A complex espresso full of untamed aromas with a delightful balance of bitter, roasted, and fruity notes, finished with a light acidity and a sweet almond aftertaste.
The History of Turkish Coffee
Turkish coffee is a traditional beverage originating from Turkey, known for its unique flavor and distinctive preparation method. Unlike other types of coffee, Turkish coffee is made with very finely ground coffee beans that are boiled with water and often sugar in a small copper or brass pot with a long handle, called a cezve. This method creates a rich and flavorful cup of coffee with a characteristic foam layer on top.
The coffee beans and their roasting
These coffee varieties are combined to create a divine and complex profile; a blend of bitterness, acidity, and fruity notes. The careful roasting of these beans plays an essential role in achieving the characteristic taste of Turkish coffee, evoking the cosmopolitanism of the cafes in Istanbul.
