Pros

  • Wonderful fragrance
  • Nice balance of flavors

Cons

  • Felt a bit thin in the body
  • Not as bright and fruit forward as I was hoping for in a natural

This is the second review from the brew and brew based in Milwaulkee, Vennture Brew Co. The first, a washed coffee from Guatemala, was very impressive, so I was excited to try this naturally processed coffee from Yemen. I have an inclination towards naturally processed coffees, so I was excited to try one from a region I am not as familiar with coffee-wise. The flavor description of “cocoa melting into sweet berries” also had my interested peaked.

While this was a nice clean cup of coffee with some nice acidity, it wasn’t one of the top natural options I’ve tried. It lacked some of the strong fruit notes and flavor complexities I expect from a naturally processed coffee and the body was a bit thin.

The Bottom Line

This is still a great coffee, but overall I was a bit disappointed given my high standards for what a naturally processed coffee can be.
