History

Mocha or mochaccino is a variation on the theme of latte, common in America. It is made from espresso, frothed milk, and a little chocolate. Some establishments add cocoa powder with added sugar; they also use chocolate syrup or chocolate. If we are talking about beans collected in natural conditions, this can only be done in the tropics, near the equator. This is the territory from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn. The refined taste of the drink is delivered by 120 chemical components contained in the beans. The popularity of the drink is evidenced by the fact that about 200 billion cups of this invigorating drink are drunk daily around the world, 91% of which are for breakfast.
