Mokha (Arabic: المُخا, romanized: al-Mukhā), also spelled Mocha, or Mukha, [1] is a port city on the Red Sea coast of Yemen. Until Aden and al Hudaydah eclipsed it in the 19th century, Mokha was the principal port for Yemen's capital, Sanaa. Long known for its coffee trade, the city gave its name to Mocha coffee. [2]
It is harvested from the coffee-plant species Coffea arabica, which is native to Yemen. Mocha coffee beans are very small, hard, have an irregular round shape, and are olive green to pale yellow in color. [1] The name "Mocha" comes from the port of Mocha (al-Mukhā) through which most Yemeni coffee was exported before the 20th century. [2]
Arabic coffee originated in the Middle East, beginning in Yemen [3] and eventually travelling to Mecca , Egypt, the Levant, and then, in the mid-16th century, to Turkey and from there to Europe [4] where coffee eventually became popular as well. [5] Arabic coffee is an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Arab states confirmed by UNESCO. [6]
