The hometown of coffee is Ethiopia, but it was medieval Yemen that helped coffee reach out to the world and become an essential drink for everyone every day.

According to the World Coffee Research Organization (WCR) historical records, coffee appeared as a drink for the first time in human history, in the Yemeni city of Zabid.

In the 15th century, in order to meet the consumption needs of local people, Yemenis began to grow their own coffee. In 1450, Sufi believers in Yemen began to drink coffee before praying every night to keep a clear head. It was in Yemen that coffee cultivation technology was first invented in the mountains.

This magical black drink immediately became popular throughout the Arabian Peninsula and the Red Sea, and businessmen from all over the world rushed to buy it.

It is said that the Yemeni coffee grown with traditional technology and without any chemicals is very rich and mellow, with charming sour red wine.

Greeney said that the unique taste of Yemeni coffee comes from its special drying process, which is the oldest, most direct and most organic method of tanning.

After picking, the coffee fruit is placed in the sun to dry. Once the appearance hardens, the fruit begins to shrink and the color becomes dark brown or black. After that, people will peel off the hard shell by hand and take out the coffee beans.

It is believed that this drying process gives the coffee a sweet and fruity aroma.

Mocha coffee has a complex taste, with a strong earthy flavor and unique taste characteristics.

"the variety of coffee beans growing in Yemen is very rich and worthy of our in-depth study, some of which grow only in this area, and their unique taste makes Yemeni coffee unreplicable."

According to WCR, Arabica coffee originated in Ethiopia, but the bourbon gene in Arabica coffee comes from Mokha. Bourbon coffee is famous for its deep taste and buttery chocolate-like taste, full of sweetness and fruity flavor.

Although coffee is produced in Yemen, no conclusive evidence has been found to prove the origin of the word "Mocha". The only explanation is that mocha coffee has a strong chocolate flavor, and thus won the title of "mocha".

Mocha, a port city on the Red Sea coast of Yemen. From the 15th century to the 17th century, Mocha was the largest coffee trade center in the world. Later, new coffee growing areas were developed, and the coffee trade in the city gradually declined. Today, the term mocha coffee beans refers to coffee beans with some chocolate flavor. In English, cafe mocca (mocha coffee), which refers to coffee mixed with chocolate and cappuccino, has become the main variety of coffee drinks.
