Talk:Mocha (beverage)

These two articles really should be merged. Although there are many variations of the Mocha beverage, a compilation of these deffinitions would be appropriate as they all have the same history. Also to be noted is that the term Mocha comes from the city in Yemen. However, the drink is American and the name only comes from that city being one of the historically larger coffee ports.

 * From what I can gather, Mocha was originally a particular variety of coffee, made without cocoa, but which tasted as if it had cocoa in it, and modern usage usually refers to an imitation of it using other coffee varieties and cocoa. See the Yemen Coffee Processing Company's website. A print source would be better. Hairy Dude 17:08, 12 April 2006 (UTC)


 * The articles are certainly about the same drink. I think Cafe Mocha is the correct name.  That's the article that should be developed, imo. Rlitwin 15:28, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
