In fact, Yemen is located on the Arabian Peninsula of the Asian continent, but it is very close to Africa as long as it crosses the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden Gulf of Aden, but other Arab countries do not produce coffee, so the world classifies Yemeni coffee as a member of the North African coffee family. So what is the Yemeni mocha? Mocha is the export port of Yemeni coffee, because it is difficult to name all the tiny sub-producing areas in the history of the coffee trade, even though the coffee produced by these small producing areas is indeed very good. So the sun beans near the place of export, including East Africa, were exported from the port of Mocha to all parts of the world in the early days, and now the port of Mocha has long been silted up and disappeared. Many Ethiopian sun beans also name themselves mocha, such as Haramoka, which we know well. I think this is because its flavor has something in common with Yemeni coffee.

The most correct spelling of mocha coffee should be Al-Mahka, which is the Arabic spelling, but in the end, what you see on the sack is the correct spelling of Mocca or Mocha, regardless of some naming and spelling trivialities, Yemeni coffee is the most unique and expensive coffee in the world, the overall style of [wild] or [natural] coffee flavor is extremely complex, for some people it is spicy and pungent. But in any case, you must try it sometime. Among the top Yemeni coffees bought from Direct Coffee, you will find that you like this unique coffee very much, and if you also fall in love with him, it will be the beginning of a whole new coffee journey.

Yemen is probably the first country in the world to use coffee as a cash crop. It is said that coffee was introduced by Muslim Sufi pilgrims from Ethiopia in the 6th century. Yemeni coffee culture is different from other regions. Exporters do not buy directly from the farm, but from the middle market dealers, and the coffee received by the local market merchants contains pods. The whole dried coffee cherry is usually stored in the cellar, and the special flavor of the world's favorite Yemeni coffee may come from their ancient way of trade. Yemeni coffee farmers have not suffered from trading through the market. The main reason is that the local coffee cultivation land is limited, coupled with high latitudes and limited water resources, its production is very scarce, and the demand for Yemeni coffee is very high. Keep the price of Yemeni coffee high.

It is not easy to grow coffee in Yemen. Most farmland grows Qat grass, which is said to have a mild and refreshing effect. This plant absorbs water from the ground and breaks the underground aquifer. Growing coffee is not the same as hoping that some changes can be made to stop farmers from growing cat grass. But Qat's profit is tens of times that of coffee, and coffee beans can only be persuaded by the government to keep a small area under Qat. Maybe this also gives you a lot of room to imagine.
