A caff mocha or caf mocha[note 1] is a variant of a caff 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, caf mochas contain the well-known milk froth on top, although they are sometimes served with whipped cream instead. They are usually topped with a dusting of either cinnamon or cocoa powder. Marshmallows may also be added on top for flavor and decoration. A variant is white caf mocha, made with white chocolate instead of milk or dark. There are also variants of the drink that mix the two syrups; this mixture is referred to by several names, including black and white mocha, tan mocha, tuxedo mocha and zebra. Caf 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 of coffee, especially to areas around the Arabian Peninsula. These coffees had a notable chocolaty taste, and hence the term "mocha" was extended to mean intentional addition of chocolate to coffee. The caffeine content is 10.9 mg/oz which is 175 for a 16 oz glass. [1]

[edit] Mocha coffee beans

Mocha is also used to describe a coffee bean with a "chocolaty" taste. Smaller and rounder than most other varieties, these beans are derived from the coffee species Coffea arabica, which is native to Ethiopia and Yemen. "Mocha coffee" can refer either to the coffee-with-chocolate drink, or simply to coffee brewed with mocha beans, which were originally cultivated in Yemen and exported through the port of Mocha.

[edit] Notes
1. ^ As elsewhere in coffee naming, the Italian caff and French caf are commonly found, as are the hyperforeignisms (errors) caff and (sometimes) caf, which confuse the accents. "Mocha", by contrast, is from Yemeni Arabic. Starbucks uses the Italianate caff mocha
