Mocha Coffees Koregaon Park

Mocha Coffees  Koregaon Park
Mocha (Arabic: al-Mukhā) is a port city on the Red Sea coast of Yemen. Mocha Cafe is derived from a coffee bean created in the port city of Mocha. The name Mocha in relation to chocolate is strictly as a result of European influence. Chocolate is not cultivated, nor imported into Mocha, and the advent of the coffee-chocolate mixture was done by the Europeans. The Cacao bean originally descended from Mexico. This is why the origin of the Mocha bean is actually quite controversial. Mocha is famous for being the major marketplace for coffee from the 15th century until the 17th century.
