Yemeni mocha coffee is now famous. What kind of history does it have in the past?

Coffee spread from Ethiopia to the Middle East in the Arabian Peninsula through Yemen.

It is the most accepted coffee history in the world.

Therefore, Yemen is one of the countries of origin of coffee.

However, when the Turks occupied Yemen,

In order to monopolize the trade in the coffee market and prevent coffee from taking root in other places

Raw coffee beans are roasted before they are sold from the port of Mocha to European countries.

Yemen has developed into an important exporter of coffee.

Although Yemen is the oldest coffee exporter,

However, the local way of drinking coffee in Yemen is different from popular perception.

Coffee is generally consumed by the public by extracting coffee beans.

In Yemen, however, they choose to dry the pulp of coffee and brew it in hot water.

Because they think that coffee beans belong to a kind of hot and dry plant and are not suitable for eating too much.

The pulp of coffee is mild and its shelf life is shorter than that of coffee beans.

So choose the pulp and export the coffee beans to other countries.

In Yemen, drinks made only from sun-dried coffee pulp are called "cakes".

If you use half the coffee beans and half the dried pulp, grind it and bring it to a boil, it is called "Kava".

Kawa is undoubtedly the forerunner of coffee!
