Description

Yemen is the most likely location of coffee that was first brewed as the beverage we know today. Coffee seeds from coffee’s birthplace of Ethiopia were first transported to Yemen in the late 15th century. It was here that the cultivation, harvesting, processing, roasting, and brewing of coffee was first documented by Sufi monks in their monasteries. However, it wasn’t until the 1800’s that the first recorded export of coffee was documented, making the tradition of coffee and coffee drinking a relatively new experience. This Yemen Mocha coffee is the most storied coffee we have seen.
