"Suave molecules of Mocha stir up your blood,……" — Charles Maurice de Talleyrand
"Suave molecules of Mocha stir up your blood, without causing excess heat; the organ of thought receives from it a feeling of sympathy; work becomes easier and you will sit down without distress to your principal repast which will restore your body and afford you a calm, delicious night."
