The word coffee originated from the ancient tribal society. Before Islam, it was one of the names of "wine". In the ancient dictionary "Arab al-'Arab", the word means "wine", and its root "loss of appetite" means "loss of appetite".

Coffee originated in Ethiopia, which is located in the East African Plateau, where high-end Karabica hand-dried coffee beans, named after Gudu Hara, have been produced here for nearly 2000 years.

It is said that the place where Europeans imported coffee for the first time in the 17th century and spread to the world was the world's largest coffee port, the port of Mocha.

More than 1500 years ago, coffee trees were introduced to Yemen on the other side of the Red Sea, thus embarking on a world tour of coffee beans. Yemeni coffee is exported from the port of Mocha (now silted and abandoned) to all parts of the world (mainly sold to Europe through Turkey). So Yemeni coffee gets its name from the export port, which is what we often see today as "mocha beans".

Mocha beans are native to Ethiopia, and Yemen was called Arabian until the 6th century in the park, so coffee trees shipped from them to other places were also called Arabian coffee trees. Yemen is the first country in the world to produce coffee on a large scale as a crop. The method of cultivation and treatment of mocha coffee in Yemen today is basically the same as that of hundreds of years ago.

On most coffee farms in Yemen, coffee farmers still resist the use of artificial chemicals such as chemical fertilizers, and as in the past, the trees are planted on steep terraces in order to maximize the use of less rainfall and limited land resources. What is more unique is that Yemeni mocha beans are still shipped in a bag made of straw, rather than chemical woven bags in other places.

Beans are small and fragrant, with strong sour and mellow taste, slightly alcoholic flavor, spicy stimulation, moderate sweetness and special flavor. It is a well-known high-quality coffee, usually drunk individually.

At present, the coffee produced in Yemen is the best, followed by Ethiopia's mocha; mocha coffee belt smooth in the acid is extremely sour, sweet, unique flavor, containing chocolate flavor; with the temperament of a lady, is a very characteristic pure coffee.

Mocha (Mocca) because the bean shape is very small, also known as small mocha, small mocha in Central and South America is not only small beans, but also low yield, generally small mocha beans in about 10 to 11 mesh, that is, beans between 0.39cm to 0.43cm, which is much smaller than the general 18-purpose Central American beans, beans 0.7cm, much smaller. Notice that the little mocha has a flat surface, that is, a fruit contains two raw beans. Of course, small mochas also have small round beans, but the proportion is only 2%, which is much lower than the 5% to 10% of the average Arabica.
