“Jamocha” means coffee, now usually combined with chocolate. The word originates from a combination of two famous coffee-growing regions, Java and Mocha, which were two of the most prevalent sources of coffee. Java (see previous question) is an Indonesian island on which the Dutch set up vast coffee plantations. Mocha is a port on the Red Sea, which was the source of some of the world's finest coffee from the Arabian Peninsula. Together they formed the word “jamocha,” today most commonly associated with ice cream or other frozen confections based on coffee and chocolate. (If there’s a better flavour combination than chocolate and coffee, please let us know in the comments!)
