What is Mocha Coffee, and Where did it Originate?
A mocha coffee, also known as a caffè mocha, is a coffee beverage made comprised of espresso, hot milk, chocolate flavoring, and sugar that is served hot, and sometimes iced. Alternatively, white chocolate syrup or cocoa powder can be used to create chocolate flavoring. Mocha is also referred to as an espresso-infused hot chocolate in some circles. Is mocha simply a combination of chocolate and coffee? Fortunately, the short answer is "yes!"
A simple mocha base is made up of only two major ingredients: espresso and chocolate, which are combined in equal parts. By varying the number of ingredients used, you can create several sorts of mocha. Adding whipped cream on top, milk froth, cinnamon, or marshmallows are some of the most popular variations. In addition, white chocolate can be used to make the caffè mocha instead of milk to make it more decadent. It can even be made using a combination of white and milk chocolate to create a marble mocha effect.
The term "mocha" originated in Yemen, namely in the city of Al Moka, or Mocha. It is a coastal city on the Red Sea that served as a key port for the coffee trade from the 15th through the 18th centuries. The city was dubbed "Mocha" from the Arabian Mocha coffee beans exported through the port. Despite popular belief, the caffè mocha as we know it today was invented in the United States. During the 18th century, it was influenced by the Bicerin, an Italian beverage from Turin. Bavareisa was the name given to the dish at the time of its invention. However, because Caffè al Bicerin was responsible for popularizing the drink, it was eventually renamed.
