Treacherous Turkish coffee

[Turkish coffee], also known as Arabica coffee, is the ancestor of coffee drinking. Turkish coffee and its traditional culture are listed as UNESCO intangible cultural heritage of mankind. It is an incomparably noble etiquette for Turks to make a cup of traditional coffee for visitors, even fasting and bathing in advance.

Most people who have read the history of coffee know that coffee originated in Isopia, spread to Yemen on the other side of the Red Sea, and used the port of Mocha as an export distribution center known as mocha coffee. spread to the Arabian Peninsula is also known as Arabica coffee (and even the variety is generally known as Arabica species) as a worldwide drink, and the source of its spread began in Istanbul, Turkey. The Balkans were ruled by the Ottoman Empire for centuries. The Turks left, but the coffee culture remained. Turkish coffee retains the true taste best and is passed on from generation to generation. The oldest prepared coffee is brewed in an IBRIK (Turkish coffee maker), a primitive Arabian coffee still found in Islamic settlements in the Balkans, even in Greece, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and North Africa.

Coffee sentiment and mystery

There is a Turkish proverb: "drink your cup of Turkish coffee, remember your friendship for forty years." In the streets and alleys of Turkey, there are shops with "coffee" signs, some with a small coffee cup painted, and the edge of the cup seems to be steaming. Drinking Turkish coffee also brings out the habit of fortune-telling. After drinking the coffee, the coffee grounds deposited at the bottom of the cup are used to predict the fortune of the day, especially for women.

The practice of Turkish coffee is to stir-fry thick black coffee beans, grind them into fine powder, put sugar and cold water into a copper deep spoon coffee brewer (IBRIK), cook slowly over low heat, repeatedly stir and add water, and make a small cup of 50cc strong coffee. Drinking coffee is not filtered. This thick cup of coffee is poured into the cup. There is not only sticky foam on the surface, but also residue at the bottom of the cup. After drinking the coffee, the rest of the residue, shape or pattern can be used to predict good or bad luck.

Coffee divination is to watch the patterns formed by the residue after drinking coffee to predict. This method of divination can be carried out alone, or you can find a coffee diviner who specializes in divination. In Greece or Turkey, coffee diviners who specialize in answering questions are often found in coffee shops.
