Yemeni Coffee Origin introduces Yemeni Coffee aroma Yemeni Coffee Tree species

Yemen-a coffee producing area with a long history

Name of country: Republic of Yemen

Land area: about 528000 square kilometers

National population: about 25 million

Climate: most parts of Yemen are powerful during the day, cool at night, and have a large temperature difference between day and night, but there are some exceptions.

Coffee cultivation in Yemen has a long history, and Yemenis believe that coffee originated in Yemen. Because the port of Mocha used to be the export port of coffee, Yemeni coffee is often called mocha coffee. The coffee beans produced in Yemen also contain strong chocolate flavor, and then "mocha Coffee" developed into coffee with chocolate sauce, which is later.

Coffee is an important agricultural product for export in Yemen, but Yemenis are not in the habit of drinking coffee. Yemenis boil coffee shells with cardamom or ginger, a drink known as Kahawa, which is loved by locals.

[variety]

Yemen retains the old coffee varieties brought from Ethiopia and has become an inherent variety in Yemen. These original trees in Yemen are all Arabica species, and there is no trend to replace new ones in recent years.

[cultivation]

Yemeni coffee is mainly grown in terraces on the slopes of canyons in a dry area known by locals as "Wadi", which is located 1500 meters above sea level in the mountains and canyons, and the weather is dry outside the rainy season.

October to December is the main harvest season for Yemeni coffee every year.

[fragrance]

Yemeni coffee is preserved under the condition of high water content, so screening and packing at the export port with high temperature and humidity will adversely affect the flavor of raw coffee beans.

High-quality new coffee beans, with aromas of fruit, pepper and red wine, can also be judged by the aroma.
