Among Starbucks'"three Musketeers", mocha is the most low-key.

You see, his other two brothers, the latte and the cappuccino, are always in the spotlight.

However, when you meet mocha coffee, it will say to you, "I am a very warm cup of coffee."

When I ask a girl out for Starbucks in winter, I think it's best to order her a cup of mocha coffee.

Thick milk flavor, heavy chocolate flavor, drink in the mouth, sweet, warm, the girl has not had time to aftertaste, bursts of warmth throughout the body.

Gently brush off the residual foam from the corner of the girl's mouth and say some witty words to her. The girl "giggles" and her face is red with cold, full of joy.

So, sometimes, mocha coffee will also tell you that it is a very suitable cup of coffee for "writing winter love songs".

Of course, the proudest thing about the low-key mocha is that it is different from lattes and cappuccinos.

It's a cup of chocolate milk coffee!

The name of mocha coffee.

When it comes to the name of mocha coffee, this is not a simple origin.

Mocha, which is the English translation of "Mocha", is also called "Mochaccino" in the United States.

Chinese mainland and Taiwan both call it Mocha, but when it comes to Hong Kong, it is different.

Once, when I talked about coffee with my friends in Hong Kong, he froze and walked around it several times before he realized that Mocha was their "chocolate coffee" in Hong Kong.

If the name "Cappuccino" of cappuccino is related to the hats of European priests, then the name "Mocha" of mocha coffee comes from a port city in the Middle East.

In Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula, there is a port city on the Red Sea called Mocha Mocha.

In the 15th century, the place was rich in a special kind of coffee beans with a strong chocolate flavor. The locals called it mocha coffee bean Mocha coffee bean.

At that time, Yemen was ruled by the Ottoman Empire, and this mocha coffee bean was widely popular in the Empire and later became a popular coffee in continental Europe.

At this point, you can also have a relationship with the girl, "in fact, Starbucks mocha coffee also has a mystery."

Look, on the Starbucks menu, it says "Caf è Mocha" for Mocha.

But we have all studied English for 12 years and know that the English name of coffee is "Coffee", not "Caff è".

"isn't Starbucks American? Why not use an English name? " The girl asked curiously.

Who told Starbucks to do marketing?

"Caff è" is the Italian way to write coffee.

Starbucks labeled mocha coffee as "Caffee è Mocha" to say that this is coffee from Italy, is the original espresso!

"but in fact, there is no coffee called mocha in Italy," you said.

There is no mocha coffee in Italy.

It is true.

If you say to a native Italian,"I want a mocha coffee."

They'll look at you, wondering.

Because in the Italian mind, there is no such thing as mocha coffee.

Or, imaginative Italians will pull out a coffee pot, point to it, and say,"Is that what you want?"

In Italy, there is also a word that sounds similar to mocha, moka.

This refers to the "moka pot," a coffee pot used to extract espresso.

It has nothing to do with mocha coffee!

Mocha coffee, coffee culture with European chocolate milk

There is no coffee called mocha in Italy, though.

But this chocolate milk coffee has existed since ancient times and is very popular with Europeans.

Around the 16th century, chocolate and coffee were introduced to Europe at almost the same time.

At that time, their status can be different, chocolate is the Spanish aristocracy to eat, is a kind of "fun food", legend can promote human sexual desire.

Coffee is a daily drink for ordinary people and a refreshing thing for Europeans in their work and life.

But anyway, when someone accidentally mixes hot chocolate and coffee and finds that they are "made in heaven," it tastes great!

Thus, hot chocolate coffee was born.

This new coffee at that time was a mixture of chocolate, milk and coffee, and it was also the prototype of the international superstar "Mocha Coffee".

For example, in the 17th century, Bavarian coffee appeared in Venice, Italy and other places.

However, the most famous is the chocolate milk coffee in Turin, Italy in the 18th century-"Bicerin" coffee, which still exists today.

In 1983, Schultz, the current chairman of Starbucks, went to Milan, Italy on a business trip and was surprised to find the splendor of Italian coffee.

After returning home, he launched American-flavored lattes and cappuccinos.

Schultz would travel to Italy once a year for the rest of his life, moving his espresso to the United States bit by bit.

Among them, the "chocolate milk coffee" moved to become the current "mocha coffee".

Although I have looked up a lot of literature, asked the predecessors of the domestic coffee industry, and asked Starbucks insiders, there is no evidence that the name "Mocha Mocha" is taken by Starbucks people.

But there is no doubt that it must have been done by an American.

Mocha coffee, special flavor

When I was studying barista, my teacher told me,"Zheng Xiaota, for mocha coffee, you can imagine chocolate cappuccino!"

What, there's such an explanation?

I've always thought that mocha coffee is like a coffee-flavored Awatian drink.

Do you remember the Ahuatian we drank when we were children, and the slogan, "the kids who drink Ahuatian are amazing, they are amazing!"

But when you date a girl, you can't say that.

You can say, "mocha is a very special kind of coffee, different from latte and cappuccino."

It has the mellowness of coffee, the richness of milk, the sweetness of chocolate, and the smoothness of cream, intertwined and blended into the full flavor of a cup of mocha coffee.

There are also fine milk bubbles in the middle, twining, flying and disillusionment between your tongue and teeth.

This is a taste bud experience that lattes, cappuccinos and fragrant white can't bring.

Mocha coffee, or the sweetest Starbucks coffee.

Some of my female friends like to drink mocha coffee, especially when they are irritable and angry. The sweet and delicious taste of mocha is said to soothe their mood.

This makes their boyfriends very happy.

"bag" treats all kinds of diseases, the effect is good, but how can you send it every day, it is not as cost-effective as sending mocha coffee.
