The Yemeni port town of Mokha, the source of the term mocha, is historically known as Arabia’s chief coffee-exporting center. Tradition holds that its founder, a Sufi mystic, brought coffee drinking to Arabia from Ethiopia in the 14th century. The town then monopolized the coffee trade until coffee plantations were cultivated in Java (now in Indonesia) and South America.
