OUR STORY
Mocha Koffee Specialty, known as MKS Coffee, was born from a deep love for the heritage of Yemeni coffee. Our journey began with a simple mission: to reconnect the world with the authentic taste of Yemeni beans, grown high in the rugged mountains of Haraz, Haimi, and Ismaeli.
As descendants of coffee farmers and traders, we understand the value of tradition. That’s why we work directly with local Yemeni farmers who use time-honored methods to grow 100% Arabica beans without chemical intervention, just sun, soil, and skill.
We’re not just a coffee supplier. We’re a bridge between past and present, delivering ethically sourced, specialty-grade coffee that respects both the land and the people who farm it. From the terraces of Haraz to your doorstep, MKS Coffee stands for quality, culture, and connection.
WHY YEMEN MATTERS
Yemen is not just part of coffee’s history, it is the origin story. Every cup of Arabica coffee today carries the genetic fingerprint of the trees first cultivated in Yemen’s rugged highlands. No other origin holds this level
of historical, genetic, and sensory significance.
The Discovery of Yemenia
In a groundbreaking genetic survey covering more than 25,000 km², scientists identified Yemenia, a previously unknown and genetically distinct lineage of Arabica, found exclusively in Yemen. This discovery positions Yemen not only as coffee’s origin, but as a source of untapped genetic diversity with potential to shape the future of specialty coffee.
OUR VISION
To become the leading global partner for authentic Yemeni coffee known for our reliability, traceability, and respect for origin.
We envision a supply chain where tradition and transparency go hand in hand, empowering both producers and partners through fair trade and exceptional coffee.
The Genetic Source of Arabica
Over 98% of all cultivated Coffee arabica worldwide can be genetically traced back to Yemen. It was here and nowhere else that wild coffee was first domesticated and transformed into the “mother trees” from which today’s global coffee varieties descend.
OUR MISSION
To introduce the world to the unmatched richness of Yemeni coffee, one of the oldest and most distinctive coffee origins, by partnering directly with local farmers and delivering their harvest to global markets through a trusted, ethical supply chain. We are committed to preserving Yemen’s coffee heritage, supporting sustainable, community-driven farming, and ensuring long-term environmental and economic resilience.
Our purpose is to introduce exceptional, high-altitude Arabica accessible to specialty buyers worldwide while protecting the land and livelihoods it comes from.
Global Recognition of Quality
Yemenia isn’t just genetically unique, it’s exceptional in the cup. In blind tastings conducted by 35 expert cuppers from 24 top-tier coffee companies across 14 countries, Yemenia coffees ranked among the highest in the world. The verdict is clear: Yemen’s coffee is not only historic, it is world-class.
