When Incht launched its own manor auction in 2011, Little Mocha set a high price of $211.5 / lb for coffee. People flocked to Mocha, a rare and ancient variety, and unexpectedly sold it for a whopping $500.5 / lb in 2012. (the historical price of Panamanian Emerald Manor is $350 / lb.) in 2015, the mocha of Incht Manor was bid for more than US $300 a pound by Europeans in Taiwan, and the total quantity was only 40 pounds that year. According to news reports, these coffees are not for sale and are only left for old customers and good friends to taste. That is why we say that it is a rare opportunity to taste different manor bidding grade coffee, especially all the bidding lots of that year.

Before introducing the famous Incht Manor in Guatemala, let's talk about the variety of Mocha.

In the early days, Yemeni coffee was mainly exported from the port of Mocha, so the coffee exported from here later took Mocha as its name. The coffee beans produced in Yemen belong to Arabica. Generally speaking, mocha beans are smaller than ordinary coffee beans and look very different from other coffee beans with large grains (see below for a comparison of the size of different varieties of beans). However, although the mocha is small, it contains distinctive features, especially the distinct fruit acid is often used to enhance the flavor in the mixed coffee. No wonder it is compared to the red wine in the coffee, with a special aftertaste of aroma and acidity. The name Mocha can be written in several ways, "Mocca", "Mocha", "Moka", "Mokha". Wait, but they all mean the same thing. Mocha beans are especially pronounced in deep roasting because of their unique chocolate flavor. Mocha coffee has its unique aroma and soft sour taste, mellow taste, also known as the coffee queen. This coffee is produced in Yemen, which is located in the western Arabian Peninsula of the Middle East. Coffee production has a long history, although mocha coffee is famous near and far, it has become a headache in Yemen due to the outflow of labor force and the shortage of domestic labor force in recent years. At this year's coffee exhibition, we saw that the mocha coffee displayed by Yemeni manufacturers is really very small. Each package is packed into a sample package of about 200g. The beans are fresh and not very beautiful. We can see that there are some defective beans, but there is no information on the packaging.

The small mocha beans in Incht Manor are very small, with a width of 0.39 to 0.43 centimeters, which is a mutant of mocha species. Because the tree is small, the trunk is thin, it is easy to be blown down by the wind, the planting failure rate is high, and the yield is very low, so it only bids once a year. In the first few years of bidding, it was only 40 pounds a year, but it was rare to launch 200 pounds last year.

Introduction to the bidding for small Mocha at Incht Manor in 2016:

This is an introduction to the smallest coffee beans, and they use a special method of picking, because it takes a long time to harvest a whole basket, and it is based on daily wages rather than volume. In addition, the most mature coffee fruits must be harvested, so each coffee tree has to be picked eight times. In the aspect of post-production, a peeling machine with very small rubber teeth should be used when peeling, and hand washing should be carried out when washing, because there is no suitable machine to be used in small mochas. The drying is carried out on an African-style bedstead. Finally, when shelling, you have to use a sample sheller in order to meet the characteristics of the bean.

Flavor: cocoa is mixed with spices, cloves and sweetness on the palate, with a pleasant orange peel finish.
