Fisherman, Mocha, Yemen, 1964

Photograph by Thomas J. Abercrombie

Once-thriving Mocha, Yemen, grew rich exporting coffee, cultivated in the mountains nearby, and its name became synonymous with the drink. Decline set in when 18th-century planters successfully grew the bean in Java and the New World. Today blowing sand dusts the town and silts its harbor.

也门摩卡港一度因出口其城外山上种植的咖啡豆而兴盛富裕，摩卡也成为了咖啡的同义词。但当18世纪的种植者成功地在爪哇岛和新大陆培育这种（摩卡）咖啡豆之后，摩卡港的衰落也就开始了。今日，风沙撒满了摩卡城，也淤塞了摩卡港。
