Kingdom of the Sun

Asia, perhaps because of its proximity to the equator, has always had the impression of sunshine, rice, spices, tropical fruits, and Buddhism. This is our common understanding of Asia. In fact, this impression is not far from the personality of Asian coffee. Terroir conditions are a key factor in determining coffee flavor, and coffee grown in Asia naturally has unique Asian flavors, such as herbs, wood, spices, malt, heavy and rich, and low acidity, which can often be tasted in Asian coffee.

Yemen

Coffee lovers must know that coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia, Africa, but it was in Yemen that coffee really flourished. Around the beginning of the 17th century, Yemen's Mocha Port was a prosperous trading port, through which coffee was shipped to Europe, and caused a craze in Europe, which also made "Mocha Coffee" famous. Yemeni coffee is often spicy, fermented fruit and complex.

Although the earliest "mocha coffee" refers to the coffee exported from Mocha Port in Yemen, the mocha coffee referred to today represents one of the Italian flavored coffee, which is made by adding bitter cocoa to the coffee and then fusing with milk. This bitter flavored coffee is similar to the "mocha" coffee exported from Yemen, so it is also named mocha coffee.
