Is Yemeni Coffee Worth the Price?

October 25, 2026 · Al-Aqeeq Team

Quick answerFor many coffee lovers, yes. Yemeni coffee costs more than supermarket coffee because Yemen's harvests are tiny, cherries are hand-picked and sun-dried on mountain terraces, and getting beans out of Yemen is difficult. But a 250 g bag makes about 16-20 cups, so even premium Yemeni coffee usually costs less per cup than a cafe latte.

Why it costs more

  • Very small production by world standards
  • Hand labor on steep terraces
  • Complex export logistics
  • Fresh small-batch roasting

Cost per cup

Divide the bag price by about 18 cups. Buying 5 bags saves a further 10%.

What you get

A rare origin with cocoa, dried-fruit and spice flavors, and coffee that supports Yemeni farming families.
