Coffee is shipped as pale, hard, unroasted beans, known as green coffee. The familiar aroma develops during roasting. On the quay, buyers look for sound beans without mould or damage from seawater.

Roasted and ground, they make a drink that is spreading through European towns and coffee houses. The beans are seeds inside the coffee shrub's fruit, removed and prepared before sale. Yemeni coffee reaches distant buyers through Red Sea trading routes. What begins as a crop ends as a drink around which people gather to talk and trade news.
