Building the first coffee lab in Yemen, training Coffee professionals, to establish the NYCA

The auction initiative is being developed on the basis of The Mokha Institute’s larger strategy for the advancement of Yemen’s specialty coffee industry. Essential to this effort is establishing Yemen’s first coffee lab which is projected. We were proud to officially open the NYCA Coffee Lab in March of 2022.

“Establishing Yemen’s first internationally certified coffee lab will lay the foundation for our long term mission to educate and train a new generation of coffee professionals in Yemen.”
