The coffee tree originated in Ethiopia, which was originally a wild plant here. The name "coffee" comes from the Ethiopian town of "Kaffa". In fact, many coffee trees in Ethiopia are still wild plants, and the coffee grown on this coffee tree is full-grained and slightly alcoholic. Humans may have known how to grow coffee trees as early as the 9th century, but who, how and why is still a mystery. The local legend in Ethiopia is that coffee began to be used by monks to keep a clear head when praying at night.

Today, Ethiopia is an important coffee producer, with about 12 million people engaged in coffee production and a major exporter of Arab coffee beans in Africa. The high-quality coffee here is of excellent quality and is worth looking for.

Various forms of coffee cultivation can be found in Ethiopia: everything from wild coffee forests and semi-developed land to traditionally operated plots to modern plantations. About 50% of the coffee is grown more than 1500 meters above sea level.

Harald coffee (Harrar) is the highest growing area of all coffee in Ethiopia. Harald coffee can be divided into long coffee beans and short coffee beans, of which long coffee beans are the most popular. It has a soft taste, with a special wild flavor of wine, and slightly sour taste, unforgettable after drinking. Similar to Yemeni mocha coffee, it is a high-quality coffee.

Sidamo and Djimmah in the south are also well-known coffee producers, and the coffee produced is slightly different from that produced by Hara, with a refreshing sour taste and drupe aromas. Djimmah is mainly sold under two brands: Limu and Babeka. Sidamo is sold under the brand name Yega Schiffe ((Yirgachaffe). Gemma and Sidamo coffee beans are not very attractive in appearance, but they taste good.

In particular, in Sidamo, there is a community domain name called Yirgacheffe, whose coffee has very charming features, with the aroma of jasmine and lemon, as well as the special taste as sweet as honey, so it is famous all over the world.

Why is the port of Mocha in the country of Yemen, but Ethiopian coffee is also called mocha? That's because Ethiopian coffee was previously exported from the Yemeni port of Mocha, so it is also named after mocha and subdivided by different names of origin, such as Mokhara, Mokajima and so on.

So it is also mocha coffee, it is possible that its Yemeni mocha coffee comes from Yemen, or it may come from Ethiopia Yemeni mocha coffee.
