/ˈmɒkə//ˈməʊkə/

The word "mocha" originated from the port city of Mocha, located on the Red Sea in what is now Yemen. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Mocha was a major trading hub for coffee, which was grown in the nearby mountains. The city's merchants imported and exported coffee, including a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans, which became known as "Mocha coffee" due to its association with the city. The term "mocha" eventually became associated with a type of coffee drink made with chocolate or cocoa powder, which was popularized in European coffeehouses during the 18th century. The chocolate-coffee combination was a luxury item and was named "mocha" in honor of the city that inspired it. Today, the term "mocha" is widely used to describe a coffee drink made with chocolate syrup, cocoa powder, or chocolate chips.
