Country of Yemen<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yemen is located at the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. The country has diverse terrains, from mountainous regions in the northwest to deserts in the southeast. The Socotra archipelago off the southern shore, often referred to as \u201cthe Galapagos Islands of the Indian Ocean,\u201d boasts a unique ecosystem. With relatively small oil output compared with other Middle Eastern nations, Yemen is not blessed with the affluence of Saudi Arabia and the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Islamic culture permeates many parts of the Yemenis\u2019 daily life, with women covering all but their eyes with a black veil and dress and men clad in white attire with a short dagger around the waist. The capital Sanaa, dubbed \u201cthe world\u2019s oldest skyscraper city,\u201d is listed as a World Heritage site. The city is home to architecture that dates back to the medieval era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These beautiful legacies of Islamic culture are still alive and well in Yemen. But the country ranks among the worst in terms of gender gap. With no legal minimum age for marriage, child marriage is still common, a practice that sets the country in stark contrast with the rest of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

History of Coffee in Yemen<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yemen\u2019s history is deeply intertwined with the history of coffee. In the 16th century, Ethiopia brought coffee trees to Yemen. They were later exported from Yemen to Europe by Dutch merchants in the 17th century before spreading worldwide. Port of Mokha, which sits across the Red Sea from the continent of Africa, is known as the place that exported coffee to the world for the first time. This is why Ethiopian and Yemeni coffee are collectively called Mokha. Yemen is, in other words, the origin of coffee trading.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Coffee Production in Yemen<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yemen\u2019s coffee is mainly produced in the country\u2019s northwest. It is grown in terraced fields to deal with an abundance of rain. This landscape of terraced coffee farms is characteristic of Yemen. Famous cultivation areas include the Bani Matar district, which produces a variety called Mocha Mattari, and the Haraz district, which produces Mocha Haraz. They are both located around the Jabal An-Nabi Shu\u2019ayb mountain near the capital Sanaa.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yemen and Civil War<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yemen was once a thriving trade hub, earning itself the moniker \u201cArabia Felix,\u201d or fertile Arabia. But today, some say the country faces the world\u2019s worst humanitarian crisis, brought on by political upheaval. The ongoing civil war has dealt a devastating blow to Yemen\u2019s industry and economy since it broke out in 2015. Around half of its citizens live in poverty. The collapse of basic infrastructure has resulted in the spread of infectious diseases. Amid the raging conflict that has no end in sight, production of specialty coffee is one of the few hopes for Yemen.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
