Yemeni Coffee (Mocha)

Yemeni Mocha is coffee at its wildest and most primordial — a natural-process cup crammed with dried apricot, raisin and date, deep dark chocolate and a boozy, red-wine intensity laced with cardamom and tobacco. Grown on ancient rain-fed stone terraces in the arid highlands above Sana'a and sun-dried whole on rooftops, it drinks dense, syrupy and unmistakably old-world. This is the coffee that first reached the world through the Red Sea port of Mocha, the bean that gave 'mocha' its name.
