Yemen, located on the edge of the Arabian Peninsula, is one of the oldest civilizations in the East. In the 8th century BC, the collapse of the Malibu Dam (now located in eastern Yemen) forced a large number of local people to move to the north and settled in 23 Arabic-speaking countries throughout the Middle East and East Africa. Yemen is known as the "place of origin".

More than three hundred years ago, the port of Mocha in Yemen was the first coffee trading port in the world, and mocha coffee has been celebrated ever since. According to historical documents, coffee was first drunk in Yemen in 1450, where mysterious Sufi believers used coffee to relieve drowsiness and stay awake during overnight prayers and meditations. As followers of Islam, through regular pilgrimages to Mecca, believers eventually brought coffee all the way to Istanbul in the Ottoman Turkish Empire, where it became the site of the first cafe in world history.

Udaini- Udaini, the oldest coffee tree species in Yemen (the ancestor of Tieka and Bourbon), has been handed down. Udaini's tree is 2-4 meters tall, the coffee cherry is relatively small or flat, and the leaves are slightly drooping. Local farmers grow coffee on steep terraces with an average elevation of more than 2300 meters, and plant poplars to provide shade space for coffee seedlings to grow. Since the annual rainfall in these areas is only 400-750 mm, it is also the only coffee kingdom in the world where the whole sun is treated. Local farmers adopt the concept of non-excessive intervention and wait for the coffee fruit to ripen and naturally fall off and dry before collecting and picking. This also creates the unique wild fragrance of Yemen.

The Ruwald Cooperative, headquartered in the Haima region outside Yemen, is one of the largest boutique coffee cooperatives in Yemen, with 285 families serving it, equivalent to 2000 people growing raw coffee beans.

In 2017, the Loward Cooperatives' boutique microbatch coffee received a score of 97 on the famous coffee review website (Coffee Review), the highest score in the website's history since its inception.
