The Full Story
Producers in these regions meticulously handpick only the ripest cherries, often making several passes on each tree to ensure peak ripeness. After harvesting, cherries are cleaned and sorted at Sheba’s processing hub near Sana’a, then dried using a combination of raised beds and greenhouses. This meticulous drying process, which takes two to three weeks, ensures even moisture levels between 11-12%, preserving the beans' quality.
After drying, the beans are rested, hulled, and carefully sorted before decaffeination. The CO2 method used for decaffeination is both efficient and sustainable, allowing for the reuse of CO2 and the repurposing of extracted caffeine for products such as pharmaceuticals.
