Hayma Kharijiya is known for its mild and refreshing climate 
and fresh air. A series of blue-coloured mountains can be 
found here such as the well-known Jabal al-Shaja. The air from 
the mountains is so perfectly clear that you can see Yemen 
across the horizon.

pride. They believe that the coffee tree originated on their 
land. Some farmers have ownership documents dating back from a 
few hundred years. This lots represents the production of 4 
farmers. One of the farmers in this lot had a total production 
of only 6 kg. The harsh climate could be one of the reasons 
for low yield, but no matter how small the harvest is, these 
farmers can never abandon their coffee trees.
