Although the wave of fine goods is the revival of "technology replacing machinery", the market is still inseparable from what dominates supply and demand. Operators will express different styles of coffee in different ways, and farmers will also develop special treatments in response to market trends. But there is one country that has produced coffee in the most primitive way since the sixth century, and that is Yemen.

Mocha Shanani (Mokha San'ani)

A wide market name for coffee from some growing areas west of the Yemeni capital Sana'a. It is a mixed bean from tens of thousands of small farms on the hillside near the capital San'a. Planted at a slightly lower altitude than Matali, generally speaking, it tastes thinner and less acidic, but it has a good fruit flavor and often has better ripe fruit and wild game than Matali. According to my experience, the quality of Sanani varies greatly in recent years, and sometimes there are inferior goods with flat flavor, fishy smell and excessive fermented flavor. Careful cup testing and selection is a must for coffee makers to do their homework and must not be lazy.
