A FOUNDATIONAL CHAPTER IN COFFEE HISTORY
Yemen & the Story of Coffee
ROOTED IN YEMEN'S HIGHLAND TERRACES
HIGHLAND CULTIVATION
For centuries, coffee has been cultivated across Yemen's highland terraces, where distinct growing regions developed enduring coffee traditions.
A COFFEE CULTURE EMERGES
By the 15th century, coffee drinking was documented in Yemen, particularly among Sufi communities, as coffee became part of an enduring cultural tradition.
PORT OF MOCHA
Through Yemen and the historic Port of Mocha, coffee entered international trade and became closely connected with its spread beyond the Arabian Peninsula.
ENDURING LEGACY
Today, Yemen's highland regions continue to produce distinctive coffees shaped by growing conditions, regional traditions, and natural processing.
