A Journey Through Time

Exploring Yemen's Coffee Heritage

Discovery

Origin of Coffee

Yemen is the origin of Coffea Arabica, which derives its name from Qahwah Arabiyah. For centuries, Yemen was the world's only source of coffee which was exported from the Port of Al Makha and which permanently lent the name Mocha to the coffee of Yemeni origin.
