Turkish Coffee Culture and Tradition
Turkish coffee combines its preparation and brewing techniques with the traditional culture of Turkey, where roasted coffee beans are ground and placed in a coffee pot, then cold water and sugar are added to it and slowly brewed on the stove to produce the desired foam. The beverage is then served in small cups, accompanied by a glass of water, and is mainly drunk in cafes when people gather to chat and read books.
The Turkish coffee tradition is a symbol of hospitality and friendship, and it plays an important role in social occasions such as engagement ceremonies and holidays; Its knowledge and rituals are transmitted between family members through observation and sharing.
Turkish Coffee Culture and Tradition was inscribed in 2013 on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in Turkey.
