TURKISH COFFEE:

The first Starbucks type cafe was opened in Istanbul Turkey in 16th century. Coffee is not grown in Turkey. Initially it was brought from Yemen and became a social drink of wealthy people. Later on it became popular among the average people as well.

Currently it is not common among among the Turkish people. Instead, Turkish people drinks hot bleak tea now.

One day a bus full of foreign tourists stopped at a service station. The driver ordered 35 Turkish cafe (for tourists) and 2 instant coffee (for  himself and assistant driver)

 Turkish coffee is a very fine, powder-like grind.  Turkish coffee has six levels of sweetness ranging from very sweet to black. Since sugar is not added to the coffee after it is served, spoons are not needed. As the coffee begins to heat, it begins to foam. A rule of the Turkish coffee ceremony dictates that if the foam is absent from the face of the coffee, the host loses face. Turkish coffee is served hot from a special coffee pot called "cezve". Special very small cups are used to drink the Turkish Coffee.
