Introduction of Yemeni coffee

Yemeni coffee originated from Arabian coffee trees hundreds of years ago, all of which are produced in areas above 3000 feet above sea level. For hundreds of years, the unique planting and production methods of Yemeni coffee have remained almost unchanged. The seedlings of Yemeni coffee trees are first cultivated in nurseries and then transplanted to high elevations. Pesticides and fertilizers are not used in the breeding process. Mature coffee beans are naturally air-dried on coffee trees, shelled with stone grinders and then washed by repeated manual grain selection. The shape of the coffee beans is regular, the size is uniform, the color can range from light green to yellowish brown, and the aroma is rich and long-lasting. The high-quality coffee, whether drunk alone or mixed, is meaningful, refreshing and has an endless aftertaste.

Moha is a small seaport on the red sea in the south of Yemen. for hundreds of years, most of the famous Yemeni coffee is exported to all countries of the world, so Yemeni coffee is gradually named after Moha. For many years, Yemeni Moha coffee has been regarded as the best coffee in the world, and its excellent quality has always been praised by the world. Moha coffee was first exported to Europe and then became popular in neighboring countries. Saudi Arabia is said to like Moha coffee in Yemen in particular, and the Saudis are willing to pay a high price even if they know it is of slightly lower quality. Today, almost all Arab regions and even India export coffee in the name of Moha. In fact, Yemen is the real origin of the world-famous Moha coffee.

There are many varieties of Yemeni coffee, most of which are named after their origin and type, with different flavors, such as fresh wood, tobacco, musk, fruit wine, roasted nuts, cocoa and warm seasonings, especially Moha coffee. At present, Yemeni Moha coffee is the most famous Yemeni Moha coffee on the market, such as Isemary, Matari, Sanani and so on. Sanani coffee has medium bean size and fruit wine flavor. Produced in Sana'an and surrounding areas Matari coffee originates from and around Mattar in the west of Sana 'a. it is the best-known moha coffee with unique flavor. Coffee beans have chocolate color, complete grain shape, fruit wine and seasoning flavor. Isimarie coffee is the rarest variety of Moha coffee, produced in the highest altitude of Yemen, the output is very limited, the price is expensive, but there are fruit wine, spices, nuts, malt and other flavors, the quality is higher than the Matari and Sanani coffee, is the best coffee in the world. In addition, Xilazi and Zamarni are also famous coffee brands, which are produced in the high mountains along the Sana'a-Hodeida highway and in the Zamar region.

Yemeni Moha coffee beans are small and heavy, which is an important feature that distinguishes coffee from Caribbean and Ethiopian coffee.

In recent years, due to the deterioration of natural conditions and man-made reasons, such as water shortage and the occupation of resources planted by Carter, the development of Yemeni coffee industry is relatively slow. How to further consolidate and develop the coffee planting industry and reshape the glory of Yemeni coffee in history is an important issue for the development of Yemeni agriculture.
