It was stated in The Description of the Arabian Peninsula by Al-Hamdani:

“Haraaz is a vast region centered around Manakhah, located on the route between Sana’a and Al Hudaydah. Al-Hamdani described it as ‘Circular Haraaz,’ referring to its fortified and well-protected nature. The area is known for its towering mountains overlooking the elevated plains of Tihamah, crowned with countless villages suspended among clouds and mist. Among its most notable valleys is Wadi Surrad, which separates the mountains of Haraaz to the north from Wadi Siham to the south.

Haraaz is renowned for cultivating some of the finest Arabica coffee varieties, with coffee farms spread across its mountain slopes in a uniquely rugged environment. Generation after generation, farmers have preserved this agricultural heritage, maintaining its traditional practices and meticulous handcrafting methods. This remarkable environment has contributed to the production of coffee with a distinctive character and deep, complex flavor profile that reflects the authenticity of the land and the uniqueness of its climate, making it one of the world’s most exceptional and rare coffee origins.”

In addition, this coffee is exceptionally well-suited for both V60 and espresso brewing methods, offering a refined cup profile with notes of grape cocktail, raisin molasses, and a bright, vibrant acidity.
