  I'm normally a lighter roast drinker, but I never turn down a Yemen since you so rarely see them.
  
  This is outstanding. The best way I can describe it like big German chocolate cake with the cherries on top. The chocolate is very pronounced, there's a rich mouthfeel, and a lot of natural sweetness.
  
  This is very characteristic of great Yemen coffee. Yemeni Mocha coffee, often simply termed "Mocha" or "Yemen Mocha," boasts a distinctive flavor profile that's deeply influenced by Yemen's unique growing conditions and age-old processing methods. One of the most notable characteristics of this coffee is its pronounced fruitiness (in Euphoria's perhaps that maraschino cherry), which can evoke flavors reminiscent of various dried fruits. Additionally, the coffee often showcases rich chocolate undertones, combined with earthy and winey notes, giving it a complexity that's highly sought after. The beans typically have a medium to full body, and the finish can be slightly bittersweet. The combination of these flavors and textures makes Yemeni Mocha one of the world's most unique and celebrated coffees.
  
  Euphoria's is slightly earthy and has a very clean finish. Couldn't ask for a better cup of coffee on a chilly New England morning.
