According to the World Coffee Institute, the first archaeological evidence of beverage coffee consumption has been found in the Yemeni city of Zabid.

In the 15th century, coffee was grown in Yemen to meet local needs. In 1450, Islamic Sufi people in Yemen first began drinking coffee to stay awake during late-night prayers. This led to the transformation of hillsides into terraced slopes, and people invented agricultural techniques for growing coffee.

The love injected by darkness spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula and the Red Sea, and merchants and businessmen met all over the world.

Yemen shipped large quantities of sterile beans from the port of Mokha, drinking coffee was popular all over the world, and coffee shops were opened in Europe since 1650.

Mocha originally refers to the beans transported by the Arab port of Mocha, located in the countries of Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula. Today's pure and rare Yemeni mocha is rare. The pure mocha is rare, expensive, rich and mellow.

YEMEN MOCHA, Yemen, although, in terms of species research, coffee originated from Ethiopia, from a humanistic point of view, the introduction of coffee as a beverage to the European world took place in Yemen in Arabia. since then, coffee is equal to Yemen and Mocha.

Mocha is a commercial port, just as Brazilian coffee is exported by Santos port, so it is called Brazilian coffee with Santos. The port of Mocha, which exports coffee, has also become the general name of Yemeni coffee.

Yemen is completely different from other coffee-producing countries because of its lack of water, dry climate and poor land, which makes the coffee trees that survive in Yemen different from those grown in other large coffee countries. Compared with Arab Yemen, the climate of Central and South America is like a well-equipped greenhouse. Adverse factors lead to the decline of the Yemeni coffee industry. But also because of these factors, the flavor of Yemeni coffee shows uncontrollable primitive wildness.

Even though the Yemeni coffee industry has declined, this bean can still be seen in the boutique coffee market.

The variety of Yemeni coffee is complex, so it is generally named after the place of origin, such as Mattari,Sanani,Ismaeili,Hirazi, etc., and the official name will be preceded by Yemeni mocha, such as YEMEN MOCHA MATTARI.

Because coffee is expensive. The manual production of Yemeni coffee, the exploitation of middlemen and the high cost of transportation make coffee almost a luxury. Before 1690, there were only three coffee-growing areas in Yemen, located on steep, irrigated mountains, divided into small coffee plantations with only a few hundred farmers.

Farmers bring their own coffee beans from a nearby small coffee garden to the market to sell them all the year round. De la Roque recorded that the harvest was "irregular and irregular, so the Arabs did not know that there was a so-called harvest season". Coffee farmers bring coffee beans to the market six days a week and sell a little more coffee every day than they did the day before; when the price is low, they do not sell it. In the market, Indian businessmen and Arabs control the coffee business. The Dutch and British East India companies have had representatives in Mocha since the early 17th century, and even so, they, like de la Roque, are bought through Indian middlemen who are said to be the best bargainers. Europeans have a low commercial status because they have no political clout, and the only European goods the Yemenis want is Piast coins made of Mexican silver, which they need on the spot.
