Yemen's Coffee Trade: From Mocha to the World
Om avsnittet
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the history of Yemen's coffee trade, focusing on the port of Mocha (al-Mukha) and its role in spreading coffee to the world. They discuss the origins of coffee cultivation in Yemen's Sufi monasteries, the rise of Mocha as a global trade hub in the 15th-17th centuries, the role of the Ottoman Empire and European traders, and the eventual decline of Yemen's coffee monopoly due to colonial plantations in Java and the Americas. Along the way, they touch on the social and economic impact of coffee on Yemeni society, including the qat controversy and the modern legacy of the name 'Mocha'. This episode offers a fresh angle on Yemen's commercial history, distinct from the political and military narratives covered in prior episodes.
