Among those who like to drink individual coffee, mocha coffee represents Arabica native coffee beans exported by Yemeni countries or mocha beans produced in Harald, Ethiopia.

But in the eyes of espresso lovers, mocha generally refers to Italian fancy coffee made from Espresso with milk and chocolate sauce.

The knowledge of single mocha has been badly talked about on the Internet and in major coffee colleges. Another day, some fish will fry this cold rice. Today, a certain fish mainly wants to talk about the origin of the classic Italian mocha coffee in Italian fancy coffee.

The mocha in Italian mocha gets its name from the famous Yemeni port of Mocha in the 15th century. In the 15th century, the export trade of the whole Central and East African countries did not flourish, and the Yemeni port of Mocha monopolized almost all coffee trade in Middle East and African coffee producing countries at that time, becoming one of the top entry and exit ports of coffee beans in the world.

The vast majority of coffee beans from coffee-producing countries in Central and East Africa are concentrated in the port of Mocha, which exports coffee beans to Europe and the Arab region, and is habitually marked with mocha coffee when they leave the port.

Due to the underdeveloped maritime transport industry at that time, the freshness of coffee beans had been greatly damaged after leaving the port of Mocha and arriving in Europe and various Arab countries, and the roasted coffee beans were mostly bitter. But the bitter flavor of coffee was not fully accepted at that time, and people of all countries began to open their minds and add all kinds of things to the coffee to change the taste of coffee.

In Italy, open-minded Italians try to change the bitter taste of mocha by adding chocolate to mocha, which is the predecessor of the common fancy mocha.

The traditional Italian fancy mocha uses chocolate syrup as the raw material, and because mocha is so popular that more home-made mochas are replaced by chocolate powder. Today's mocha coffee in addition to dark chocolate, milk chocolate can also be used as one of the ingredients.

Unlike cappuccino's thick milk foam, mocha has no milk foam at the top and is replaced by whipped cream with cocoa powder and cinnamon.
