Originally from Yemen, Mocha is the first country in the world to grow a lot of coffee. So far, coffee growers in Yemen still retain the way their ancestors planted and processed coffee 500 years ago. Although most Central and South American countries have used machines to process coffee beans and are quite efficient, Yemenis still use ancient ways such as camels or donkeys to promote stone grinding to process coffee beans. they are the only living fossils of the history of coffee processing in the world. Therefore, it is very different from Blue Mountain Coffee, and the mocha coffee we can taste today is almost exactly the same as the mocha coffee drunk by the aristocracy and the common people in Europe hundreds of years ago.

Although Yemen is rich in Mocha, Mocha is not an "indigenous people" of Yemen. Mocha's ancestors originally grew up in Ethiopia. In 575 AD, the coffee beans floated across the Red Sea to Yemen on the other side, where they took root and became famous all over the world. In the early 17th century, Yemeni coffee was first exported to Europe through the ancient port of Mocha, which was named "Mocha Coffee" after the port where it was exported.

Yemeni mocha plays an important role in the spread of coffee. It is the birthplace of coffee trade and sells coffee to all parts of the world through various channels. Mocha coffee has another name-Arabica Coffee, which is a new name for mocha in Catholic countries in Europe. Since then, Yemeni mocha coffee has been the only coffee exported to Europe for at least 150 years. In fact, Mocha has just entered Europe, and the locals are confused by it. Because mocha coffee tastes so delicious, the Vatican religion never resists coffee. They include it in Catholic drinks and bless those who drink it. From then on, coffee began to be accepted by Europeans.

Although Ethiopia is the first country in the world to produce coffee, it is Yemen that has brought adzuki beans to the world and is well known by people all over the world. Therefore, coffee is an important pillar industry in Yemen and a spiritual symbol of the Yemeni people. There are coffee trees on the national emblem of Yemen.

Today, mocha coffee is famous all over the world, but who knows that there is such a strange relationship between the busy port of many ships before the 18th century and the mocha coffee today.
