A Brief History

The concept of mocha, as we know it today, originated in the 17th and 18th centuries in Europe. During this time, coffee and chocolate were the epitome of luxury, reserved only for the elite. However, as trade routes expanded, so did the availability of these exotic ingredients. Coffeehouses began popping up all over Europe, and it wasn't long before someone brilliant decided to combine the two. And thus, the mocha was born!
