If you have the opportunity to travel to Turkey, you can eat a lot of Turkish delicacies, and coffee is also one of the Turkish delicacies. Everyone says Turkish coffee is amazing, do you want to know why? The following is an introduction to coffee in Turkey.

Turkish coffee, also known as Arabic coffee, is the ancestor of European coffee with a history of seven or eight hundred years. It is said that in Turkey, it is a very noble thing to make a cup of traditional Turkish coffee for guests, and some even have to bathe and eat fast in advance. On December 5th, 2013, Turkish coffee and its traditional culture were included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

The Turks have a saying: "Drink you a cup of Turkish coffee and remember your friendship for forty years."

In the streets and alleys of Turkey, there are shops with "coffee" signs everywhere. Some also painted a small coffee cup, the rim of the cup seems to be steaming wisps of heat.

The old coffee tradition originated from Turkey: It is said that there is a coffee fortune-telling habit in Turkey.

After drinking coffee, the coffee grounds deposited at the bottom of the cup are covered on the plate, and the fortune of the day is fortune-telling according to the appearance formed on it.

Turkish coffee is not common, and its flavors are mainly divided into three flavors: bitter (Skaito), slightly sweet (Metrio) and sweet (Gligi). Turkish coffee is the most original taste of coffee.

It retains the most primitive way of brewing in Arabia. It uses a small copper pot from Ibrik and boils the ground very fine coffee powder and water in the pot, and after several times of boiling, a cup of authentic Turkish coffee is obtained.

The main cooking method is to use a stainless-steel pot called Briki, grind the coffee powder very finely, put it directly into the pot and cook it until it boils, then turn off the heat and pour it all into the cup.

Turks drink coffee without filtering out the residue. Because the coffee is very finely ground, most of the coffee powder will settle at the bottom of the cup when you taste it, but you can still drink some fine coffee powder when you drink it, which is also the biggest feature of Turkish coffee.

Another feature of Turkish coffee is that it is they don’t put any milk or other coffee pairs in after brewing. When they brew coffee, they will add some sugar first, and the amount of sugar is mainly based on personal preference. Some people like it bitter, then no sugar will be added, while some people prefer a bit sweeter taste.

In addition, in order to truly taste the unique taste of Turkish coffee, a glass of ice water will be provided. Before drinking Turkish coffee, it is best to take a sip of ice water to make the taste in your mouth reach the most sensitive level, and then you can slowly experience the slightly sour and bitter feeling of Turkish coffee! This kind of feeling is unimaginable, and only after tasting it in person can you appreciate the mystery.
