Origin Story

Mokhtar Alkhanshali

Mokhtar Alkhanshali—founder of Port of Mokha and the subject of Dave Eggers' 2018 NYT Best Seller 'the Monk of Mokha'—after 8 years of working with Yemeni coffee farmers, along with his team, is proud to launch Al-Khanshali Coffee Estates. Operating as a boutique coffee producer and importer, specializing in Yemen, Al-Khanshali Estates is launching this year with its first four farms; Al-Khanshali I, Al-Khanshali II, Al-Khanshali III and Al-Khanshali IV. The flagship farm, Al-Khanshali I is owned and operated by Mokhtar, who has complete control over each step in the production process. The others function as partner farms, where Al-Khanshali Estates works intimately with the farmer and handles all the processing.

This lot comes from Al-Khanshali I, located in West Haraz, it's both accessible and desirable for its unique microclimate and extreme high elevation. Future plans for this flagship farm include an onsite coffee lab, a complete processing facility and an onsite mill. This farm gives Mokhtar the opportunity to experiment with different processing techniques, research genetics, and develop various varieties.

Processing

Anaerobic Natural

Why We Love This Coffee

This coffee was processed using a variation of the natural method referred to as anaerobic. After harvesting, the coffee cherries were left to macerate and ferment in an oxygen free environment for nine days before being dried on raised beds. The result is a coffee that displays a great deal of sweetness and intensely fruity flavors.
