Mocha is famous for being the major marketplace for coffee from the
15th century until the 17th century. Even after other sources of coffee
were found, Mocha (also called Sanani (meaning from Sana'a) or Mocha Sanani)
beans continued to be prized for their strong, chocolate flavor—and
remain so even today. From this coffee the English language gained the
word mocha. A Sana'a coffee is ifferent every time you buy it, since the
Yemen system involves families selling to local collectors, selling to
Sana collectors, then selling to exporters.
