Truth is that good coffee has a more complex ways of preparation than just adding water or request it on a bar. One of the most interesting and tasteful ways to prepare this tasteful drink is the Turkish coffee which has been declared an intangible cultural heritage of Turkey by the UNESCO.
The early Turkish coffee brews started in the Sultan palace in which the cuisine staff decided to try a new method of preparation of the black drink – where they first grounded roasted coffee beans in mortars and then boiled the coffee powder with water in a special coffee pot made out of copper and brass know as “cezve”. This new method of coffee brewing on the Sultan’s palace became very popular with in the elite then with time introduced to the general public. Traditionally the Turkish coffee was drunk with out sugar labeled as “country style” or “man’s coffee” know as it even today. Latter to overcome the bitter taste, sugar was added to the preparation.
