Qianjie-introduction to Yemeni 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.

Yemeni coffee is smaller and more round than most coffee beans, with a light green color, and its shape is very similar to that of Harald or Yega Chet from Ethiopia. Yemeni coffee is characterized by its fruity flavor, spicy and nutty flavor, which some people say is the unique "wild flavor" of the Red Sea.

The price of Yemeni coffee in the international market has not been low. On the one hand, political instability has led to very few exports, and oil tycoons in Arab countries have consumed most of their exports. Yemeni coffee is favored in oil-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia, so it is left to Europe and the United States. In the international market, the price of Yemeni coffee has been high.

Drinking a cup of Yemeni coffee is a unique feeling, a journey to experience the ancient history of coffee, and a pilgrimage to a country's culture and traditional craftsmanship. Now, Yemeni coffee is also transforming, growing and changing, especially when legends like Mokhtar have brought Yemeni coffee back to life, persisting in a catastrophic civil war and upheaval, and the unresolved political situation has shaped Yemeni coffee and even the future of Yemen.
