The Taste of Mocha: Chocolate-Flavored Coffee

Coffee and chocolate are perfect for sweetening your day.

The development of taste in coffee depends on many different factors. First of all: the beans, how they were grown and harvested plays a prominent role. Then it all depends on the roaster who develops the final taste. With so many coffee profiles, people ask for what they know due to popularity. Mocha turns out to be one of those, but why? What makes this coffee so appealing? To begin, it’s a contrast of two flavors: coffee and chocolate.

The moment you ask for mocha, the barista already knows what to do: brew a dark roast to obtain a finely made espresso then combine it with steamed milk and chocolate. People often call it chocolate mocha, and even though the preparation varies, the classical features are these three. But in truth, the name had nothing to do with this preparation.

Origins of Mocha

The term mocha is dated back in 1773, and it didn’t initially mean the mixture of chocolate with coffee. The Mocha coffee beans are one variety of coffee that became widely known in Europe, and its name was originated from the port where these coffee beans came from (Al Mokha) in Yemen.

This naming caused certain confusion, making it an inaccurate name for future coffees. So it would be more precise to call these Yemen coffee beans (which are commonly known today as Arabica), to differentiate it from today’s preparation. The mocha beverage became of great popularity due to the combination of flavors: contrasting the softness of milk, sweet but strong flavor of chocolate and acidity of coffee.

Preparation of such brews demands skill and professionalism, which can be traced to the best roasters in the market. That Coffee Roasters are the ones who source the best coffee products.
