A brief History of Coffee
Yemen and Ethiopia are almost synonymous with the history of coffee.
Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. Yemeni coffee has a long history. Coffee cultivation has been recorded since 575 AD, and it is recognized as the first country in the world to start agricultural coffee cultivation.
Yemen is the only country in the Arab world that produces coffee, and the first popularity of coffee in the Arab world began in Yemen.
The drinking habit of coffee spread to different regions as businessmen from different places spread, but it was accepted by the world outside its origin on a large scale, starting with the large-scale export of coffee, the earliest of which was the port of Mocha in Yemen.
With the visit of the Dutch, the original small fishing village has grown into a famous port. Al Mahka, which we now call Port Mocha (above Mocha), is a must-see term when it comes to the history of coffee. Today, "mocha", which is familiar to most coffee drinkers, is written in a variety of ways. Mocha, moca, mocca and moka all originated in this unknown place of origin.
Based on the merchant's profit-seeking nature, the Arabs firmly controlled the supply of coffee for a long time, and all coffee beans exported to Europe set off from the port of Mocha. So much so that "mocha" was once regarded as synonymous with coffee.
After European countries acquired the ability to grow coffee in turn in the 17th century, the coffee from the port of Mocha still maintained a fairly high market share. The oldest blend of coffee in the world is Arabica coffee from the island of Java mixed with coffee from the port of Mocha, that is, the famous "Mocha Java Integrated Mocha Java Blend".
In the 18th and 19th centuries, with the rise of coffee producing areas in America and the formation of modern coffee supply pattern, the share of Yemeni coffee in the world supply decreased, but it did not affect its lofty status at all. Scarcity and luxury is the common feeling of many coffee drinkers outside the Arab world.
Although it is located in the Asian continent, in the coffee industry, people are more accustomed to classifying it as "North African system". There is a vivid and interesting analogy. The African continent threw a stone a little far across the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, that is, Yemen.
Coffee variety
100% Arabica, with many ancient varieties, today's main coffee producing areas such as Brazil, Central America and the Caribbean, the ancestors of coffee can be traced back to the origin, but they are all the descendants of Yemeni coffee.
Coffee planting
The way coffee is grown in Yemen has not changed much for hundreds of years. Coffee trees still grow on mountain terraces that have witnessed countless seasons, and coffee farmers still use ditches laid out by stones used by their ancestors centuries ago. irrigate coffee trees. Picking and follow-up treatment still follow the ancient method.
Yemeni coffee is mostly grown in high altitude areas, coupled with the dry climate, which has created the hard bean constitution of Yemeni coffee.
Many producing areas are located in remote areas and still use donkeys as a means of transshipment.
In 2006, the Yemeni Ministry of Agriculture estimated that the coffee planting area in the country was about 33260 hectares, producing 17292 tons.
Coffee processing
Dry treatment. It is common for fresh coffee fruits to be dried on the roof. in addition, the older treatment includes branch drying, that is, leaving the coffee fruit on the branch and waiting for it to be naturally dried before picking.
Coffee roasting
Affected by high altitude and dry climate, Yemeni coffee beans are small and hard. Different from raw beans in other producing areas, Yemeni coffee beans can further show rich flavor changes when they go through deep baking, with excellent mellowness and flavor. In addition, for the sake of dry treatment, the color of coffee beans is not uniform after baking.
