Coffee terms explain mocha beans, mocha pot, mocha coffee

Mocha bean

Coffee originated in Ethiopia, which is located in the East African Plateau, where high-grade Karabica hand-dried coffee beans, named after Guduhara, have been produced here for nearly 2000 years. More than 1500 years ago, coffee trees were introduced to Yemen on the other side of the Red Sea, thus embarking on a world tour of coffee beans. Yemeni coffee is exported from the port of Mocha (now silted and abandoned) to all parts of the world (mainly sold to Europe through Turkey). So Yemeni coffee gets its name from the export port, which is what we often see today as "mocha beans".

Mocha pot

Since Yemen was the main exporter of coffee in the world before the European colonial tide, the word "mocha" has been synonymous with coffee for quite a long time.

Mocha Coffee

Due to the ancient manual drying method, the origin "mocha" beans are full of wild flavor, and there is a strong "chocolate flavor" in the afterrhyme, so in Italian coffee, "chocolate coffee" is called "mocha coffee". In fact, "mocha coffee" is just a cappuccino with chocolate sauce.
