Moka is the name of a type of coffee, belonging to a genus of Arabica coffee, originating from the French colonists in the 30s ago. Commonly grown in Da Lat, Lam Dong and found by Doctor Pasteur. Moka coffee is internationally known as Mocha coffee originating from the Mocha land in Yemen. The appearance of the Moka Coffee beans is quite small, hard, and the color ranges from greenish yellow to light yellow.
The shape of the beans of Moka coffee in the world is also not fixed, from small to large to round with different distortions. In Vietnam, Moka coffee has a very low yield, mainly harvested from "trees" (trees planted in the past) concentrated in Lam Dong area. The main reason comes from the fact that climatic conditions, altitude and soil quality are difficult to propagate and take care of. Therefore, the output is very low, combined with the excellent quality, which makes the selling price of Moka coffee quite high compared to the average coffee price in Vietnam.
The area where Moka coffee can be grown must be at an altitude of 1500m or more above sea level and with suitable climatic conditions to produce the best and best quality Moka coffee products. Therefore, Cau Dat - a place in Da Lat, Lam Dong has produced a very famous and popular coffee product called Moka Cau Dat.
What does Moka coffee taste like?
It can be said that very few people can confidently recognize the distinctive taste of Moka coffee. If ordinary coffee like Robusta has a strong and seductive bitter taste, then Moka coffee features a very special sour taste. This sour taste is naturally mild, not harsh with a very distinct bitter aftertaste.
In addition to the seductive and luxurious aroma, when enjoying a cup of pure Moka coffee, you will feel the gentle sour taste, then gradually turn to the bitter and sweet taste at the tip of the tongue, very special. . This sour taste is often mistaken by many people as coffee with impurities, dirty coffee does not guarantee quality. But for those who have tasted and connoisseurs will recognize the pure taste of Moka coffee.
Moka coffee has a characteristic sour taste
Going deep into the origin of Moka Coffee, this is a coffee variety belonging to the genus of Arabica with characteristics that are difficult to care for, grow, susceptible to pests and diseases, weak resistance, and very little annual yield. Currently in Lam Dong, Moka coffee is only grown very little, while most farmers have switched to growing Catimor - an easier Arabica variety.
Moka coffee is a purebred variety of Arabica, while Catimor coffee is a blend of Arabica and Robusta to create a coffee variety that is more resistant, stronger, easy to grow, and produces better yields. . However, the taste is still not comparable with Moka coffee.
Cau Dat Moka coffee production is very low
In the famous Cau Dat coffee growing area, Moka (also known as Cau Dat Moka) only has a few hundred roots left with varieties including Moka and Typica.
How much is MOKA COFFEE?
As for the current Moka coffee on the market, it is mixed with impurities and faked quite a lot due to the expensive price, the selling price is only inferior to weasel coffee and very few people can recognize pure Moka coffee. Here we will summarize the selling price on the market for customers to refer to.
Moka coffee really doesn't have much in the market
Moka Cau Dat coffee has been roasted and ungrounded size 16, priced from 550 thousand per kilogram
Moka Cau Dat coffee has been roasted and not ground yet, size 18, priced from 650 thousand per kilogram
Moka Cau Dat coffee, which has been roasted, has not been ground yet, priced from 700 thousand to 900 thousand per kilogram.
The price of Moka Cau Dat is quite high
Currently on the market, customers can easily come across units and suppliers that introduce Cau Dat Moka Coffee with very cheap prices, only about 120 thousand to 250 thousand per kilogram. In our opinion, with this price range, customers should be very careful because there is a high possibility that Moka is not correct or has been mixed with other types of coffee, other impurity powders.
Because of its very difficult characteristics to grow and care, low yield and difficult growing conditions, the scarcity of Moka Coffee is very high, it is completely impossible to have a large output and have such a cheap price. Customers should pay special attention to not only losing money but also affecting their health when using.
