Mocha Coffee-History

Mocha is named after the famous Mocha Harbor. In the fifteenth century, East Africa was very underdeveloped in transportation, but it produced the world's most precious coffee beans, which were collected at Mocha Port in Yemen and shipped to Europe. Today, Mocha Port has retreated inland due to the accumulation of silt, and new ports, including Mombasa and Durban, have replaced Mocha Port, but the origin of Mocha coffee in Mocha Port period is still preserved, and the coffee beans produced in these places are still called Mocha Coffee Beans.

Mocha beans are so popular because of their rich taste. Red wine aromas, wild aromas, dried fruit aromas, blueberries, grapes, cinnamon, tobacco, sweet spices, logs, even chocolate. Europeans love mocha coffee and have long regarded it as an expendable luxury.

With the birth of Italian fancy coffee, people tried to add chocolate to regular coffee instead of mocha coffee, which is now often drunk fancy mocha. Italian fancy mocha coffee is made by mixing 1/3 of Italian espresso, 2/3 of hot milk, and then adding chocolate ingredients. Traditional Italian fancy mocha coffee uses chocolate syrup as an ingredient, but later, due to the popularity of mocha coffee, more home-made mocha coffee uses chocolate syrup instead of chocolate powder. Today's mocha coffee uses dark chocolate as well as milk chocolate as an ingredient. Unlike cappuccino's thick milk foam, mocha tops don't have milk foam, replaced by whipped cream, and cocoa powder and cinnamon are added. Preserved fruit is also used as a garnish for mocha coffee placed on top.

Therefore, the so-called mocha coffee is actually a general term for mocha bean coffee and fancy mocha coffee. When tasting mocha coffee, you must pay attention to this point, so as not to order coffee that is not the mocha coffee in mind.

Mocha Coffee

More than 100 years ago, the entire Middle East non-coffee countries, when the outward transportation industry was not prosperous, Yemen Mocha was the main export port near the Red Sea at that time, most of the coffee produced in Africa was first transported to Yemen Mocha Port and then exported to Europe. A hundred years later, African coffee countries have gradually developed their own export ports, no longer relying on Mocha Port, Mocha Port has also retreated inland due to siltation, but now Africa's Mombasa Port, Durban Port, Beiva Port... have become some of Africa's emerging coffee export ports, but at that time coffee as long as it is concentrated in Mocha Port and then exported to Africa, are collectively referred to as mocha coffee.

There are many answers to this question. Some people say mocha is a certain place of origin, and some people have the impression that mocha is sweet chocolate coffee. In fact, authentic mocha coffee is only produced in Yemen, southwest of the Arabian Peninsula, growing on steep mountain sides at altitudes of 3,000 to 8,000 feet, and is the oldest coffee in the world.

Coffee has been produced in Yemen for more than 500 years in an ancient way. At the beginning of the 17th century, the first batch of Yemeni coffee sold to Europe was exported through the ancient small port of Mocha Port, which amazed Europeans and called the delicious coffee shipped from Mocha Port "Mocha Coffee", which is the origin of the name "Mocha Coffee".

At present, the coffee produced in Yemen is the best, followed by the Ethiopian mocha; mocha coffee with lubrication in the acid to strong acid, sweet nature is particularly good, unique flavor, containing chocolate taste; with the temperament of noble women, is a very characteristic pure coffee.
