This is my first Yemen that I picked up from the most recent BayBean.
I found that these beans were quite small and there was also a considerable percentage of beans that were crushed (lots of quarter and half beans in the bag).
I loaded up the Behmors drum and shook it about to get rid of the shards of beans that would have fell through during the roast. In stead of throwing these away, I chucked it in a pan and used a wooden spoon to roast them the old fashioned way.
It was pretty uneven, but it smells quite similar to the Ethiopian Gambella and Ghimbi. The Ethopian beans had an odd scent to them, but turned out quite chocolately and was beautiful in the cup. I assume the Yemen will be quite similar because it has that odd scent to it.
Ive got another batch of dodgy yemen beans and will have another crack at pan roasting later this week (i sifted through the whole 2.5 kilo bag and collected all the small bits).
I thought Id post this for anyone else who ordered the Yemen beans with the intention of roasting it in a Behmor.
