Everyone has heard of mocha but few know the origins of the delicious coffee that connoisseurs treasure. Mocha originates from its name sake port city of Mocha located in the southernmost tip of the Arabian peninsula, now part of Yemen. Yemen Mocha is a dark, strong and sweet-tasting coffee that was discovered by the outside world in the 16th century. The fabulously wealthy Ottoman Sultans learned of Sanani mocha coffee and exported it to their capitol city, Istanbul, in burlap sacks labeled by their point of origin, Mocha.

Called qahwah in Arabic, the beverage became known as qahvay in Turkish, and as its popularity mounted around the rest of Europe, terms like café and coffee caught on.

Seeking the treasures of the East, like spices and fine coffee, Dutch traders set up exporting enterprises on the Red Sea in the 1600s. Bags labeled “Mocha” were soon making their way to Amsterdam and eventually to Parisian coffee shops, where Sanani mocha coffee became a sensation in the mid 1700s. This exceptional coffee became the drink of choice for French Enlightenment writers like Rousseau and Voltaire as well as royals like Napoleon Bonaparte and his fashionable and sophisticated wife, Josephine.
