I doubt it.

 

they claim to fame for Yemini is Mocha .     Mocha + Java   ( green coffee from Java )

 

made a name for itself a long time ago , as the two different beans complemented each other

 

and gave a " com[plete coffee " when used together .   Im sure there were PR uses back then

 

and availablitily factored into the equation .     as there always will be.

 

there are many good books on coffee beans that discuss the evolution of the various beans around the world 

 

Ethiopian  ( the good stuff ) might have replaced Yemini , and Ive read in several places that Java

 

beans began a slow decline in quality after WWII , and of the " Islands " beans  ( indonesia )

Sulawesi  these days is a better cultivar.    up to you  to decide

 

Tom's   ( of sweet maria's )   complex  reviews are consistently reliable , bean to bean.

 

you just have to add a " Fudge " factor to them to reflect your personal taste

 

remember , Coffee in-the-Cup    is a personal beverage , so its up to you to decided what you like
