Yemeni coffee

In the 15th century, Sufi monks in Yemen began to drink coffee, and they grew and produced coffee for trade. Over time, Yemenis take advantage of Yemen's special climate and terrain to produce unique and delicious coffee.

Modern mocha coffee

Coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia, followed by Ethiopia's neighbor Yemen, which began to produce coffee with unique flavor with its unique microclimate and high altitude location. Yemen is the first country in the world to produce coffee on a large scale as a crop. The native variety of Yemeni coffee is called Udaini (Udaini), which is an ancient tin card variety, which is very similar to Rosa.

Since the 16th century, in the following 150 years, Yemen was once the only producer of coffee beans in the world, and all coffee was exported across the Red Sea through the port of Mocha, so mocha coffee was a vague feeling. Basically, East African and Yemeni coffee from the Red Sea to the Arabian Sea was called mocha coffee, which awakened this remote port, under the protection of the Ottoman Empire. Yemen carefully manages its caffeine products, insisting on not selling live coffee trees and seeds, establishing a global coffee monopoly market.
