Udaini Udaini:

Main varieties of Yemeni coffee

Antiquity / spread

It is precisely because of this general name or place name, masking the variety of coffee behind. In 1993, scholar Ali made a report on the research and classification of Yemeni coffee. In the report, he collected and sorted out the varieties of coffee in Yemen. At present, there are four main varieties of coffee in Yemen, namely Udaini (Udaini), Dawairi, Tufahi and Burra'i.

Even in later studies, some scholars have suggested that there is even a fifth or sixth coffee variety in Yemen. But in many subsequent studies, scholars basically identified Udaini as the most common and oldest variety in Yemen. Thus it can be seen that the coffee seeds that spread from Yemen to all parts of the world were most likely to be Udaini.

The ancient variety of tin card

Yemeni coffee varieties are mainly Udaini, so which category of coffee do these four Yemeni varieties belong to? In Arabica gene research, scholars successfully found Yemeni coffee (Anthony, F., Combes, M., Astorga, C. et al) by comparing the genes of four Yemeni varieties with those of various native species from Africa. Theor Appl Genet, 2002) belongs to the category, in fact, the main varieties of coffee in Yemen are from the ancient tin card varieties.

A variety of data show that the saying of Yemeni mocha is only a long-standing general name, the real variety of Yemeni coffee is actually Udaini (Udaini) and other four major varieties.
