Yemen coffee originated from Arabic coffee trees hundreds of years ago, all of which were produced at an altitude of more than 3000 feet. For hundreds of years, the unique planting and production methods of Yemen coffee have almost remained unchanged. The seedlings of coffee trees are first cultivated in nurseries and then transplanted to high altitudes. No pesticides and fertilizers are used in the breeding process. The mature coffee beans are naturally air-dried on coffee trees, shelled by stone mills and then manually selected and washed repeatedly. The coffee beans obtained are regular in shape and uniform in size. Colors range from light green to tan, and the aroma is rich and long-lasting. The quality coffee made, whether drunk alone or mixed, is interesting and refreshing, giving people an endless aftertaste.

Moha is a small seaport on the Red Sea in southern Yemen. Most of the famous Yemeni coffee has been exported to countries all over the world through this place for hundreds of years. Therefore, Yemeni coffee has gradually been named Moha. For many years, Yemen Moha coffee has been regarded as the best coffee in the world, and its excellent quality has always been praised by the world. Mocha coffee was first exported to Europe, and then gradually became popular in neighboring countries. It is said that Saudi Arabia especially likes Yemeni mocha coffee. Even if it is of slightly inferior quality, Saudis are willing to pay a high price for it. Now, almost all coffee exported from Arabia and even India is named mocha. In fact, Yemen is the real origin of the world-famous mocha coffee.

Yemeni coffee has many varieties, mostly named according to its origin and type, with different flavors, such as fresh wood, tobacco, musk, fruit wine, roasted nuts, cocoa and warm seasonings. Moha coffee is especially so. At present, Yemen moha coffee is most famous in the market, such as Ismaili, Matari, Sanani and other varieties.

Yemeni moha coffee beans are small and heavy, which is an important feature that distinguishes them 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 Carter planting resources, Yemen coffee industry has developed slowly. How to further consolidate and develop coffee planting industry and rebuild Yemen coffee's glory in history is an important issue facing Yemen's agricultural development.
