Now this is a colourful sack, Yemen Mocha Matari coffee is quite rare and therefore commands a high price - £30 per kilo of green coffee - and that's why it comes in these small 25kg sacks. Although I have sold this coffee as raw green coffee beans for many years, this is the first time I have roasted it. A customer specifically requested a 1kg bag of roasted, and it seemed reasonable enough to oblige.

Here is some of the specifications of Yemen Mocha Matari, it a coffee with quite a back story.

Here we have the roasted beans - look good don't they! Because this is the first time I have roasted Yemen Mocha Matari - it is going to be the first time I taste it as well - so this is quite exciting, I hope my roasting skills did it justice.

A small dose of the beans into the Aeropress, ready to tip into the grinder.

And ground, just a little finer the filter grind.

Add off the boil water to let it infuse with the grounds.

And we are ready to brew, almost time to take the plunge.

![IMG_1019.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZD8GyLeXPQamEYMZQ6ELd7bnvKHKA2R4LeUCSnFjd7fJ/IMG_1019.jpg)

Plunging the Aeropress forces the water through the coffee ground, extracting all the flavour.

And here we have the freshly brewed Yemen Mocha Matari coffee, I always drink it black to appreciate the more delicate flavours.

The taste truly is WOW. Big flavour with overwhelming Dark Chocolate and deep tones of cherry. Incredibly naturally sweet, I have roasted and tasted many premium priced coffees including Jamaican Blue Mountain which at £100 per kilo is a very rare and expensive coffee. But Yemen Mocha Matari truly justifies it's price, incredible flavour and such a super smooth body - in fact it has been getting even better after roasting, two days later and I have had six cups while writing this post!

The greatest challenge we face on Steemit is getting our posts seen, I have always believed the simplest and best value way of doing this is by commenting on the blog posts of others, the more you engage people and interact with them the greater the chance they will visit your own blog and return the favour. Other then spending all my free time commenting on Steemit posts, I also distribute [coffee roasting machines](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/collections/coffee-roasters) and also [espresso coffee machines](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/pages/espresso-machines) and [roast my own Speciality Coffee Range.](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/collections/speciality-roasted-coffee) being one of the premium [coffee suppliers Yorkshire](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk) including a wide range of [filter coffee sachets](https://www.pennineteaandcoffee.co.uk/products/knightsbridge-filter-coffee-sachets-50-x-3pint?variant=31757582282)
