The answer
MOCHA
What mocha means
A coffee drink made by combining espresso with steamed milk and chocolate, typically topped with whipped cream or foam.
Where the word comes from
Mocha comes from Mocha, a port city on the Red Sea coast of Yemen that was a major center of coffee trade in the 15th and 16th centuries. European merchants encountered the beverage there and adopted both the coffee and its place-name, eventually using "mocha" to refer to the coffee itself. The name traveled through Arabic, where the city was known as Mukha, before entering European languages.
