    Ever wonder why coffee tastes different not just in flavor, but in meaning — depending on where you are?

    ☕ In Ethiopia, it’s a ritual:
    They roast the beans in front of you, grind them fresh, brew slowly. It’s less about caffeine, more about connection. This is where coffee began — the original home of Arabica beans and the famous Kaldi goat legend.

    🇹🇷 In Turkey, it’s an art form:
    Boiled, not brewed. No filters. Served in tiny cups with sweet treats and often followed by a fortune read from the coffee grounds. Deeply social, deeply rooted in Ottoman tradition.

    Coffee isn’t just a drink. It’s a story, told differently across continents.

    What’s the most memorable coffee moment you’ve ever had while traveling?
