Caffè Mocha

Caffe mocha is a perfect coffee drink for all the chocolate lovers out there.

The word ‘mocha’ is the name of certain coffee beans. Often understood to be the world’s oldest cultivated coffee, mocha is a very strong and slightly bitter brew of select coffee beans. The name Mocha comes from the port in Yemen, where the coffee is thought to have been first exported.

Using these coffee beans, a basic mocha latte will include the combination of the coffee brewed from the mocha beans, a small amount of chocolate syrup or powder, and a light topping of steamed milk.

But these days, many stores don’t use mocha beans but still call it caffe mocha. So the term caffe mocha now generally refers to cafe lattes with chocolate.

A caffè mocha, also called mocaccino, is a chocolate-flavored variant of a caffè latte.

A variant is white caffè mocha, made with white chocolate instead of milk or dark. There are also variants of the drink that mix the two syrups; this mixture is referred to by several names, including black and white mocha, marble mocha, tan mocha, tuxedo mocha, and zebra.
