Learn how Yemen’s historic Mocha coffee got its name, what makes Mattari and Sanani distinct, and why it’s still prized today.

When you hear the word 'Mocha,' do you think of a chocolatey coffee drink, a type of coffee bean, or an old-school brewing device? The truth is, all three meanings trace back to one place: Yemen. More than a thousand years ago, coffee made its global journey not from Ethiopia—but from Yemen, where the first coffee trees outside their native highlands were cultivated. Yemen’s coffee trade defined early global coffee culture, and its legacy lives on in every cup of Yemen Mocha you sip today.
