99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The u.s. Is the world's second
biggest importer of coffee.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is a very labor intensive. Crop

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
can take three to four years for a
plant to Bear. The kind of fruit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We would roast and grind,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but the two people typically paid,
the least in the chain are the farmer.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And the Barista learning about coffee is
about learning where your dollar goes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We follow one of those chains
from Michigan to Yemen.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hello. Hey, how are you?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Would you recommend today? You wanted
something with cream and night cream,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
cream. Those go with them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, everything for here, right? Yes, sir.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A human has, a bunny is
a coffee Mogul in making

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in 2017. He opened his
first shop in Dearborn,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and is now branching out to two locations.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One across town and another in New York.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
He's not selling your average American
style. Filtered coffee, though.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It has two bunnies. Coffee
beans are from Yemen.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Good guys.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Thank you. We gonna make
one son and one juvenile.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, Wilson, and I'm going to
use the medium roast with the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Mm. Mm, for the Jubilee we use.
Light roast, medium, roast,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
coffee house, Ginger. Cinnamon.
Cardamom God. It's like

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
special mix. So, this is like
the gateway drug into Yemen. Yes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's like Bridge doesn't have
sugar, but yemeni coffee is famous.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It has natural Sweetness in it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I take my coffee with sugar every
morning, but I can drink this without sugar,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
good.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's to gonna change your mind.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
These coffee beans are sweeter because
they're grown in the highest mountainous.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Regions of the country.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Why is coffee so important for
um, flaming first is our culture.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We drink coffee everyday.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's also open Yemen
to the other countries.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So when they start shipping to
different countries people, they

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
read more about Yemen,
they want to visit them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And they want to see what's
different about you, man.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How old were you? When you
had your first cup of coffee?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So my mom, she told me when I was a kid,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I had two things coffee and
a spicy. Since the, if the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Something wrong with this baby. Yemen,
may have been the first to drink coffee,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
nearly a thousand years ago, when it exported
it, out of a famous Port called mocha,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but, colonialism conflict and the
rising popularity of coffee crops.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Elsewhere, overtook it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and has a bunny left home in 2011,
but his brother still back in her has

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
running the family's coffee Farm. Hello.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hello salaam alaikum.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Huh?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Look.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How did she get in trouble?
They'll try to give me a hug

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it's almost 45 years,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a rebel militia based in the north. The
houthis has been fighting with a coalition

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
backed by the Saudis for control.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Coalition blocked.
Most imports from coming in

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the fighting has made life
in the Region's poorest country.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hell more than 100,000
people have died so far.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
From airstrikes famine and rampant disease

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and exporting. Anything amid. All of
this chaos is sometimes, impossible.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's cheaper to attempt
this only once a year

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the only way to keep the beans fresh
is to roast and grind them in the US.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You must really believe in this yemeni
coffee. Yes, first, I believe in our brand,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I believe, in our yemeni coffee beans, as
one of the best companies in the world.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Also, I believe in myself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I didn't listen to anyone. I just said

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I spend all saving, I have 41k, a
break it down. I guess I use it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I use all my credit card.
I use all the money I have.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So everybody will be your crazy

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when people first hear the word
Yemen, they think of a current War.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Bloodshed,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but to you, Yemen, signifies
something else. It's not in my life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's my birth place.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I stopped watching news, actually, especially
ones come to him. And it's just said,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm fired right here,
and I can't do nothing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's just, I can't control my
emotion. I can't control myself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's bothering me from inside.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oh, my family. So there I have
my sister said she was sick

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and because it was no hospital in
here, man. It is no doctors normal said

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
she was away in the way and because

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
they take her to the hospital and they
said, they didn't do nothing for her.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So they send her back
home and she get worse.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They take her back to the
hospital. She didn't make it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Do you ever feel guilty

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you're here and there?
They're back in a war zone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sometimes I feel guilty because I'm not
next to them. Family is very important.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Other side, when I
found not guilty because

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
at least I'm here to
support them to help them.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If all of us stuck there, you
don't know what's going to happen.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What are your hopes for a better? You

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
this war has to end.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is first second. We have
to be all yemeni together.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What are you thinking about?
I just wanna get emotional.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's why I'm yeah.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It just said I was crazy about me.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I remember those people as
Nana, they fight. It's not just,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's really bad.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, if we're not, not gonna do nothing,
nothing gonna change.
