#2 Oakland is just where most beans come into the USA. But blood diamonds might be correct. Last time green beans from Yemen on the market were about $25 a pound. This time the most expensive were $14/lb and the cheapest were $10/lb.
Compare to the best Colombian at $8.50 with lowest green Colombian at $6.50. This is like $55 roasted to $70 roasted in your local high quality store for Colombian. Most cost if after roasting. So if one could find roasted Yemen on the market it would be way over $100/lb.

#3 Unless what’s being sold as Yemeni beans is mislabelled cheaper stuff from somewhere else…

#4 TW .. Nobody else grows beans the way Yemen does. I would never drink Yemen coffee. They rot the fruit and leave the rotten fruit to burn off the beans when they roast it. Sometimes the save some of the rotten fruits and make a tea out of the putrid fruit. It's truly a disgusting way to prepare a food source and drinking it is an acquired taste.
