The tradition of coffee in the world.

Because behind a delicious drink, there is also tradition.

Since its discovery, coffee has become one of the sacred substances of humanity.

In the Arab world it is common to see people in the neighborhood at the end of the day sharing daily events in the same cafe. It is the meeting place of the inhabitants of the community.

In the case of Colombia, it is a ritual to offer a coffee, which is called “red wine”, to any visitor to your home or workplace. It is from the coffee where the conversation arises, and the offer of the drink is a sign that the visitor is welcome and can stay to talk.

In Turkey, it is an important traditional ceremony when a boy visits his girlfriend’s family for the first time, she usually makes coffee for everyone, but in the cup he puts salt instead of sugar. If he still drinks coffee, then he loves her. The rite does not end the coffee: it is customary to turn the cup to read the grounds and predict the future, a habit called ‘fal’.

In Greece and the Netherlands, coffee is prepared in copper saucepans with a very fine ground powder, maximum for three cups, never for more. Ground coffee, to which sugar or honey is added, is mixed with water and brought to a boil. The drink should be allowed to stand to decant the powder, which is deposited in the bottom of the cup.

In Mexico, coffee pot is prepared in a large clay pot with a narrow mouth, with thick coffee beans, which are mixed with cinnamon and brown sugar. The clay pot is essential for the taste and it is typical to find it outside the city and in the cold areas.
