Mocha takes its name from the port of Mocha in the Yemen on the banks of the red sea from which all the coffee from that region was traditionally exported.
The port was closed by sands over 150 years ago and most of the coffee from that region is now shipped from Aden and Hodeida. Ethiopia's gift to the world is coffee as this is where the 'mother tree' can be visited. A pure Arabica this coffee has a smooth distinctive flavour.
Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. Depending on different regions there is a wide variety of coffees, produced either as dry processed or washed. Top Ethiopian quality displays unique characteristics, incorporating varying degrees of fruit and floral notes. Coffee is still largely sold through the auction system, although over the past few years there has been the emergence of cooperative organised groups able to offer green coffee direct to the export level. Main harvest times are from October/November through to April.
