A superb gourmet coffee from one of the oldest growing regions in the world. We often recommend this as an espresso alternative or for those looking for a distinctive single-origin cup. Yemen Mocca Sanani is sourced from family-owned plots located throughout the western highlands of Yemen, adjacent to the Red Sea between the city of Ta’izz in the south and Sa’dah in the north.
Yemen is perhaps the most historic coffee-growing region in the world, second only to Ethiopia, with a lineage spanning more than 2,000 years. Coffee production continues today with many of the same traditions dating back to the 15th century, like drying coffee naturally in the cherry on the rooftops of houses perched on the edges of steep mountain ridges. Yet modern Yemen continues to suffer from a protracted conflict that has cost almost 100,000 lives, displaced over 3 million, and left two-thirds of the country in need of food or medical aid. So when a new crop arrives, we pause to remember and honor the coffee.
What makes the quality so special is that it hinges on a relationship of trust that has been constant for decades despite the odds. In recent years, the export company called Pearl of Tehama has had to reinvent itself to reach and support producers. Providing things like localized receiving warehouses has eased the burden of transporting coffee and ensured safe storage. Pearl of Tehama is currently helping producers organize formally because recognized producer associations can solicit international assistance for needed infrastructure improvements like roads, schools, and water systems.
We wish you full enjoyment of this exceptional coffee.
They love us
The best Coffee Spot in Santa Fe. They have superior coffee, the best grind, the best array of blends, just simply the best coffee, and to top it off, the best Baristas.
Aurelia
"Excellent coffee roasted in-house. Barista was very helpful in assisting me with selecting both my cold drink and a lb of coffee to take home."
MK
"As a barista myself, I can confidently say that this is some of the best coffee I've ever tried. The staff were nice and patient, and the atmosphere was good."
Gideon
"We came here after seeing a review that said their cold brew was too strong. We like dark, strong roasts, and Ohori's did not disappoint at all. Loved having this as our go-to during our Santa Fe trip and will definitely be back next time. Also love the old-school coffee shop feel (it does not feel like a Starbucks or an Apple store!)."
Selene
"This place literally served the best cup of coffee I have ever had. Their baked goods were terrific too! I highly recommend hitting up Ohori’s for your daily coffee fix."
Jay
"Finally a black medium roast coffee that does not taste acidic - well balanced, smooth, delicious."
Peter
"Ohori's Coffee has some of the best coffee and ambience in Santa Fe. The downtown location has the best vibe and is in walking distance of the state Capitol building and the myriad shops, boutiques and galleries that surround the plaza. One of the best spots to refuel, recharge and regroup. Coffee drinks, beans and baked treats exceed expectations. Get some!"
Carl
"Best cup of dark roast I’ve had since being on the road. Only matched by the chicory from French Truck coffee I had in New Orleans."
Queen's B
"The best coffee shop I've ever been to. I'm so spoiled by the coffee I swear I'm disappointed everywhere else."
Bryonna
"Great choice for a coffee break. The coffee is good, staff is great, and the outdoor space means you can even bring a well-behaved pet. I my book, nothing beats a great cup of coffee outside in the early morning, and this is the best place in town to do that."
Diane
"The best coffee I've ever tasted, hands down. Rich, creamy, full flavor and delicious. Great atmosphere, friendly staff."
