Origins of Mocha

Origins of Mocha

Many people associate the word mocha with a cafe mocha, a drink that includes espresso, steamed milk and chocolate. However, the word mocha has its roots in a time long before this drink was invented. It refers to a coffee bean with a chocolatey taste that is derived from the coffee species Coffee arabica, which is native to Ethiopia. Marco Polo first introduced the bean to Europe after he purchased it from a salesman in Yemen.

 

It was a salesman from Mocha, Yemen, that supplied Marco Polo, and the bean has been called this ever since. Mocha coffee can either refer to coffee brewed with mocha beans, or the coffee and chocolate drink. The Europeans invented the mocha drink, and there are many ways to make it. You can add the chocolate using sweet cocoa powder, chocolate syrup, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate or all of them at once! It is definitely the chocolate-lover’s favorite coffee drink.

Coffee for People Who Don’t Like Coffee

Though it’s hard to conceive for most of us, sometimes there’s that person that just doesn’t like the taste of coffee beans.  However, it’s not uncommon for that person to want the benefits caffeine to help wake up in the morning.  While taking a huge dosage of sugar with your coffee from a mocha or cappuccino can resolve in a crash later, some delicious flavored coffee beans can curb the unpleasant taste of coffee beans.  For the person who doesn’t like coffee, you might consider chocolate flavored coffee, or coffee with vanilla bean extract to help wake up in the morning, and not make your face scrunch in disgust! 

 

There’s also the option of cream and sugar, but remember, when the coffee content becomes less than about 70% of the total drink, you’re basically just drinking sugar.  Some coffee drinks prepared by baristas can have more calories than a large soda!
