Yemeni Coffee Madali Mocha (Yemen Matari Mocha)

"Mocha,Moka,Moca,Mocca" is so famous that instant coffee used to be named after it. Starbucks' best-selling drinks also have many items that contain the word mocha. But what exactly is mocha? Why do people love to use it so much?

It turns out that mocha is a former port in Yemen, where most of the coffee is exported, so mocha is actually synonymous with Yemeni coffee in the past. Yemen is located in the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, the natural environment is very different from other coffee-producing countries, not only lack of water, dry, land is also poor. There are not many places in the Arabian Peninsula where coffee beans can be grown, or it can be said that mocha is synonymous with Arabian coffee.

Nowadays, the sun-tanned coffee beans in the Hara region of Ethiopia are also exported in the name of mocha. Why? Because it tastes like it. Friends who are familiar with the producing areas may know that Yemenmoka is relatively thick, which is quite different. Mocha coffee is characterized by its rich chocolate aroma, which was rare at that time. The combination of coffee and chocolate can be said to be a match made in heaven, which may be why Mocha is so famous.

Yemeni coffee production is still low, mostly wild, and the treatment is also a traditional sunburn (as you know, because of the lack of water). In this context, the quality of coffee beans must be unstable, and it is challenging to master the taste of this bean. Some friends advised me not to waste time on this bean, because the bean looks so bad, it takes a lot of time to pick the beans, and the fried taste is not necessarily pleasant. However, just "Yemen" and "mocha" are too easy to make people reverie, how can they not try?

Flavors such as berries, dried fruits, dried longan, as well as tobacco and smoky aftertaste

As long as Yemeni coffee is immediately reminiscent of thick and wild sun beans, coffee farmers in Yemeni have been planting according to the ancient methods handed down by their ancestors, because Yemeni coffee farmers are not easy to grow and have little rainfall. Therefore, Yemeni coffee farmers choose terraces or lowlands for planting, and choose areas that are not easily exposed to strong sun exposure, while most Yemeni farmers are poor and cannot use pesticides. Almost all of them are cultivated naturally and organically.

Madali is the most famous coffee bean in Yemen. It is located in the Bani Matari to the west of the capital Sana'a. It has a strong, thick flavor with obvious berry aromas.
