I looked around but didn't see any one roasting the Yemen Sana'a Ibb Highlands. I was (finally) able to roast a few batches yesterday and was pleased that it seemed to roast pretty easily and evenly with few defects, if any. This morning there's definitely chocolate, cocoa and a bit of dried wood/leather (which I love btw).

I'm resisting the urge to brew and will wait at least 2 more days before trying it. In the meantime just opening the bag and taking a nice long inhalation is keeping me satisfied.

I just bought three Yemeni coffees from SM. The Sana Ib Highlands is outstanding! Cocoa, spices, is great as an espresso and my wife loves it for lattes. I roast dark, well into 2c.

I've got SM's Mokha Matari, which is fantastic. Needs lots of rest though -- several weeks before it peaks.

I find around 10 days is when Yemeni coffees start to shine. Is there a general consensus that coffee from Yemen needs more rest after roasting than coffees from other regions?
