Introduction of mocha coffee beans, what's the difference between mocha and mocha coffee beans, and how does mocha do it?

Yemen mocha coffee beans

Yemen is the first place where coffee can be extended to the world. Yemen and Ethiopia are separated from the Strait of Mande, and coffee was used only as medicine in Africa in the early days. Later, Shadiri, the Islamic godfather of Mocha in Yemen, was influenced by the tea culture of the Ming Dynasty in China, and then developed coffee into a refreshing drink. Because of the prohibition culture of Islam, the emergence of coffee drinks and people's daily condiments, they are naturally very popular.

Mocha coffee is popular because of its chocolate taste, so many people assimilate mocha with chocolate. Strictly speaking, mocha beans are coffee beans with a strong chocolate flavor. At that time, Yemeni coffee beans were exported through the port of Mocha, and in order to unify the name, they were all named after the port, which is the origin of mocha coffee beans. Even though the port of Mocha is now closed because of sediment deposition, coffee beans exported from Yemen still use the name Mocha.

Unfortunately, Yemeni coffee culture is no longer as prosperous as it was then, and there are many reasons for this phenomenon, including serious natural disasters, drought and insect pests, high planting costs and cheap imported coffee. Farmers prefer to plant profitable katgrass (a plant grass that is drunk as tea and grows in an environment similar to coffee trees, but the harvest time is shorter than coffee trees), and many reasons contribute to the current situation of coffee in Yemen.

What does mocha coffee mean?

In fact, the early mocha coffee refers to mocha coffee beans, that is, coffee beans exported by Yemen through the port of Mocha. Mocha coffee beans are small and fragrant, with strong sour and mellow taste, moderate sweetness, special flavor and strong chocolate flavor. Italian mocha coffee dates back to Italy in the 18th century, when mocha beans were scarce in Europe because the port of Mocha was under the control of the Ottoman Empire, so some people tried to add chocolate powder to the coffee to imitate the flavor of mocha coffee. With the advent of espresso machines and the popularity of espresso around the world, mocha coffee made with chocolate is also popular.
