SANAA, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- A coffee festival, named "Coffee Revolution," was held in Sanaa on Thursday to promote Yemeni coffee amid the ceasefire between the internationally-recognized Yemeni government and the Houthis.
The history of Yemenis cultivating coffee could date back to the early 15th century when coffee reached the Yemeni shores from Ethiopia. The Arabica coffee produced in Yemen is widely believed to be among the world's finest.
