Yemen is located on the Arabian Peninsula of the Asian continent, but it is very close to Africa as long as it crosses the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. However, other Arab countries do not produce coffee, so the world classifies Yemeni coffee as a member of the North African coffee family. What is Yemeni mocha? Mocha is the export port of Yemeni coffee, because it is difficult to name all the smallest sub-producing areas in the history of coffee trade. Even if the coffee produced in these insignificant sub-producing areas is really excellent, the sun-dried beans nearby including East Africa are exported from Mocha Port to all parts of the world in the early stage. Now Mocha Port has long been silted up and disappeared. Many Isobian sun-dried beans are also named Mocha by themselves, such as the well-known Hara Mocha. I think it's because the flavor has a little bit in common with Yemeni coffee.

The correct spelling for mocha coffee should be Al-Mahka, which is the Arabic spelling, but it still ends up being the correct spelling for mocha or Mocha, regardless of some trivia about naming and spelling. Yemeni coffee is the most unique and expensive coffee in the world. The overall style is [wild] or [natural] coffee flavor and earthy complexity. For some people, it is spicy and pungent, but you must try it sometime. Among the top Yemeni coffees purchased from Direct Coffee, you will find that you love this unique coffee very much. If you also fall in love with it, it will be the beginning of a new coffee journey.

Yemen is probably the first country in the world to use coffee as a cash crop. It is said that coffee was introduced by Ethiopian pilgrims in the 6th century. Yemen's coffee culture is different from other regions. Exporters do not buy directly from farms, but from large plate dealers in the middle. The coffee received by local large plate dealers is all in pods and whole dried coffee cherries are usually stored in cellars. Yemeni coffee farmers have not suffered from trading patterns through large-scale distributors, mainly because limited local coffee cultivation land, high latitude and limited water resources make production scarce, and demand for Yemeni coffee is very high, keeping Yemeni coffee prices high.

Yemeni coffee is not easy to grow. Most farmland is planted with Qat grass, which is said to have mild refreshing effects. This plant absorbs water from the ground and breaks the underground aquifer. Growing coffee is different. I hope that changes can be made to make farmers stop growing Qat grass. But qat is dozens of times more profitable than coffee, and coffee beans can only be grown in small areas under qat if the government persuades farmers to do so. Perhaps so Yemen beans have more room for imagination.
