To know Yemen is the oldest civilization of the world. Yemen has many kingdoms before nine thousand years and it was the richest country in the Arabian peninsula. Yemen is the only country that has a lot of various cultures and customs but as it is developing country all European people don't know about Yemen. So, this is just little information about Yemen. We need many months to know others what is Yemen and how was Yemen. Yemen also produces honey, onyx and spices.

It always blows me away how unaware we are about the true price of food. we have no idea how subsidized our food is. same issue with banana. how come banana is so cheap, cheaper than fruit that grows here. i’d gladly drink one cup a week instead of everyday.

1:30 he's lying By the 16th century, coffee had reached the rest of the Middle East, Persia, Turkey, and northern Africa. The first coffee seeds were smuggled out of the Middle East by Sufi Baba Budan from Yemen to the Indian subcontinent during the time. Before then, all exported coffee was boiled or otherwise sterilised. Portraits of Baba Budan depict him as having smuggled seven coffee seeds by strapping them to his chest. The first plants grown from these smuggled seeds were planted in Mysore.
