You might be interested in this review I received. Unfortunately, these beans
are from my 3 year old stash and they are difficult to purchase now. Beware
that Yemens from 2005 have been poor.  The roaster is my CCR (computer
controlled roaster).  I may have one extra in my current lot.
Yemen Mokha Sana'ani:
As espresso, this is extremely well balanced for single origin shots,
with plenty of sweetness and layered complexity. The finish is nicer
than brewed, and with a long lingering aftertaste. But as an vac pot
this is also very good.
The nose reveals an intense intoxicating aroma  with notes of  bright
fruitiness, a winey flavor for the acidity. All of these sensations are
felt also after swallowing the coffee in the long lasting aroma that
remains for several minutes. Its taste is round and velvet-like,
substantial full body  There is no astringent taste.As the  coffee
passes through your lips  it begins with a burst of pungent(the good),
earthy,  after  the first layered of flavor, a light, delicate
fruitiness is revealed, and in the end a bit of  spiciness. The coffee
has a good,  dried fruit character. It has great fragrance as a dry
coffee and great wet aromatics. The aftertaste is long but the fruity
notes alone are a compelling reason to sip this coffee! I never realized
that Yemen Mokha Sana'ani could be that good.
For blend recommendations, this coffee might do well with a chocolaty
Brazil  for a smooth low toned espresso but  for the rest of
us who enjoy a single origin espresso this is an excellent cup of exotic
coffee. WELL DONE  with your roasting technique and especially with the
computerized controlled program that you developed for the Hottop. It
seems that you have the best of both roasters  air and drum in one unit.
