Yemeni coffee beans. Also known as Yemeni mocha beans. It was once praised as a gift from Allah. Precisely because the original coffee trade was exported from the Yemeni port of Mocha, many people mistakenly think that Yemen is the birthplace of coffee. Up to now, some Europeans are still used to calling coffee beans mocha beans.

Since the 17th century, the dry Arabian soil and lack of moisture in the air, the coffee beans grown here are particularly dry, hard and thin. Mocha bean production has been limited by local political unrest and uneconomical cultivation. Among them, the Yemeni mocha is the most famous in Yemen. It is also the highest coffee producing area, located in the Bani Matar to the west of the capital Sana'a. The shape of the bean is slender and the flavor is strong and thick. With obvious red wine-like fermented fruit aromas. The Mattari produced in Bani Matar is representative and has sweet taste. Unique smooth aroma and taste. Slightly sour and strong aftereffect, I think it is the most suitable coffee to drink after a meal, and it is also the best in mocha.

Due to the rugged terrain of Yemen, it is difficult to grow coffee beans. And there is little rainfall, so Yemeni coffee farmers choose terraces or lowlands to grow, and choose areas that are not easily exposed to the sun, while Yemeni farmers are mostly poor. Therefore, there is no money to buy and use pesticides, almost all of them are cultivated naturally and organically.

Yemeni coffee beans are mostly grown organically, but they are actually grown in the open space around the backyard of farmers' homes. Coffee beans are harvested and dried in the sun (many are on the roofs of farmhouses); there are also fruits that are directly air-dried on trees (floating) and the dried fruits are shelled by stone mill (animal power to pull stone mill).

Planting and treatment of coffee beans in Yemen. Almost subverts the method of general boutique beans, the finished product of Yemeni coffee beans looks inconspicuous, you will see worm boiled beans, shell beans, broken beans and many other defective beans, but the brewed coffee is excellent. The taste is very wild and amazing, with red wine to fermented fruit aromas. Medium size, slightly sweet and bitter chocolate flavor, with slightly sour red wine and fermented sweetness of pulp.

The conclusion is that Yemeni coffee beans do not win by appearance, but their flavor is unique. In addition. Yemeni coffee beans are also known as "super coffee beans" because of their low caffeine content.
