Although Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, Yemen is the first Arab country to start growing coffee.

Today, Yemen still grows coffee in the traditional way, which is not much different from the way it was used in 1600 AD.

Coffee is grown at 3000 meters above sea level, and the diversion irrigation system built 400 years ago is still in use.

The irrigation system collects Rain Water and distributes a limited amount of water equally.

Due to the limited source of water, all coffee is treated by the sun.

The name Mocha comes from the fact that early coffee was mainly exported from the port of Mocha in Yemen.

Although the port was closed in 1800, the name mocha, used for coffee, continues to be used.

There are two main famous kinds of coffee: Mattari and Sanani.

Mattari coffee is full-bodied and has a cocoa flavor

Sanani's coffee is wild and sour.

[extended reading]

After carefully savoring this batch of Matali, it immediately reminds people of the book "the Gate of the Arab South" written by Freyas Tucker!

Freya. Freya Stark, a British traveler, was born in Paris in 1893. Freya should be regarded as the greatest female traveler of the 20th century. For example, she heard from her Arab friends that in Iran, deep in the mountains of the Elbourz Mountains south of the Caspian Sea, there are still fortresses and followers of the old assassins. Believers of this sect will take an anesthetic Hasisins. The elders of this sect often use violent assassinations to deal with the enemy. The word Hassins later became the origin of the English word "assassin" (assassin); Freya finally found the remains of this ancient sect and wrote a great book, the Valley of assassins, Valleys of the Assassins, to establish her immortal status as an adventure writer!

Read Freya. When Stark wrote the Gate of the Arab South, it was a pleasure to have a Yemeni Matali mocha.

During the cup test, it was found that this batch of mascara is not only spice, red wine is sour, there is also a light frankincense mixed with citrus and spice complex flavor, quite special, frankincense is produced by olive frankincense wood (Boswellia thurifera) containing volatile oil flavor resin, the collection method is in the bark incision, milky juice, she will harden after contact with the air, into translucent lipids, the Arab world is still cremated It is used in religious ceremonies and as a perfume (raw material for making incense and essential oils). The ancient distribution center of frankincense was Yemen.

In November 1934, Freya sailed through the Red Sea and landed at the Yemeni port of Aden, which was still under British control. from here, Freya embarked on her most unforgettable journey into South Arabia alone. Visit the frankincense road in the Hadaramao Valley, the richest region in the Arab world, hoping to be the first Westerner to find the obliterated capital of the ancient kingdom [Shabawa]. Because Shabawa was the center of the spice trade in ancient times.

Freya's works are not only stimulating and adventurous, but also knowledgeable and well-quoted, with an in-depth description of the historical background, customs and customs of the place to be visited. The Arab Gate of the South was published in 1936. It was a bestseller at that time, and the introduction in the book was "the Road of spices". It really has a lot to do with Yemen.

As long as Yemeni coffee is immediately reminiscent of thick and wild sun-dried beans, Yemeni coffee farmers have been planting according to the ancient methods handed down by their ancestors, because Yemen's rugged terrain is not easy to grow and there is little rainfall. Therefore, Yemeni coffee farmers choose terraces or lowlands for planting, and choose areas that are not easily exposed to strong sun exposure, while most Yemeni farmers are poor and cannot use pesticides. Almost all of them are cultivated naturally and organically.

Yemen, by the Red Sea, is the ancestor of the earliest coffee exported in the coffee-producing country, and the port of Mocha is its earliest port of export, and the early coffee planting in Yemen 500 years ago also surrounded the hills around the harbor. There are many names of the port of Mocha, including: Al-Makha, Al-Mocha, Al-Mokka, Mocha. Wait, this mysterious drink was discovered by Portuguese sailors who arrived at the port of Mocha in the 17th century, and since then coffee has been introduced into Europe.

The current export port of Yemeni coffee is Port of Aden (Aden) or Port of Holiday (Hodeida). Yemeni coffee is still grown in the same way as it was 500 years ago, with a wide variety of varieties, including adzuki bean Ismaili and ancient heirloom, as well as Adeni and Mattari.

Yemeni coffee is almost planted on mountain slopes with an elevation of up to 3000Mel 7000ft, belonging to terraced alpine terraces. Because of low rainfall, coffee trees absorb water in a way similar to that of French grapevines, with strong vitality. They often have to rely on the strong water retention capacity of tree species to survive the dry period, while the dry and high temperature of air and soil also make the fruit look small and hard!

Yemeni coffee is used in the natural sun. Coffee fruits are harvested and spread directly on the courtyard or roof to dry, but some coffee fruits are even directly air-dried on trees and then harvested (this method is called floating). After drying and shelling, stone mills are still used today, which are still dragged by animals, such as camels or donkeys, and camels have been an important animal husbandry industry in Yemen since ancient times.

There are two kinds of coffee raw bean packaging after harvest and treatment. the general grade is packed in linen bags, and the top raw beans (such as Matali) will use traditional straw bags, which are called Mats, which will be woven into a large bag to hold raw beans, and the exquisite ones will be subdivided into 6 small bags, each packed with local cotton cloth, 10 kg each, and then put these 6 small bags into Mats, and then put them into sacks for export. So there are three layers of packing.
