Who we are?
"In the depths of a Yemen coffee cup, I taste the resilience of a nation, the strength of its people, and the untold stories woven within. It reminds me of the untapped potential within ourselves and the world, waiting to be discovered and shared all around."

1- Support of small farmers comes first
We buy coffee from small farmers with limited resources and exposure, and market them abroad alongside the personal stories of these hardworking people. Even if the only produce 15kg annually, we strive to pay them fairly so that they can keep farming every year.
2- SDGs Approach
We create new income opportunities for people involed in the coffee industry by discovering the value in things that have never been made as product, like Gishr (coffee dry husk).
3- Labor Support
By managing coffee by hand instead of relying on machines, we are working to improve quality and individual techneical skills; all while supporting those with few income opportunities who might not otherwise have a chance in life. We also work to support the environment through this process; all while maintaining an eco-friendly business.

A great bean to start my morning – floral with a hint of fruitiness. Each sip was pleasant. A perfect one to kick off my day :)
空煎りしてから煮出しました
有機のスパイスで使いましたがとてもエキゾチックな香りがキッチンに広がりいい感じ
私は更にミルク入れてみました
飲みやすくて朝食のパンに合います
Thank you Mocha Origins Coffee, I greatly appreciate your dedication to service and above all quality. It is a pleasure to get such a good product out of Yemen. Shams Haraz is of eceptional quality, it displays a winey acidity, but still some warm chocolate notes, which I have come to love in Yemeni coffee. I have been particularly impressed by the homogeneity of the individual beans, which is s real testament to its quality.
今まで飲んだコーヒーのどのコーヒーとも違ってます。
凝縮された旨みと香味はエチオピアとも違う独特の風味です。
他とは明らかに違うおいしさのコーヒーです。
The coffee has a very special taste which cannot be forgotten easily
First of all, it has a captivating aroma that is different from other coffee beans and mesmerizing. When brewed, the drink is like a fruit tea with a strong taste of ripe cherries. It is a fragrant drink that does not feel like coffee in a good way.
I felt that is tast like a high cacao chocolete.
The tast is very nice. Thank you!
まだ焙煎はしておりません。浅煎りか、中煎りか、焙煎度合いを考えております。モカオリジンズでしか手に入らないイエメンの素晴らしい生豆をこれからも期待しております。イエメンの方々の平和と幸せを祈ります！サービスのドリップパックをありがとうございました。
Very good coffee. I hope peace will come to Yemen as soon as possible.
It is very fine and I have never drunk such coffee before. It is very different from "Our Japanese Mocha" which is sold in Japan.
