Everyone has heard of mocha, but few know the origins of the delicious coffee thatconnoisseurs treasure. Mocha coffee beans are one of the oldest known varieties of coffee in the world. Traditionally grown throughout Yemen, these deeply flavorful beans take their name from the ancient Yemeni port city of Mocha, which was a primary point of coffee trade for centuries.
Some four centuries ago, small quantities of this coffee with a very fine flavor were exported through this port. Mocha beans became one of the first types of coffee beans marketed to Europe. In fact, some experts say that almost all coffee was first referred to as mocha in the Western world. Throughout the 16th and 17th century, as the beans became a popular import to Italy, Holland, and eventually the rest of Europe, true mocha coffee maintained a reputation for being the finest available.
Mocha coffee beans are rare and difficult to obtain. Coffee lovers know that coffee beans are greatly affected by the area they are produced in. The soil, altitude, and climate of a coffee growing area will have great influence on the coffee’s characteristics, from its body to its flavor to its aroma.
