Mokhtar Alkhanshali is twenty-four and working as a doorman when he discovers the astonishing history of coffee and Yemen’s central place in it. He leaves San Francisco and travels deep into his ancestral homeland to tour terraced farms high in the country’s rugged mountains and meet beleaguered but determined farmers. But when war engulfs the country and Saudi bombs rain down, Mokhtar has to find a way out of Yemen without sacrificing his dreams or abandoning his people. Review: AMAZING STORY - What a great story! I picked up this book, thinking it was similar to assignment Rosti book I just finished reading, which was more of a fable. I would still light it to learn that this was a true story. Having spent time in the Middle East, I know something of its gloried past. I loved learning more about Yemen. I had no idea the Yemini were the first to brew coffee. I’m so glad that there is someone making it worthwhile for the farmers to grow coffee again rather than qat. This is the type of tale that helps you understand why America is a land of immigrants. Yes, they came for a better life, but they also came, hoping to make life better for those they left behind. Moktar truly is able to do that Despite the fact that he seems worthless, once he found his dream, his passion, there was no stopping him from succeeding. I can’t wait to discuss the story with my book group. I’m eager to hear their insights into the tale.

My thanks to the seller! As for content, I'm half way through and absolutely love it. I've learned more than I knew there was to learn about the coffee industry, as well as about the political situation in Yemen and nearby coffee producing countries. The writing really grabs me making it hard to put down. Some parts read like a thriller. Thanks to the author and man the book is about, both admirable! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Monk of Mokha - Q Skills for Success Reading and Writing, 4th Level 3rd Edition Student book and IQ Online Access - Grammar and Beyond Essentials Level 3 Student's Book with Digital Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/99248450-the-monk-of-mokha](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/99248450-the-monk-of-mokha) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
