When it comes to the source of coffee, everyone can think of it coming from Ethiopia. But the origin of coffee as a drink and transported around the world is from Yemen in the Arabian Peninsula!

With regard to the origin of coffee, it is generally believed to be Yemen or Ethiopia. Although coffee appears to be a plant in Ethiopia, coffee as a drink has long appeared in Yemen.

The history of coffee can be traced back centuries, and going back to its roots means investigating through vague records and legendary stories. However, we know that Sufi monks in Yemen began to drink coffee in the 15th century, 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.

However, great things seldom sneak into the world and are rarely ignored. Yemeni coffee will soon become an important factor in economic, historical and cultural transformation, and it still has a far-reaching impact around the world.

The history of coffee focuses on the development and changes of trade, social interaction and religious belief. Coffee shops have sprung up because of coffee consumption, and even Muslim monks seem to be surrounded by the aroma of coffee when they pray because of the coffee trade. However, the impact of coffee is not always positive. Yemeni coffee was once banned and even became the target of war looting.

Yemen is the first station after coffee leaves Ethiopia. Because coffee beans are collected and distributed from the port of Mocha, the Yemeni mocha beans are so named that the drink of coffee + chocolate sauce is also called mocha. Because of the war in the region, Houthi forces have taken control of Yemen, including recent drone strikes on Saudi oil fields, which has greatly reduced global crude oil production. In this environment, Yemeni coffee beans are not easy to transport. Yemen is one of the first countries in the world to grow coffee. It is located at the southwest end of the Arabian Peninsula, bordering Saudi Arabia and Oman, and bordering the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea.

For decades, coffee industry insiders have complained about declining quality, low traceability and strange quality defects in Yemeni coffee. But most people also know that a good cup of Yemeni Udaini can turn people who don't like coffee into a third wave of coffee followers.

Now, since the advent of boutique coffee, the United States will import some high-quality Yemeni coffee beans into China as boutique coffee. Yemeni coffee is now hailed as one of the best varieties in the world and recognized by the industry, bringing positive headlines to the war-torn country.
