Qianjie-introduction of Yemeni Moka varieties

In fact, Yemeni coffee is named Moqado from the port called Mocha in Yemen, because Yemen is the first country to commercialize coffee cultivation, and Yemeni coffee is exported from the port of Mocha (port of Al-Mokha) to the world, so people gradually call the coffee from all over Yemen "Mocha", but this general name is not the real variety name of Yemeni coffee.

For a long time, Yemeni coffee was actually named after the producing area, such as the occasional Mattari from the Bani Mattar region of Yemen and Ismaeli from the Haraaz region, but today many other place names have been gradually forgotten.

Mocha gets its name from the famous port of Mocha. In the 15th century, the outward transportation industry of the whole coffee country in Central and East Africa did not flourish. Yemeni Mocha was a major commercial port near the Red Sea at that time. At that time, coffee was mainly concentrated in the port of Mocha and then exported to Africa, which was collectively called mocha coffee. Although the emerging port replaced the status of the port of Mocha, the origin of the mocha coffee remained during the period of the port of Mocha. the coffee beans produced by these areas, still known as mocha coffee beans, came from Ethiopia.

Mocha is known for its unique, richest and most fascinating complex flavors in the world: red wine, wild game, dried fruit, grapes, cinnamon, blueberries, tobacco, logs, sweet spices, and even chocolate. The taste is special and the level is varied.

Real mocha beans are grown in the Republic of Yemen in the southwest of the Arabian Peninsula and grow on steep hillsides at an altitude of 900 to 2400 meters. At present, the coffee beans produced in Yemen are the best, followed by Ethiopia's Mocha.

Mocha beans are small and have a strong aroma, with unique sour and citrus aromas. And mellow with intoxicating rich aftertaste, unique aroma and soft sour, sweet taste. The sweetness is excellent and the flavor is unique.
