The story of Yemen coffee begins in the Middle Ages. These old farmers cultivated and brewed some of the earliest coffee. It is claimed these farmers then infected the rest of the surrounding region with their love of this new drink. Whether this story is true or not, the results were clear. Yemen became a powerhouse in the coffee world. the monks helped spread the love of coffee throughout the world. Considering most of the Yemeni coffee was exported from the port in Mocha, it was only natural for the coffee from the region to take the name of the port and thus, the popular flavor mocha was born. When enjoying Yemeni coffee, you’ll taste a wide variety of flavors. Hints of cinnamon, spices, raisins, and especially the defining note of chocolate are all noticeable when enjoying these beans.
