Insight from our Master Coffee
Importer
After Ethiopia came Yemen - at
least where coffee is concerned.
Yemeni coffees are from one of the
oldest sources of the bean in the
world. (Note: Some Yemenis dispute
Ethiopia being first, but we can
say for certain that Yemen is one
of the original two, and Yemenis
do have the honor of being in the
first blended coffee - Mokha-Java.)
Coffees from Yemen are most
distinct, and by the connoisseur,
highly praised coffees in the
world. Yemen coffees are the
epitome of a "wild" cup and can
border on scary at times because
of their deep earthy, complex,
pungency with overlays of dry
fruit (think raison), cardamom,
dry cinnamon, and tobacco notes.
Yemeni coffees have a great
history that has ripple effects
today. Mokha is not chocolate, no
matter how many coffee shops
insist on calling
chocolate-flavored coffee drinks
Mocha. Mokha is, in fact, the port
city where Yemeni beans were
loaded up into wooden hulled
sailing ships manned by low-land
sailors coming home from the
island of Java, hence Mokha-Java
blend. In fact, this historical
accident of a blend was a natural
fit as the funky wildness of Mokha
blends nicely with the brighter
cleaner Javanese bean.
Yemeni coffees are dry-processed
wild coffees, raised traditionally
without chemicals, that with a
brave palate, you just might fall
in love with. By all means, take a
swig of this brew!.
