Fine coffee beans were grown in Yemen, and Mocha was the port town from which they were chipped. Later, mocha developed a new meaning – the indulgent mixture of chocolate and coffee.

3 – D … Spain

The first official shipment of cocoa beans arrived in Spain in 1585. But the Spanish had been secretly bringing in the precious crop for nearly 60 years before that. In fact, in 1579 English pirates looking for treasure on a Spanish galleon, mistook the valuable beans for sheep droppings, and burned the entire ship. It wasn’t until the mid-1600s that France, England and Italy started their love affairs with chocolate.
