An authentic Yemeni coffee experience in Temple Terrace
The Qamaria experience emphasizes the authenticity of Yemeni coffee, with beans sourced directly from single farms. These beans are carefully harvested, processed, and roasted to bring out the distinctive flavors that have made Yemeni coffee renowned worldwide. Yemenis have been brewing coffee for over 500 years, and historians trace coffee’s origins to Yemen, where Sufi monks first brewed it as a stimulant.
Founded by two Yemeni entrepreneurs, Hatem and Munif, Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. “began with a shared dream to bring Yemeni coffee to the world,” according to the company’s website. “After eight years of building a sustainable supply chain, they succeeded in sourcing this rare coffee, which now supplies roasters and coffee shops across the U.S.”
The Temple Terrace opening marks an exciting milestone for Qamaria as they expand their footprint, bringing a taste of Yemen’s finest coffee to the Tampa area.
