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. In the 15^thcentury the seaport of Mocha in Yemen became the great market place of coffee sourced from across the Red Sea. Arabica coffee still grows wild in landlocked Ethiopia, but the truly great coffees are grown along the longest mountain chain in Africa; the Ethiopian Highlands. It is a land of contrasts, vast wetlands, high forests and the world’s hottest settlement at Dallol where the year-round temperature averages 35c. Mokha is the dawn, it is the beginning; the Alpha and the Omega.

Description

Mokha

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.

The Body & Brightness Profiles:

When you first taste a coffee, you should first assess its body or mouth feel and also just how acidic or bright it is. You may like a coffee that has a whole lot of body but with low acidity. Or you may like a mellower mouth feel but a brighter acidity. It really is a personal preference, there is no right or wrong.

Mokha has a medium body and a high brightness.

The Flavour Profiles:

What sets each individual coffee apart will be the flavours or what we call the “tasting notes”. The tasting notes are many and varied ranging from floral to nutty, spicy to berry, chocolaty to citrusy, just to name a few. These flavours make each coffee very different and so special. Where the coffee is grown, climate, elevation, soil type and harvesting techniques will all impact on the flavour so unique to each coffee.
