Coffee Description
A variation of the natural process, deep fermentation refers to a slow dried process in which we aim for over 30 drying days. We double the layer of cherries to imitate a semi-anaerobic drying environment. The cherries are carefully turned throughout the process. The result of the deep fermentation process is a fruit-forward coffee full of flavor. - Qima Coffee

About Al Obrah Community of Yemen
We’re over here bursting with delight that we get to share some of this year’s Yemenia harvest with you…thanks to our partners at Qima Coffee and the hard work of the farmers in the Al Obrah Community in Sana’a, Yemen.
The governorate of Sana’a not only has the biggest share of specialty coffee production, in both quality and quantity in Yemen but also has one of the longest continuous coffee cultures in the world. Much of the coffee consumed in Sana’a is prepared using the traditional Ibrik method, brewing coffee in a copper or silver pot over hot charcoals.
Al Obrah is a village high in the mountains in the coffee growing region of Hayma Dakhiliya. The trees grow in fertile, mineral-rich soil & have adapted to the harsh mountainous environment, continuing to produce high-quality coffee with fresh, fruity hints. It’s believed that some of the coffee trees are over 100 years old! But recently coffee trees have been struggling with disease, greatly impacting the region’s outturn of coffee cherries and overall yield.

Mad Priest Coffee
To curious people who are sick of the bland, corporate & “heretical” coffee experience, Mad Priest Coffee Roasters is the unconventional, creative, “sacred” coffee choice. While we may sometimes be irreverent, we always take our coffee and our mission seriously. That’s because we are mad about injustice, especially societal inequality...and bad coffee.
Mad Priest Coffee Roasters began in 2015 as a small-batch specialty coffee roasting company + a social enterprise with the mission to “craft excellent coffee, educate the curious, champion the displaced” and we currently operate our roastery and retail locations in Chattanooga, TN. From the beginning, our goal has been to run a sustainable, for-profit business with a triple bottom line that includes social and environmental goals alongside the economic ones. And most of all, we want to create the best product that wins awards -- and make that product accessible to curious people from every race and culture.
Get Mad. Stay Blessed.
