Mocha, a port town on the seaside of Yemen Red, was the largest coffee trading area in the world from the 15th to the 17th century. at that time, most of the coffee grown in Africa was concentrated in the port of Mocha and then exported to Europe. Yemen itself also produced coffee in an ancient way and sold it to Europe, which surprised Europeans, so these delicious coffee exported from the port of Mocha were collectively called "mocha coffee". At the same time, it also has the good name of the hometown of African coffee.

The biggest feature of coffee beans sold abroad from the port of Mocha is that they are brown, black and bright, like dark chocolate, and taste like chocolate bittersweet.

However, with the evolution of the times, emerging ports have gradually replaced the status of the port of Mocha. African countries have their own coffee export ports one after another, which no longer need to rely on the port of Mocha, and the port of Mocha has retreated inland because of serious sediment deposition. As a result, the coffee trade in Mocha city gradually declined. The prosperity at that time, today, has become an ancient port that disappears in memories.

Beans and berries produced in Yemen (Peaberrybean): this coffee bean is smaller and rounder than most coffee beans and looks like peas, sometimes called mocha coffee beans. Mocha beans are similar in shape to Ethiopia's Harrar coffee beans, with small particles, high acidity and a strange and indescribable spicy flavor. Taste carefully, but also can distinguish a little chocolate flavor, so the attempt to add chocolate to coffee is a very natural process of development.

In Yemen, coffee growers plant poplars to provide shade for coffee trees to grow. As in the past, these trees are planted on steep terraces to maximize the use of less rainfall and limited land resources. In addition to the Tippika Coffee Tree and the Bourbon Coffee Tree, more than a dozen different coffee species native to Ethiopia are grown in Yemen. Authentic mocha coffee is only produced in the Republic of Yemen in the southwest of the Arabian Peninsula, grows on steep hillsides at elevations of 3, 000 to 8, 000 feet, and is the oldest coffee in the world.

Mocha coffee: the real mocha is produced in the Republic of Yemen in the southwest of the Arabian Peninsula. it grows on the steep hillside of 9-2400 meters above sea level. it is also the oldest coffee in the world. the beans of this variety are small and strong, with unique sour and citrus aromas, more fragrant and charming, with intoxicating rich aftertaste, unique aroma and soft acidity and sweetness.

Some people say that in coffee, Blue Mountain can be king and mocha can be called queen. Mocha coffee has the most unique, richest and most fascinating complex flavors in the world: red wine, wild game, dried fruit, blueberries, grapes, cinnamon, tobacco, sweet spices, log, and even chocolate. Mocha has a special taste and varied levels, like a woman's mood. When you taste it slowly, the feelings you can experience will not be repeated from beginning to end, constantly changing. The more you taste, the more you drink a glass of red wine. Someone once described it as: if Mexican coffee can be compared to your dry white wine, then the Yemeni mocha is Popildo wine.
