The Yemeni Coffee Trade: From Mocha to the World
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Yemen's pivotal role in the global coffee trade, focusing on the port of Mocha and the unique coffee varieties that originated in the highlands of Yemen. They discuss the origins of coffee cultivation in the Sufi monasteries of the 15th century, the rise of Mocha as a trading hub, the Ottoman and European competition for control, and the eventual decline of Yemeni coffee dominance due to colonial plantations and civil conflict. The episode also touches on the modern revival of Yemeni coffee, including the qishr drink and the efforts of smallholder farmers to reclaim their heritage. Key figures include the Sufi saint Ali ibn Umar al-Shadhili, the Ottoman governor Özdemir Pasha, and Dutch smuggler Pieter van den Broecke.
