Café Mocha

A Café Mocha is a variant of a cafe latte. Like a latte it is typically one third espresso and two thirds steamed milk, but a shot of chocolate is added. Typically the chocolate is in the form of an Italian syrup. This being an American invention, it is mostly unknown in Italy. Mocha was originally a particular variety of coffee from Mocha, Yemen, 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. A term moccaccino seems to be used in some regions of Italy to describe Café Latte with cocoa or chocolate.
