Turkish CoffeeTurkish coffee is simple and romantic, the way it was first made as a coffee drink. Turkish coffee is not the kind of coffee you grab on the way to work...it's a coffee for quiet enjoying. Turkish coffee is especially good for those who love... life! Turkish coffee was invented as a drink during the 16th century in the Middle East--brewed in little pots called ibriks or cezves. From Egypt it spread through the Middle East, and then into Europe and Russia. Today you'll find Turkish coffee in Middle Eastern and Greek restaurants from New York to San Francisco, and…of course, one very busy little shop in Kentucky called Natasha's Cafe.

Turkish coffee is found throughout the Old World. It's stronger than espresso, but not as bitter. That's what my Russian friends in Lexington stop by to get. That's what Gene and I use at home. Available in whole bean

Greek Coffee is imported from Athens. It's a sweet blend of Brazilian coffee and chicory. If you've been to Greece you know exactly what I mean - there's nothing like it anywhere else in the world. Its made the same way as Turkish coffee, in ibriks, but of course the Greeks would never call it Turkish. |
 | Kosher Turkish Coffee is not just Kosher, this Arabica bean is ground to perfection and has a dark rich flavor that we love. It's prepared under the supervision of Rabi Haddad Lod Rabbinate in Israel and vacuum packed for freshness.

Coffee Cairo is Turkish coffee, spiced with cardamom and cloves, a blend closer to the first coffee of the 16th and 17th centuries. They drink it this way in most of the Middle East, in Middle Eastern restaurants in America, and of course, in Cairo. |
| Coffee Africa is a rich blend of Turkish coffee & chocolate; it tastes sweet and sexy. |  |
| Berber Coffee Our quest for exotic coffees led us to the grandmother of all spices -- coriander, probably one of the first spices used by mankind, having been known as early as 5000 BC. While cardamom is the most predominant spice added to Turkish coffee in the Middle East, coriander is the preferred spice for many North Africans. Berber Coffee is our own blend of the finest Central American coffees, freshly ground with fresh coriander added.
Just who are those Berbers anyway! |

If you're trying this one for the first time watch out... the cardamom is pretty overpowering. The coffee is vacuum packed sealed for freshness.
