Thought to be the first blend in the history of coffee, Mocha Java is very well known for perfectly balancing the desirable traits of Indonesian and Yemeni beans. Mocha beans provide a bright and lively acidity, while Java beans provide some heaviness and earthy character. Many roasters now recreate the Mocha Java profile with beans from different origins due to the current conflict in Yemen. While many of these takes on the classic blend taste quite similar, there is something special about drinking the real original blend. Consider yourself lucky if you can get yours hands on the real thing!

Let's be clear right off the bat. While the Mocha Java blend does contain hints of cocoa, Mocha does not mean chocolate. This is a commonly held perception because of the highly commercialized nature of Cafe Mocha style products that are made with chocolate. If you're looking for that strong chocolate taste, you may have to mix half coffee, half hot chocolate. But if you're looking for the classical coffee blend, look no further. This profile is rich and complex, with notes of earth, nuts and cocoa. The Mocha beans provide a wine-toned acidity that is balanced by the Java beans. A sweet finish lingers long after the cup is done. If you've never tried the real Mocha Java blend, give this one a go!
