Quick answerMake a strong shot of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong coffee with Yemeni beans, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder or melted dark chocolate, then add about 6 oz of steamed or frothed milk. Dust with cocoa or cinnamon.
The café mocha is named after Yemen's historic coffee port, so it makes sense to make it with Yemeni coffee.
