I roasted up some of this on Friday in the Gene Cafe.  Things went a bit
haywire at the end since my flashlight died (roasting room is too dark to
get a real sense of bean color) and I had to work by smell, but it wound up
at City+ where I wanted it.  I had the first pot this morning - I have to
say it ranked as one of the best cups ever.  This is even more impressive
since I normally dislike Yemeni coffees.  This one was clean as a whistle;
no funkiness.  A very interesting milk chocolate-covered citrus note to it.
Extremely complex and lasting, and yet a fairly light coffee on the whole.
Having a Yemen coffee roasted so light is a new experience for me, and one I
like very much.  Kudos to Tom for bringing in these specimens.  I have the
Sharasi and Ismaili as well, but haven't tried them.
