Mocha Java coffee

When you hear the words Mocha Java, do you think of a big iced drink with a dollop of whipped cream on the top?  Mocha Java coffee is actually a combination of sharp, fruity Mocha beans from Ethiopia and rich Java beans from Indonesia.  Together, these premium coffee beans can result in a smooth, medium- to full-bodied flavor without parallel.    All coffee beans originated in Mocha, a city in Yemen, and the city name forever became tied in with coffee.  When coffee came to Europe, chefs realized that it was not only a refreshing drink, but also gave desserts a certain pop.  In North America, cooks combined coffee with chocolate for that region’s version of mocha flavor. 

 

Mocha Java coffee will stimulate your palate, open your eyes and start your day with a blast of robust flavor.
