Turkish coffee is a very notable and unique cultural food in Turkey that has its own tradition. Turkish coffee is prepared differently than the standard coffee that is drank all over the world – having a unique taste and consistency. During gatherings at someone’s home, Turkish coffee is almost always served, with tea being served otherwise.
Our language partner, Merve Hocam, was nice enough to make us a cup of Turkish coffee in her own cups (fıncan)! Being able to have a nice cup of Turkish coffee felt like a nice way of experiencing what people in Turkey experience every day. I did not know what to expect in terms of taste when I drank this, but it was definitely different from any other coffee I have ever had before.

I'm not a big coffee person, but that's going to have to change, especially after hearing your presentation about it. I'll be in Greece this Christmas, so I'll see if I can also get some Turkish coffee. I can't really say I've lived until I've tried it.
