Even as early as 1759, Voltaire is writing in Candide: "His two daughters and two sons presented them with diverse sorts of sherbet...and Mocha coffee unadulterated with the bad coffee of Batvia [Indonesia]." In the 19th century, Aden usurped Mocha as Yemen's main port.
I received a fax from the International Coffee Organization which reads, "Mocha is said to have a unique flavor, distinctly winey, some even say with chocolate undertones." I think it's clear how mocha came to mean 'coffee'.
