Introduction until the sixth century AD, Yemen was called Arabian, so coffee trees transported from Yemen to other places were also called Arabian coffee trees. The origin of these trees is Ethiopia (Ethiopia), and the Dutch spread these coffee trees all over the world. Dutch businessmen heading eastward around the Cape of good Hope began to make a long journey.

Before wading to India, you have to pass through the east coast of Africa to the port of Mocha in Yemen. In 1696 the Dutch introduced the coffee tree to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and then to Batavia in Java. Mocha beans are smaller and rounder than most, which makes mocha beans look like peas-in fact, bean-shaped berry coffee beans (Peaberry bean) are sometimes called mocha beans. Mocha beans are similar to Ethiopian Harrar beans in shape, with small particles, high acidity and a hint of chocolate, so the attempt to add chocolate to coffee is a natural development. In Yemen, coffee growers plant poplars to provide shade for coffee trees to grow. As in the past, these trees are planted on steep terraces to maximize the use of less rainfall and limited land resources. In addition to Tibica and bourbon coffee trees, more than a dozen different coffee species native to Ethiopia are planted in Yemen. However, even the best coffee, such as premium mocha, is air-dried and the peel is connected to the beans. Until now, traditional stone mills are often used to remove dry and hard shells, which makes the shape of coffee beans very irregular and often damages them. Although Yemen coffee is of high quality and slippery aroma, there is something unsatisfactory, that is, the quality can not be continuously guaranteed and the classification of its coffee beans is uncertain. Traditionally, the best coffee beans in Yemen come from Mattari, followed by Sharki, followed by Sanani. These producing areas are treated by the sun, so the coffee beans have a wild flavor, generally speaking, Yemen coffee has a unique character, wild, complex and exciting, especially the charming sour wine and deep dark chocolate flavor. These beans are low in caffeine and are exported from December to April of the following year. The problem in the past has been that coffee from the north was mixed with shoddy stuff before it was shipped from the southern port of Aden. Only coffee shipped from the port of Hodeida can be determined to come from the north.
