Mocha is the name of a port on the southern end of the Red Sea, near Yemen. The port has been of little importance since the late eighteen hundreds. Java is an island off the coast of Indonesia. And Mocha referred to those beans being shipped from the port of Mocha, and Java pertained to those beans grown on Java. Thereby Mocha Java was the first successful marketable blending of two varieties of coffee. During the mid to late 1800”s it was believed that coffee roasters acknowledged that there were certain aspects to the Yemeni bean that when blended with Java beans resulted in a very pleasing taste. Or it may have just been convenient to mix these two well known coffees together.
Regrettably, the uniquely original Mocha-Java blend that was very popular during the 1800’s has been lost forever, since a blight of coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix) destroyed the old Java coffee tree stock prior to the 19th century. Over time the island’s Java coffee trees were replanted however, coffee aficionados claim the original flavor of the old java coffee trees was never duplicated. Today’s highly skillful roasters try to imitate the Mocha-Java blend flavor, although they often blend beans that are neither Indonesian Java nor Yemen Mocha to accomplish this. Since no one can truly know for certain the flavor of the original Mocha-Java-Blend coffee, using coffee beans from other than Indonesia or Yemen origins is not necessarily inauthentic.
