About this Coffee
A Single Origin, Medium Roast of Ethiopian Coffee Beans with Bright Juicy Acidity and Notes of Berry Fruits
The cradle of mankind is also the seedbed of coffee. Ethiopia is where our story really begins; the story of modern humans and the story of coffee. While Ethiopia was the nursery of coffee, it was the great Arab traders who discovered coffee and took it to the world. Back in the 15th Century, the seaport of Mocha in Yemen became the great marketplace of coffee sourced from across the Red Sea. Arabica coffee still grows wild in landlocked Ethiopia, but the truly great coffee beans are grown along the longest mountain chain in Africa; the Ethiopian Highlands. It is in this land of contrasts, vast wetlands, high forests and the world’s hottest settlement at Dallol, where the year-round temperature averages 35c, that the best Arabica coffee beans are grown. Mokha is the dawn, it is the beginning; the Alpha and the Omega.
Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, where it still grows wild. From the best growing regions comes a coffee with bright juicy acidity and berry fruits.
Mokha is sourced from the Limmu region where it is traditionally grown alongside other crops including bananas, tea and cinnamon. Bright, juicy acidity with berry fruits, a silky body and chocolate notes makes this an outstanding single origin coffee as well as a valuable contributor in other Yahava blends.
