The mention of Yemeni coffee immediately reminds people of the magical sun-dried beans that taste thick and full, with layers of fantastic wild aromas like fermented tea, as mysterious and elusive as the country in Yemen.

Yemen is located in Ethiopia, across the Red Sea from East Africa, and is the highest quality producer of natural suntan coffee. The coffee produced in Yemen is called mocha beans. In fact, Mocha is an export port of coffee. In the early days, sun beans including nearby East Africa were exported from the port of Mocha to all parts of the world, so the sun beans produced in Ethiopia, including Yemen and East Africa, are collectively referred to as moka beans.

The natural sun treatment in Yemen is to manually harvest fully mature coffee beans and directly place the newly harvested coffee beans in a special coffee drying yard or in their own compacted soil front yard to receive the sun. During the sun drying period with Taiwan, rice is usually turned over with a wooden rake to keep each bean evenly dried. After about 20 days of coffee drying, remove the outer pulp and peel from the coffee beans. Yemeni coffee has a rich, complex, mellow, strong fermentation flavor and low acidity, coupled with the uncertainty of Yemeni coffee (when it rains in the season). It is not too much to call it the most special coffee in the world.

Yemeni coffee grows in steep terrain with little rainfall, poor land and insufficient sunshine. Such unique and difficult conditions that are not conducive to coffee growth have given birth to the Yemeni mocha, which can not be replaced by the coffee world. The main producing area of Yemeni coffee is Sanani, Matari and Ismaili.

Yemen's crude and primitive coffee-growing methods have improved slightly over the centuries. Coffee trees are planted in small parks on steep slopes, which are inaccessible areas. The coffee beans grown here are very hard and small because of the dry Arab soil and lack of moisture in the air. The elaborate irrigation system diverts the spring to a trapezoidal coffee garden surrounded by soil and low walls. All this work is done by manpower. Coffee beans are mostly sunburned on the roof or flat ground. Oddly enough, coffee drinks are not very popular in the area where coffee was first drunk, and the way coffee is made is terrible. Coffee juice is usually boiled in bean clips. Small farm farmers are more attentive to cultivating a medicinal plant called qat, because it is popular to chew quarts and neglect coffee trees. Mocha production is still limited by local political upheaval and uneconomical cultivation. Mocha coffee was named after the Yemeni mocha (Moka), the earliest coffee export port, supplying global coffee commercial transactions until the end of the 17th century.

Since people started drinking coffee, mocha has been recognized as a good coffee, with distinctive acidity, and some people think that mocha's special acidity is menacing. That's because after a hard day's work, people's sense of taste becomes dull to delicacy. The coffee itself is very fragrant. The Yemeni Moka is represented by the Mattari produced in Bani Matar. It has a sweet, smooth and unique flavor. The quality of being slightly sour and having strong stamina. Mocha is suitable for mixing with Milds coffee, especially for mixed coffee with Mysso coffee, Indonesian Java coffee and Sumatra coffee. Locals like to make Turkish coffee with a mixture of mocha and Meso. It is the most suitable coffee to drink after a meal. It is also the best of mochas.
