Turkish coffee and its rich history with Yemen

Socotra Bio Inc. Founder & CEO Mitak Awad was born in Mokha or Mocha port city on Yemen’s southwestern coast that borders the Red Sea. His ancestors in Mokha have been associated with coffee since its founding in the 1300s. The Mocha coffee bean is a variety of coffee bean originally from Yemen. It is harvested from the coffee-plant species Mocha Coffee arabica, which is native to Yemen. In appearance it is very small, hard, round with an irregular shape, and olive green to pale yellow in color.

Turkish coffee was first introduced into Turkey around 1540 or so. History tells us that it was introduced by the Turkish Governor of Yemen – Oz Demir Pasha. He discovered a new beverage in his region, you get three guesses for what it might have been (hint, it was coffee). Wisely, he made sure to bring it to the attention of the Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent.

The Sultan’s staff decided to try a new method for preparing the drink. They used mortars to finely ground the coffee and then brewed it using a special pot called an Ibrik. It was immediately a big hit in the palace and became an integral part of Turkish history and culture. The mansions of the elite were the first to get to try this great new beverage. Later it was consumed by the masses and eventually the whole Ottoman Empire.
