Introduction to Yemen Coffee

For coffee enthusiasts with some knowledge, mentioning Yemen coffee easily brings to mind "Mocha coffee beans."

Yemen has a very long history of coffee cultivation. By the early 17th century, Yemen's coffee beans began to be exported from the southwestern port of Mocha to Europe. Europeans called these coffee beans shipped from Mocha Port "Mocha coffee." Ethiopia, which faces Yemen across the Red Sea, later also used Mocha Port to export coffee beans, so that Ethiopian coffee beans processed by natural drying method are also often regarded as Mocha.

Yemen's coffee cultivation methods remain almost the same as they were 500 years ago, with almost all coffee grown on mountain slopes ranging from 3,000 to 7,000 feet high. Due to scarce rainfall, coffee trees must rely on their strong water retention capacity to survive drought periods. The harsh growing conditions result in smaller coffee beans, but they are quite hard. Yemen's coffee varieties are also quite complex, with recognized small-seed varieties such as Ismaili and ancient heirloom, as well as Adeni and Mattari varieties.

Yemen coffee is naturally processed. After harvesting, the fruits are usually spread on courtyards or rooftops for sun drying. Some are even allowed to dry directly on the tree before harvesting (this method is called floating).

The dried fruits must be ground to remove the hull. Today, Yemen still retains the ancient method of stone grinding for hull removal, with the stone grinders powered by camels or donkeys.

Yemen has many coffee-producing regions, with Mattari from Bani Matar (Bany Mattar) province being the most famous, and also the highest quality among Yemen's exported coffee.

The early Mocha Port, which shouldered the heavy responsibility of export, had many names and spellings, such as Mocha, Mokka, Moca, Moka, Al-Mocha, Al-Makha, etc. Mocha Port was later abandoned due to sedimentation, and exports are now handled by Aden Port in the east and Hodeida Port in the north.

Yemen, located by the Red Sea, is an ancient Arab country. From ancient times to the present, Yemen coffee's entire process from planting, cultivation to processing completely relies on manual labor. The coffee beans are naturally dried under sunlight, making them small and firm. Originating from the city of Muke in Yemen, Yemen coffee is known as Mocha coffee. Yemen coffee is a traditional premium coffee with a special, clear taste, with a slight fermented flavor and natural acidity.
