КРИМСЬКОТАТАРСЬКА КАВОВА ТРАДИЦІЯ

Salam aleikum! And what about drinking a cup of Crimean Tatar coffee… on the Moon? That's where Ms. Torbynka, the owner of the first Crimean Tatar coffee shop in space, invites us. She embarks on a journey through the centuries to tell us how coffee got to Crimea and why it became such an important part of Crimean Tatar culture. We'll learn: how coffee beans traveled from Ethiopia through Yemen, the Ottoman Empire, and the Black Sea to Crimea; why a degirmen is needed — a special copper coffee grinder; why Crimean Tatar coffee was brewed in a cezve on hot sand; what are syutlyu havey, kara havey, and saba haveysy; why sugar was not added to traditional coffee and what is bekmez for; how a few coffee beans could preserve the memory of home even far from Crimea; and what are hoshkeldy havesy and kozaydin havesy - coffee of meeting and coffee of good news.
