5.mocha：摩卡咖啡

　　摩卡咖啡(CafeMocha)是一种最古老的咖啡，其历史要追溯到咖啡的起源。它是由意大利浓缩咖啡、巧克力酱、鲜奶油和牛奶混合而成，摩卡得名于有名的摩卡港。十五世纪，整个中东非咖啡国家向外运输业不兴盛，也门摩卡是当时红海附近主要输出一个商港，当时咖啡只要是集中到摩卡港再向外输出的非洲咖啡，都被统称摩卡咖啡。而新兴的港口虽然代替了摩卡港的地位，但是摩卡港时期摩卡咖啡的产地依然保留了下来，这些产地所产的咖啡豆，仍被称为摩卡咖啡豆。喝咖啡可以消除疲劳有助于帮助消化。

　　A caffè mocha or café mocha (pron.: /ˈmɒk.ə/ or /ˈmoʊk.ə/) is a variant of a caffè latte, inspired by the Turin Coffee beverage Bicerin. Like a caffè latte, it is based on espresso and hot milk, but with added chocolate, typically in the form of sweet cocoa powder, although many varieties use chocolate syrup. Mochas can contain dark or milk chocolate.

　　Café mocha, in its most basic formulation, can also be referred to as hot chocolate with (e.g. a shot of) espresso added. Like cappuccino, café mochas typically contain the well-known milk froth on top, although, as is common with hot chocolate, they are sometimes served with whipped cream instead. They are usually topped with a dusting of either cinnamon or cocoa powder and marshmallows may also be added on top for flavor and decoration.

　　A variant is white café 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, marble mocha, tuxedo mocha and zebra.

　　Café 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.

　　The caffeine content is approximately 10.9 mg/oz (370 mg/L), which is 175 mg for a 16 oz glass.
