love Turkish tea. the coffee? not so much - too reminiscent of old style cowboy coffee, only in smaller portions and a finer grind - but still super strong and gritty

They did not call it Turkish coffee, but insisted it was Arabic Coffee. Qaw-wah Arabia, as opposed to qaw-wah Amerikia, which was also available.

Where I went in Turkey the contrast was most often over the Greek versions of things. All yummy though!
