Yemen's National Emblem and Mocha Port

Yemen's national emblem consists of an eagle and a national flag. The eagle symbolizes strength, and the shield on the eagle's chest depicts the famous Marib Dam and coffee trees. The ribbon bears the Arabic inscription "Republic of Yemen."

Mocha is a port in the Republic of Yemen in Arabia, and people collectively refer to coffee produced in the Arabian region as Mocha coffee.

Coffee Cultivation and Processing Methods

Yemen is the first country in the world to produce coffee as an agricultural crop on a large scale. Today's Yemen Mocha coffee cultivation and processing methods are basically the same as those used hundreds of years ago. In most Yemeni coffee farms, farmers still resist the use of artificial chemical products such as chemical fertilizers. These trees are planted on steep terraces to maximize the use of limited rainfall and land resources.

Even more distinctive is that Yemen Mocha coffee beans are still packed in straw-woven bags for transport, unlike the chemical woven bags used elsewhere.

Mocha Coffee Beans

Yemen-Mocha possesses the world's most unique, rich, and fascinating complex flavors: wine aroma, wildness, dried fruit notes, blueberry, grape, cinnamon, tobacco, sweet spices, woody notes, and even chocolate. You can see various adjectives used to describe Yemen Mocha coffee...

Mocha coffee beans are smaller and rounder than most coffee beans, showing a light green color, which makes Mocha coffee beans look more like peas. They are small in size, high in acidity, and mixed with a strange and indescribable spicy flavor. With careful tasting, you can also discern a hint of chocolate, so the attempt to add chocolate to coffee was a natural development process.

Deep-roasted Yemeni coffee often reveals chocolate-like bittersweet notes, influencing today's chocolate-flavored coffee drinks that are also labeled with the term "Mocha." Only genuine Yemeni coffee qualifies to be called "Mocha coffee."

Authentic "Mocha coffee" is produced only in the Republic of Yemen on the southwestern Arabian Peninsula, growing on steep mountain slopes at altitudes of three to eight thousand feet. It is also the world's oldest coffee. The delicious coffee shipped from Mocha Port was called "Mocha coffee," which is the origin of the term "Mocha coffee."

Coffee Berry Processing Method

Coffee berries grow naturally on trees without any artificial fertilizers and pesticides. They receive moisture from the small amount of rain and fog on the mountain slopes in summer, flower and bear fruit, and in the dry winter, mature coffee berries are allowed to hang on the trees to dry naturally - this is a very unique and rare practice.

Ripe or dried coffee berries naturally fall from the trees, or are shaken down and picked. The fleshy berries are spread out to dry on house roofs, in front of houses in low sheds, or even directly spread on the mud ground, receiving exposure to the fierce dry winter sun. After the peel and pulp are dried, old-fashioned stone mills (two stone mills stacked together) are used to grind away the dried hard shells and pulp, and the coffee beans are processed this way. Did you know? The Yemeni coffee you drink today is basically not very different from the "Arabian coffee" enjoyed by European nobility and merchants hundreds of years ago in Europe's oldest cafes in St. Mark's Square in Venice, Italy.

Distinct Flavor Characteristics

Yemen Mocha coffee has diverse flavors. Light to medium roast reveals fruity sweet aroma, mildness, warm sun-dried fermentation notes; deep roast reveals rich wine aroma and bittersweet chocolate aftertaste.

Mocha Coffee

Mocha is probably the most popular coffee variety among women. Most people with some knowledge of coffee think it's just latte with added chocolate. This statement isn't entirely wrong, but it's not completely correct either. This statement only treats Mocha as a "brewing method" of coffee. Authentic Mocha might not be easily loved by women quickly. Besides its natural chocolate aftertaste, its spiciness, stimulating quality, and strong wine aroma represent its less gentle side.

Yemen Mocha coffee beans are characterized by high acidity and an indescribable spicy flavor, which naturally makes Yemen Mocha coffee particularly stimulating to drink, inevitably reminding people of the heroic feeling of drinking strong liquor. But miraculously, Mocha coffee also has a characteristic chocolate aftertaste, making people naturally think of adding chocolate to coffee.
