The map
Mocha lies on Yemen's Red Sea coast, north of the Bab-el-Mandeb strait. On a map, the coastline runs almost straight, a long clean edge between the sea and the flat coastal plain known as the Tihama. The town is small and low, with streets close to the shore and the open sea taking up much of the sheet.
From the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, Mocha was a major port for the coffee trade. Beans grown in the Yemeni highlands were shipped from here to markets in the Middle East and Europe, and the town's name became linked with coffee itself. The mosque of al-Shadhili, associated with the saint linked to coffee in local tradition, remains a known landmark.
A Mocha map poster shows how a small place on a quiet coast shaped a global habit. The present town is modest compared with its reputation, and the map reflects that simplicity: sea, shoreline and a compact grid of streets. In black and white, the long coast gives the composition a strong horizontal calm.

For several centuries Mocha was the main port exporting Yemeni coffee, and the word mocha is still used for coffee around the world.
Behind the town lies the Tihama, a flat, arid coastal strip between the sea and the mountains, which appears on the map as wide, open ground.

Why Mocha
Mocha appeals to coffee lovers, roasters and café owners as much as to people with ties to Yemen. A map of the port that named a drink makes a thoughtful piece for a kitchen, a café wall or a gift.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, or add a date that matters to you. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand; Sand suits the coastal plain, while Paper gives the print a warm, trade-route feel.
