I would like to thank Mahyoub Al-Kamali for his article on Yemeni coffee. For me, it is a source of pride when you enter the most recognized coffee chain in the world, Starbucks, and you notice a type of coffee deriving its name from a region in Yemen. Mocha Sanaani coffee is the most expensive brand. It saddens me, though, to see that in the country where coffee originated (Yemen), the coffee plant is becoming extinct. More alarming is the fact that coffee is being replaced by the harmful plant qat.
