A Café mocha is a variant of a cafe latte. Like a latte, it is typically one third espresso and two thirds steamed milk, but a portion of chocolate is added, typically in the form of sweet cocoa powder, although many varieties use chocolate syrup. Mochas can contain dark or milk chocolate.
Like cappuccino,café mochas contain the well-known milk froth on top, although they aresometimes served with whipped cream instead. They are usually toppedwith a dusting of either cinnamon or cocoa powder. Marshmallows mayalso be added on top for flavor and decoration.
A variant is white café mocha, made with white chocolate instead of milk or dark. There are also variants of the drink that mix the two syrups; these are sometimes referred to as "Zebras", also referred to as "Tuxedo Mocha".
Café mocha takes its name from the Red Sea coastal town of Mocha, Yemen,which as far back as the fifteenth century was a dominant exporter ofcoffee, especially to areas around the Arabian Peninsula.
[edit] Mocha coffee beansMocha is also used to describe a coffee bean with a"chocolatey" taste. Smaller and rounder than most other varieties,these beans are derived from the coffee species Coffea arabica, which is native to Ethiopia."Mocha coffee" can refer either to the coffee-with-chocolate drink, orsimply to coffee brewed with mocha beans, which were originallycultivated in Yemen and exported through the port of Mocha.
