A brief introduction to the history and culture of the origin and development of Yemeni boutique coffee beans with complete grain shape

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.

Because the steep slopes, valleys and depressions that can be planted in the mountains are very narrow, coffee farmers adopt distributed cultivation and plant a few plants whenever there is a suitable place, regardless of wild forests, cliffs or barren valleys. Experts pointed out that the diversity of the planting environment and the diversity of microclimate have created the ever-changing aroma and acid of Yemeni coffee. Some people laugh that there are no two beans with the same taste in the same sack of Yemeni coffee, which can be called "game" boutique coffee.

This is because Yemeni coffee is scattered among cliffs, vertical valleys, depressions, fields, terraces, plateaus and mountains, and even the same varieties will give birth to different fragrant elves due to different microclimate and soil quality, not to mention the wide variety of Yemeni coffee. Seasoned Yemeni coffee farmers can tell the variety and flavor of coffee from which hills, steep slopes, terraces, villages or areas the coffee comes from. In contrast, the monotonous flavor created by soil and water can not be compared with the single landform planted on a large scale in Brazil on the same plain or hill.

Yemeni dry lack of water, coffee beans are also relatively small, bean color is light green or yellowish. After the farmers harvest the red fruit, they put it on the roof of the farmhouse and expose it to the sun for two to three weeks to let the coffee fruit dry and hard.

During this time, the pulp essence will seep into the beans in the pods to increase the flavor. For about three to six weeks, depending on the dry and hard condition of the fruit, farmers use a traditional grindstone to crush the hard pulp and pods and take out the coffee beans (Yemeni coffee is often damaged or missing, which is caused by the grindstone, in addition to its smaller grains). In addition, Yemeni beans are also harder and brittle than ordinary coffee beans, and the collision in the handling process will also cause bean body breakage or defects, so the work of picking beans before baking can not be omitted, be sure to pick out these broken beans, so as not to deteriorate and affect the flavor.

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. 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 most famous for Isemary, Matari, Sanani and other varieties on the market. Sanani coffee has medium-sized beans and fruit wine flavor, produced from 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.
