History of the Mocha

Mocha in Glass, How to Make the Best Mocha

Originally, mocha referred to coffee beans imported from Al Moka, a Yemeni port. The beans differentiated themselves by their irregular shape and yellow-green hue. Their flavor was known for being earthy and chocolatey. This famous flavor of the beans influenced Italian coffee drinkers to add chocolate to their espresso to make the drink we know today.

Unlike the liquid and thin drink, Americans know as hot chocolate, Italian hot chocolate is thick and creamy. Frequently, they even cut it with corn starch to further thicken it. Mochas are more like Italian hot chocolate than American hot chocolate because of their Italian influence.
