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.

Kenya: Specialty Sourcing of Coffee

Kenya has the most balanced and complex taste of all coffees out there.

Coffee can be perceived differently depending on the purposes it is used for. Daily consumers see it as a specialty product of interest whereas sellers take advantage of it for business. Kenyan manufacturers and farmers truly value coffee above all: for them, it’s a job, and a life sustain. The passion and effort they put can be seen in the annual exports of coffee. Keep reading to discover what makes this coffee so good.

Lands of Kenya

Kenya highlands are characteristic because of its acidic soil, the perfect amount of sunlight and rainfall that maintain coffee plants in optimal conditions. Kenyan coffee has some similarities with the “Colombian mild” type because of the higher altitudes where the fruit is grown. There’s a strong theory that states coffee could have been brought from Ethiopia (one of the sources coffee is believed to come from), but it wasn’t until 1893 that coffee trees were cultivated near Nairobi.

Kenyan coffee

Coffee beans grown in Kenya are known for its intense flavor, strong but pleasant aroma with notes of cocoa and sweetness. Tasting notes of this coffee are indicative of its intense presence, featuring winey richness and a dry aftertaste (much like Ethiopian coffee).

The balance of flavor of a good Kenyan coffee can be noticed. There are some notes of lemon or even pepper in it, which stay after tasting it. Overall, the taste is excellent in all senses, but not everyone is used to the tasting tones at first.

Starbucks is the main buyer of Kenyan coffee products. Curiously, the beans are roasted weeks and even months before being sold and shipped, which leads to some misconceptions around the ratings of coffee.

That Coffee Roasters share the same passion as Kenya’s farmers in the sourcing and production of the best coffee. They know how much value these beans hold, making their roasts more valuable in return. Contact them and get a taste of the best roasted coffee, directly from Kenya!

Kenyan coffee can be found at high altitudes, their constitution and shape are characteristic of East Africa climates.
