Mellow Coffee Tour: the country of Mocha Coffee-Yemen

The Yemeni Mocha Ethiopian Mocha has the same chocolate flavor, but the Yemeni Mocha is more wild and natural. A good Yemeni mocha can fully satisfy the "rich taste", "fresh aroma", "smooth", "sweet", "sweet and long aftertaste" that we want. And the persistent smell of red wine in the aftertaste is also a major feature, of course, the Yemeni mocha that coffee enthusiasts enjoy is not necessarily favored by light tastes because of its strong personality and wild and full-bodied taste.

Due to low production and less coffee cultivation, Yemeni mocha is becoming more and more popular, and it is difficult to taste authentic Yemeni mocha in ordinary cafes.

In addition to coffee, there is a special coffee drink in this coffee country: Qishr, which is called ginger coffee in Chinese. It is a drink made from dried coffee peel, sometimes with cinnamon, sugar, ginger slices and so on.

Whether for coffee enthusiasts, entry-level enthusiasts or even the general public, "mocha" is a familiar word. The sweetness and smoothness of the coffee mocha, the chocolate smell of the Ethiopian mocha, the wildness of the Yemeni mocha, the mocha pot for brewing coffee, and even a kind of bread with chocolate and coffee is called mocha bread. With so many "mochas", what exactly is "motorcycle" and what is "card"? Now we will follow the whereabouts of Mocha to trace the original kingdom of Mocha.

The word mocha first emerged in Europe in the 16th and 17th century, because coffee imported from the Arab world was transported from the port of Mocha in Yemen, so at first people used "mocha" as a synonym for coffee, so until the invention of the mocha pot in the 20th century, people took it for granted that this kind of coffee brewing apparatus was called "mocha pot". As for Ethiopian mocha and Yemeni mocha, it is also easy to distinguish: Yemeni coffee was imported from Ethiopia and still retains the same native species as Ethiopia. So later, in order to facilitate the distinction between Yemeni and Ethiopian coffee, the coffee produced in Yemen and Ethiopia were called "Yemeni mocha" and "Ethiopian mocha" respectively. One of the biggest flavors of mocha coffee is its strong chocolate flavor, so later some barista cleverly added cream and chocolate to the coffee-- this is the classic fancy coffee-- the birth of coffee mocha.

After a long list of words, we finally figured out what is "Mo" and what is "card", and found the real country of Mocha-Yemen.

The low profile of the Yemeni Mocha, just as it is hidden in the countries of West Asia in North Africa, is full of dry Gobi and deserts, which are located along the Red Sea coast but still retain the most complete Arab traditions. Such geography and environment have created a Yemeni mocha with a full personality. The coffee here grows in arid mountains and does not apply any chemical fertilizers or pesticides at all. Some farmers even let the coffee fruit be picked after drying on the trees.
